Fortnite X Daft Punk Leak Hints at Iconic Music Crossover

Fortnite has become known for some of the most surprising and exciting collaborations in gaming history. From superheroes and Star Wars characters from the Marvel universe to worldwide music superstars like Ariana Grande and Travis Scott, Epic Games has built Fortnite into much more than a battle royale game; it has established a culture. Now, it appears the legendary French electronic duo Daft Punk may be the next to join the experience. With their iconic helmets and timeless songs, if Daft Punk makes it to Fortnite, it would be yet another amazing music crossover for the Fortnite Festival.

Fortnite X Daft Punk Leaked

The April leak suggests that the crossover could be branded under “Around The World,” which is also the title of Daft Punk’s 1997 classic, and it could show up in Fortnite as a special Fortnite Festival event playlist, with the attached description, “Make your own version of the iconic music video!” suggesting a combination of rhythm gameplay within Fortnite’s creative environment, allowing players to engage with Daft Punk music in a way that they otherwise would not.

The codename from the leak is playlist_stridemice_cats, which sounds like Fortnite’s internal designations for new Festival content, while there are no guarantees that both the name and description are enough to stir up theories that this is nothing small and could be a season event. Before jumping into the game, make sure to check Fortnite system requirements to ensure a lag-free experience.

What Songs Could Be Included in the Fortnite X Daft Punk Collaboration?

While it's not yet official whether this collaboration is formally related to Fortnite Festival, it has been leaked that music will be involved. Daft Punk has so many tracks and many classics that would fit perfectly either in Fortnite's rhythm-based gameplay or event playlists. The songs that fans think could appear in the game are:

• One More Time
• Get Lucky
• Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
• Around the World
• Instant Crush
  These danceable electronic tracks from Daft Punk seem like a perfect fit for Fortnite, whether it's through Festival, creative experiences, or a limited-time mode around Daft Punk.

Possible Skins and Cosmetics in the Fortnite X Daft Punk Collaboration

The actual question is what type of cosmetic items players may encounter. Both Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo would most likely be presented as distinct skins or possibly as combos, having their helmets and clean outfits. Fortnite could also utilize its electronic aesthetic in choices made on festival instruments, too.
One speculation by many fans is that rather than brand-new models, Epic will have metallic recolors of existing guitars, drums, keytars, and microphones for Daft Punk's branding. Regardless of what emerges, it is fair to say that the skins alone would be an immediate must-have for longtime fans.

A Legendary Crossover in the Making?

Like all leaks, nothing is ever guaranteed until Epic Games confirms it; however, we're feeling like Daft Punk in a Fortnite Festival seems almost like a given considering how their music fits the mode so well. If this is a legitimate collaboration, it's certainly one of the most exciting in Fortnite history.

For now, fans will just need to wait and see if the robots are indeed coming to the Island.
