The Daft Punk Experience is a new immersive tribute coming to Fortnite to celebrate the Grammy-winning duo’s iconic sound, vision, and legacy. It is a fully interactive playground that includes multiple rooms with different ways to experience Daft Punk’s music. Spanning 31 songs from across the group’s discography, this marks the biggest musical experience in Fortnight’s history. The experience grand opening is on September 27th at 2:00 pm EST, with doors opening to the pre-event lobby at 1:30 pm EST.
Players get transported into a galactic portal through a monolith in Battle Royale, or can dive in at any time by choosing the “Daft Punk Experience” tile directly from Discover. Centred around a dance floor destination hub, the festivities kick off with a supercut from Daft Punk’s legendary “Alive” tour and Alive 2007 album.
The Daft Punk Experience gives fans and players a chance to enter into this retro-futuristic realm, celebrating the band’s legacy, reimagined for the virtual world. Remix Daft Punk’s previously released music and create mashups of Daft Punk’s songs within Fortnite at Dream Chamber Studios, blast hordes of robots with a soundwave laser in the Robot Rock Arena, make a LEGO music video at “Around the World,” or hit the “Daft Club” to dance ‘til dawn. You’ll also find furniture from longtime Daft Punk collaborators Hervet Manufacturier throughout the experience.
A new “Daft Punk Bundle” will also be available in the Fortnite Shop starting September 25 at 8 pm EST. Accessories include the signature GM08 helmet, outfit, and accessories (both in Fortnite and LEGO styles); TB3 helmet, outfit, and accessories (both in Fortnite and LEGO styles); along with instruments and a “Get Lucky” (feat. Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers) Jam Track.
An afterparty is set to follow, with details to be shared at a later date.
