The American heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold is teasing an upcoming collaboration with Fortnite, following the recent introduction of Eminem skins in the game.
Fortnite has a diverse history of collaborations, featuring characters such as Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars, Alan Wake, Jack Skellington, Michael Myers etc. Now, Avenged Sevenfold is gearing up to become part of the collaborators in the popular PC battle royale game Fortnite.
The band released their debut album in 2001, but it was their 2005 album, City of Evil that propelled them to mainstream success. Reflecting on the fact that this occurred eighteen years ago serves as a reminder of the passage of time.
Despite their extensive history, the band remains relevant, with their eighth album Life is But a Dream. In a not-too-cryptic social media post on X/Twitter, the band shared a 26-second clip from Fortnite, featuring a character sweeping the floor next to the band’s winged skull logo while the song “(D)eath” from their latest album plays in the background.
The accompanying message simply states, “…soon.” Although no specific date is provided, Fortnite operates at a rapid pace, so the collaboration may unfold sooner rather than later. The details of what to expect remain unknown – will the band make an appearance in the game, or will it be their music and related accessories taking center stage? Regardless, there is high anticipation to see what unfolds.
