Daft Punk May Return in Upcoming Fortnite Festival Event

There’s been a lot of buzz lately about the possibility of Daft Punk making a comeback in Fortnite Festival. Rumors suggest that the iconic French electronic duo, who disbanded in 2021, might be featured in an upcoming season of the rhythm-based game mode, potentially Season 9, expected around July 2025.

This speculation comes from Fortnite leaker FNBRintel, and fans are excited about the possibility of seeing the robot-helmeted duo reunite in the vibrant world of Fortnite.

Fortnite Festival has become a hub for big musical collaborations, featuring artists like Sabrina Carpenter, The Weeknd, and Billie Eilish. Daft Punk’s inclusion would fit right in, given their legendary status in electronic dance music and their futuristic aesthetic, which aligns perfectly with Fortnite’s bold, colorful world.

If the rumors hold true, players could expect to jam to classics like “Get Lucky” or “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,” alongside themed skins—perhaps their signature helmets as cosmetics—and other in-game goodies.

That said, it’s all still unconfirmed. Leaks from dataminers, but without an official word from Epic Games, it’s wise to take it with a grain of salt.

Daft Punk’s disbandment was pretty final, marked by their cinematic “Epilogue” video, so any “return” would likely be a licensed use of their music and likeness rather than a real reunion. Still, the thought of their beats pulsing through Fortnite Festival has fans hyped—and for good reason.

Their influence on music and pop culture makes them a dream collab for a game that thrives on spectacle. We’ll have to wait and see if Epic Games drops the beat on this one!
