Look Sports Media – Epic Games is about to drop the hottest collaboration yet, bringing the legendary electronic duo Daft Punk to the world of Fortnite. This isn’t just another in-game concert; it’s a fully immersive experience designed to celebrate the iconic duo’s legacy. Prepare for a nostalgic trip down memory lane, complete with interactive gameplay and exclusive cosmetics.
The Fortnite Daft Punk experience launches on September 27th at 7:00 pm BST (UK time). Players can access the event through Fortnite’s Discover area. But don’t worry if you miss the official launch; the activities and game modes will remain available afterward.
What awaits you? Get ready to explore several immersive rooms and activities. One highlight is the new Dream Chamber Studio, where you can remix Daft Punk’s music. In the Robot Rock Arena, you’ll blast hordes of robots using a soundwave laser – pure, unadulterated fun. LEGO Fortnite fans can even create a music video for the iconic hit "Around the World." The experience also features in-game furniture designed by Daft Punk collaborators Hervet Manufacturier, adding a unique touch.

To further enhance the experience, 31 Daft Punk songs will be added to Fortnite, including a new jam track available for purchase in the in-game store.
Even before the main event, you can grab the Daft Punk bundle and cosmetics, starting September 26th at 1:00 am. Expect to pay between 1,500 and 2,200 V-bucks for these exclusive items, available in both standard and LEGO Fortnite styles. The mega-hit "Get Lucky" will be available as a purchasable jam track.
This collaboration marks a shift in Fortnite’s music partnerships. Unlike previous collaborations focused on artists popular with younger audiences, this event taps into the nostalgia of millennials and older Gen Z, echoing the recent Gorillaz collaboration. However, let’s be clear: Fortnite has confirmed that this collaboration does not signal a Daft Punk reunion.
This isn’t your typical Fortnite concert; it’s an interactive playground designed to let players experience Daft Punk’s music in entirely new ways. For many older Fortnite players, this nostalgic approach is a welcome change, and it might just set a new precedent for future music collaborations. Get ready to drop the beat!
