Reunion rumors have been rampant since Daft Punk shockingly disbanded in 2021, forsaking a deeply influential legacy and a path of damaged hearts. A lot of archival releases have trickled out since, however followers have seen no indicators of a bona fide comeback.

A collaboration between Daft Punk and Fortnite seems like a match made in digital heaven. Fortnite has persistently innovated the nexus of gaming and dwell music, beginning with Marshmello’s 2019 in-game efficiency and finally making a separate, rhythm-based sport mode, Fortnite Competition, which has featured The Weeknd, Girl Gaga and Metallica.

The thought of donning Daft Punk’s iconic helmets whereas dancing to “One Extra Time” at a digital pageant stage is sufficient to ship each ravers and avid gamers into orbit. If the rumor holds true, they’re in for probably the most bold crossovers in digital leisure in a while.

Till then, they will have to attend, helmet in hand. Neither Epic Video games nor Daft Punk has publicly addressed the rumors of a collaboration on the time of this writing.
