Fortnite enables a new musical proposal with the Daft Punk Experience, a play space dedicated to the universe of the French duo and the aesthetics of their Alive tour. Far from a traditional concert, it is an interactive environment designed to explore, mix and participate actively.
The idea is to invite the community on a tour with nods to its legacy: visual and sound, with emphasis on the Alive tour, and with mechanics to experiment with songs from the group's catalog and notable collaborations.
Date, time and access
The event starts on Saturday at 15:00 PM (Argentina) and 12:00 PM (Mexico), equivalent to 14:00 PM on the East Coast of the United States. Early access opens 30 minutes before the event via the Discover tab in the By Epic section, where you can find the experience by searching for “Daft Punk Experience.”
For those who connect within the first section, There is a promotional window between 15:00 PM and 16:00 PM (ARG) / 12:00 PM and 13:00 PM (MX) which allows you to unlock the Wavewalkers, a music-reactive shoe that will be delivered in the game during the following week.
As is usual in this type of proposals, This is not a live show., but rather an activity “park” with several themed rooms and a dance floor that closes with the key moments of the Alive show.
What you will find within the experience
The tour proposes entering a sand inspired by the iconography and energy of Alive, with stations to mix tracks from the duo and popular collaborations like Get Lucky (with Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers) or Starboy (with The Weeknd).
Among the activities, there will be several stops: Dream Chamber Studios to create remixes, Robot Rock Arena with challenges against bots, a set for put together a LEGO-style music video for Around the World and the Daft Club as a dance area.
The space adds production details with Hervet Manufacturier furniture —a regular collaborator of the duo— and audiovisual elements provided by NASA and The Recording Academy, looking for a setting recognizable by fans.
The proposal culminates in a central track with a "supercut" of the live performance of Alive, designed to condense the duo's artistic discourse within the Fortnite environment and without interrupting the player's participatory flow.
Rewards and contents in the store
In addition to early access and the time slot to obtain the Wavewalkers sneakers, Epic has enabled a bundle in the store with cosmetics from the duo. The Daft Punk lot offers GM08 and TB3 outfits (in Fortnite and LEGO versions), retro backpacks and Inspired emotes like Get Lucky and Around the World.
Official instruments are also added, such as the Take Five double-neck guitar and bass, along with the Get Lucky Jam Track, so the community can build new mixes in-game. All items in the set can also be purchased individually.
Epic places the launch of the bundle from September 25 (8 pm ET) in the Fortnite Item Shop, coinciding with the experience's opening on Saturday. The goal is for players to have themed cosmetics before entering.
LEGO Fortnite and Creator Options
In LEGO mode, The Daft Punk Pyramid will debut, a reactive building that lights up to the beat of the music, along with themed decoration packages: Bedroom Faster Stronger, Robot Rock Rig and the series Digital Digs (I, II, III) to personalize spaces.
Those who are part of the program Support-A-Creator will be able to monetize videos of the experience on YouTube between September 27 (1:30 pm ET) and October 4 (1:30 pm ET), publishing them as Public or UnlistedOn Twitch, it's recommended to disable VODs and clips to avoid complaints.
