You don’t need to be a gamer to experience Daft Punk’s latest visual masterpiece. The legendary French electronic duo has just released a stunning new music video for their 2013 hit “Contact”, and it’s taking fans on a futuristic journey like never before.
Originally featured as part of their in-game Fortnite event, the video brings together Daft Punk’s iconic sound and Epic Games’ immersive world-building in a way that blurs the line between music and digital art.
In September, Fortnite hosted an exclusive Daft Punk experience that transported players into a custom-designed realm filled with neon landscapes, cosmic visuals, and tracks spanning the duo’s entire career. It wasn’t just a game — it was a celebration of Daft Punk’s unmatched legacy in electronic music.
Now, that digital world has been transformed into a full-fledged music video for “Contact,” the closing track from their Grammy-winning album Random Access Memories. Fans can relive the breathtaking visuals and hunt for hidden easter eggs that reference every era of Daft Punk’s evolution, from the raw house energy of “Homework” to the sleek futurism of “Discovery” and the cinematic depth of “RAM.”
Even if you’ve never touched Fortnite, this video is a must-watch. It captures everything that made Daft Punk so unique — their ability to blend technology, mystery, and emotion into something deeply human.
While the release has sparked rumors of a potential reunion, there’s no official comeback just yet. Still, both members remain active in their own creative worlds. Thomas Bangalter recently made a surprise DJ appearance at Paris’ Pompidou Centre alongside Fred again.., Busy P, and Erol Alkan, marking his first public performance since 2017. Meanwhile, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo is rumored to be working on a solo album and even contributed to Rosalía’s new album LUX.
The “Contact” video stands as another reminder of why Daft Punk’s influence continues to echo across music, gaming, and culture. Their legacy is not just alive — it’s evolving.
