Fortnite Festival is a multiplatform rhythm game set in the Fortnite universe. Our goal with the UX and UI was to stay true to the Fortnite visual language, but turn up the intensity and create a language unique to festivals.
This was the first diegetic exploration in the backstage area of the game. The goal was to give players a centralized place to view all of the match information without cluttering the HUD. We ultimately moved some of this information into the HUD, but the song information remained diegetic and thematic to the backstage.
The user needed a keybound interaction to quickly change their instrument and difficulty while running around backstage. Fortnite had a familiar hotbar interaction pattern that I repurposed and expanded for Festival.
