Rumors continue to hint at the next upcoming additions to Fortnite, with a recent leak on an event calendar revealing plans for a Daft Punk collaboration to be announced soon. Fortnite has had a number of major crossovers with different pop culture and entertainment brands over the years, and hype is now building for the legendary music duo to join the fray in the battle royale world of Fortnite.
Daft Punk made their debut back in 1993, skyrocketing in popularity for their unique electronic blend of French house, dance, and disco beats. Some of Daft Punk’s most iconic music tracks include “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,” “One More Time,” and “Get Lucky” featuring Pharrell Williams. If a recently deleted events calendar post is accurate, audiences can look forward to Daft Punk becoming the newest music artists in Fortnite.
Daft Punk Fortnite Calendar Leak
Spotted by known Fortnite leaker Shiina, an event calendar website tracking the update and announcement schedule for the smash-hit battle royale game accidentally included mention of a Daft Punk collaboration blog post, which is supposedly planned for late September. Shiina further notes that the expected musical crossover will be a special event, which will feature some of Daft Punk’s biggest songs. While there was no confirmation on whether the event will include character skins, new emotes, or cosmetic options, previous Fortnite music special events with artists like Marshmello and Ariana Grande did include the addition of new customization content.
The beloved online multiplayer title continues to expand its offerings with special pop culture crossovers in Fortnite, ranging from the inclusion of characters from Marvel, DC Comics, Star Wars, John Wick, and even Halo, to the introduction of in-game festivals starring Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, and Sabrina Carpenter. It is key to note that changes behind-the-scenes can happen at any time, and even the most reliable leakers and sources can get things wrong from time to time. As such, audiences will want to await an official announcement from Fortnite before getting too excited about the Daft Punk collaboration.
Fortnite is not the only game to introduce music artists into the game, with titles like Call of Duty offering Snoop Dogg and Nicki Minaj skins. Despite being officially retired, Daft Punk and their music remain incredibly popular, so it should come as no surprise that audiences are keeping their fingers crossed for an official reveal of the duo’s special event in Fortnite to come sooner rather than later.
