Think about the first time you heard Around the World. The rush of One More Time. The way Get Lucky could light up a whole night. Daft Punk’s music isn’t just songs – it’s memories, moments, and pure magic. We were tasked with capturing that magic in a new experience mode for Fortnite Festivals. No big deal… right?
The Daft Punk Experience is a sonic and visual voyage through the minds of one of the most iconic and inspiring acts of the last 30 years. We brought it to life with multiple themed rooms, where players could remix music, battle robots, create a LEGO music video, and dance ‘til dawn.
It was an absolute privilege to bring this bold, one-of-a-kind project to life with Epic Games and Daft Life. We hope we did the fans proud, brought new players to the music, and had everyone humming, tapping, and singing along well after they logged off.
