JAKARTA - Epic Games will again hold a virtual concert in the near future. Several artists and singers will enliven the concert held in the Fortnite game.

Along with the concert, it turns out that Epic Games will also embed some new features. This feature is an interactive feature where gamers can provide a new experience for the concert goers.

The concert, entitled Soundwave Series, will feature singer from Egypt, Mohamed Hamaki, who will perform first. The Hamaki show starts on October 1 and will run until October 3.

Performers attending the show will be rewarded with special Hamaki Sprays that symbolize the artist and their work. For content creators, the company urges to read the official guidelines regarding regulations in the Epic Games blog post before recording.

If players want to see the concert, there are several ways to view it. Gamers can attend by logging into a dedicated playlist or watching it during a regular battle royale match via picture-in-picture mode.

With this new concert, it is claimed that it will mark Epic's next initiative to make Fortnite more than just a game. Not only does this concert offer something else for players to do, but the picture-in-picture feature built into the game can keep players in Fortnite, without having to exit the game just to open the music player or something.

Apart from featuring Hamaki, Epic also invited several other artists such as Australian singer-songwriter Tones And I, Brazilian rapper Emicida, Japanese pop artist and music producer Gen Hoshino, and French-Malian singer Aya Nakamura.
