Fortnite has received a plethora of game-changing updates during its lifetime, though recent years have seen Epic Games take the brand to new heights and unexpected places. The last two years have been especially transformative for the game, with new experiences launching for Fortnite, like Rocket Racing and LEGO Fortnite. Ballistic has shaken things up quite a bit as well, giving players the chance to compete in a first-person setting. Fortnite Festival has been one of the most popular new modes to release, essentially serving as a blend between Rock Band and Guitar Hero. A huge part of Fortnite Festival is its near-constant string of new songs and artists, with a now-defunct music group set to reunite in Fortnite's digital world.
Fortnite Reveals New 'Shell' Maps for Ballistic Mode
An exciting new Fortnite update is coming soon, making some significant changes to the game's first-person shooter mode, Ballistic.
According to Fortnite leaker FNBRintel, Daft Punk is set to launch in Fortnite as part of Season 9 of Fortnite Festival. The dance-music pair feels like a perfect fit for Fortnite and would likely generate lots of excitement and intrigue, considering the duo officially broke up in early 2021. In addition to music tracks, this collaboration would likely include new cosmetics, adding to Fortnite Festival's growing catalog of artists and songs.
Daft Punk Rumored for Fortnite Festival
Hailed as one of the defining acts of not just the electronic scene but of the entire music industry, Daft Punk has remained culturally relevant even all these years later. From "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger," and "Around the World" to producing the entire soundtrack to Disney's Tron: Legacy in 2010, Daft Punk dominated the 2000s and 2010s with their signature blend of punchy dance music and their infamous robot personas. Numerous musical artists already have or want to make their way into Fortnite, with Daft Punk being a no-brainer considering their legacy even post-breakup.
Fortnite is currently in the midst of its Chapter 6 Season 2 update, which made many changes to the game and its systems. Gold bars are even more important this time around, with the season's theme being centered on crime. New locations like Crime City have been added to the map, with Fortnite's current season tasking players with robbing vaults and acquiring as much loot as possible. Chapter 6 Season 3 is expected to launch on May 2 and is rumored to be Star Wars-related.
