Reunion rumors have been rampant since Daft Punk shockingly disbanded in 2021, leaving behind a deeply influential legacy and a trail of broken hearts. A number of archival releases<\/a> have trickled out since, but fans have seen no signs of a bona fide comeback.<\/p>\n

A collaboration between Daft Punk and\u00a0Fortnite<\/em>\u00a0feels like a match made in digital heaven<\/a>.\u00a0Fortnite<\/em>\u00a0has consistently innovated the nexus of gaming and live music, starting with Marshmello’s 2019 in-game performance and eventually creating a separate, rhythm-based game mode, Fortnite Festival, which has featured The Weeknd, Lady Gaga and Metallica.<\/p>\n

The idea of donning Daft Punk\u2019s iconic helmets while dancing to “One More Time” at a virtual festival stage is enough to send both ravers and gamers into orbit. If the rumor holds true, they’re in for one of the most ambitious crossovers in digital entertainment in some time.<\/p>\n

Until then, they’ll have to wait, helmet in hand.\u00a0Neither Epic Games\u00a0nor Daft Punk has publicly addressed the rumors of a collaboration at the time of this writing.<\/p>\n
