Fortnite’s live events are nothing short of legendary, drawing millions into its vibrant metaverse. Whether it’s Eminem battling the Mecha Team Leader while rapping to “Houdini,” or Travis Scott taking over the island with his dazzling Astronomical performance in 2020, these moments capture the essence of interactive entertainment.
Epic Games has truly mastered the live event phenomenon, generating massive social media buzz as fans dig into leaks and datamined hints about what’s next. As Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 reaches its thrilling midpoint, players are eagerly awaiting the next significant crossover—one that promises fresh skins, emotes, and, quite possibly, a live event aligned with the upcoming Halloween festivities.
Dataminers like HYPEX and ShiinaBR are already buzzing about an exciting collaboration with the iconic French duo Daft Punk. Previously hinted at in player surveys, early rumors suggested they might headline a Fortnite Festival season. However, the latest whispers indicate a live event on the island with a unique open contest for players to engage in. Here’s what you need to know about this highly anticipated Daft Punk crossover.
When Will the Daft Punk Crossover Launch in Fortnite?
Leaked information suggests that the Daft Punk collaboration will go live on September 27, 2025, which conveniently precedes the launch of Epic’s Fortnitemares update for Chapter 6 Season 4. Throughout this season, players have noticed a mysterious monolith on the island, initially mistaken by some as a replica of the Washington Monument.
According to leaks, this monolith is intricately linked to the live event featuring Daft Punk, resembling a pink/purple structure showcased briefly in the duo’s “Starboy” music video. Additional details suggest this monolith will change color and emit a sound, mirroring the visual effects in the music video.
The datamined files indicate two event playlists. The first focuses on a live event showcasing a spectacular Daft Punk performance. The second playlist is tied to their iconic “Around The World” music video, offering an open contest where players can create their own renditions of the music video. The suggested official playlist description is enticing: “Make your own version of the iconic music video!”
Moreover, two unique abilities have surfaced in leaks: a dash ability that comes with a cooldown and a “Super” ability players can collect and activate. While this information is based purely on leaks and hasn’t been confirmed by Epic Games or Daft Punk, fans are on the edge of their seats for official announcements.
