In January, PDP revealed they are bringing back the era of gaming instruments with the Riffmaster that is made for Fortnite Festival. The Riffmaster wireless guitar controller is now available to purchase and it comes with a hefty price of $129.99 USD.
The Riffmaster is compatible with Fortnite Festival Pro Lead and Pro Bass song parts and it will work with Rock Band 4. When PDP first announced this guitar, pre-orders sold out hours after and those who did get an order in will be part of the first wave that is rolling out now.
“Response to the RIFFMASTERdesign has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Trevor Lehr, Director of Product Management, Performance Designed Products. “Long-time Rock Band loyalists have quickly picked up what we’re laying down with RIFFMASTER,and a whole new generation of rhythm-action gamers can now have a Fortnite Festival experience like never before.”
Here is what the Riffmaster features:
Now compatible with Fortnite Festival (Pro Lead and Pro Bass song parts) and Rock Band 4.
