As Fortnite Festival Season 8 officially launches today with pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter headlining the musical lineup, fresh rumors have already begun swirling about who could be next. And if the community chatter and leaker buzz are to be believed, it might just be one of the most iconic electronic duos of all time - Daft Punk.
According to well-known Fortnite leakers and dataminers, the French EDM pioneers could be the next featured artists in Fortnite Festival Season 9 , which is expected to begin in July 2025.
A legendary duo in the making?
Daft Punk, known for redefining electronic music with hits like One More Time, Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, and Get Lucky, disbanded in 2021, but their legacy has lived on in pop culture. If the rumors prove true, Fortnite could be the stage for a spectacular digital reunion.
Though Epic Games has yet to confirm the collaboration, multiple prominent Fortnite insiders, including those behind previous accurate leaks, have hinted at Daft Punk’s arrival in future game files. While no visuals or in-game assets have surfaced yet, the timing and sources suggest something is in the works.
What to expect in Fortnite Festival Season 9
If Daft Punk becomes the featured Festival artist for Season 9, players can expect at least two skins representing the duo, likely modeled after their iconic chrome and gold helmeted personas. Consistent with the Festival format, one of these skins could be unlocked through the Music Pass, while the other would be made available in the Item Shop for purchase.
Themed cosmetics, emotes, and instruments inspired by their music and aesthetic - such as digital visors, glowing DJ decks, and robot dance animations—are also expected to be part of the package. Fans can likely jam along to timeless hits like Around the World and Technologic through Fortnite’s interactive rhythm game mode.
While the Fortnite Festival spotlight is firmly on Sabrina Carpenter this month, with her “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” tracks featured as Jam Tracks, players are already speculating what a Daft Punk crossover could mean. Social media is abuzz with excitement, with many users saying a Daft Punk appearance would be “legendary” and “a full-circle moment” for music fans and Fortnite veterans alike.
As with all leaks, fans are advised to take the news with a grain of salt until Epic Games makes an official announcement. But for now, the possibility of Daft Punk taking the virtual stage in Fortnite has certainly sparked imaginations across the gaming and music communities.
