Want to hear more about Metallica’s journey across Fortnite? Listen to this week’s “The Metallica Report” podcast where James Hetfield shares insight into how the band feels about taking over Fortnite.

During the episode James shared: “It [Fortnite] was a really cool idea. And the way it was explained to me is it’s a whole ‘nother continent. And we’ve played all seven so might as well play the eighth one, you know. So let’s get in on that. And yeah, explore and be adventurous and see what comes out of this. Why would we not?”
