Daft Punk will become the subject of a new, “immersive” in-game experience in Fortnite later this week.

In a “first of its kind” experience for the video game, players will be able to “step through the veil and embark on a sonic journey through the minds of the GRAMMY-winning electronic duo” on Friday, September 27.

The Daft Punk Experience comes to life in-game at 2:PM Eastern Time (ET), allowing users to enter a “retro-futuristic realm celebrating the band’s legacy”.

Once inside, you’re invited to remix Daft Punk’s music at Dream Chamber Studios, blow up robots with a soundwave laser in the Robot Rock Arena, make a LEGO® music video at Around the World, or party at the Daft Club. 

The immersive experience also features a soundtrack of Daft Punk classics, kicking off with a “supercut from their legendary ‘Alive’ tour and ‘Alive’ 2007 album”.

Players will also discover furniture inside the game, designed by long-term Daft Punk collaborator and creative director Cédric Hervet of Hervet Manufacturier.

A Daft Punk Bundle will also be available in the Fortnite shop, featuring collectible items such as the robots’ GM08 helmets, outfits, instruments, and accessories.

Yesterday, The Weeknd (aka Abel Tesfaye) shared a teaser of the new experience on Instagram, alluding that he may also appear as a special guest.

You can access the Daft Punk Experience in Fortnite’s Discover from 2:PM ET on Saturday, September 27. Find out more details here.
