Fortnite Update 37.31 September Daft Punk Event Festival Party Mode

Fortnite’s 37.31 update unleashes a Daft Punk event, Festival Party Mode, and fresh twists that pulse with electronic energy.

Alongside that, several weapons were unvaulted, and players got a chance to earn a free Victory Umbrella by winning a Delulu match. Despite its proximity-chat-filled chaos, even Epic boss Tim Sweeney managed to secure a dub by purely being a pacifist and engaging in a heal-off.

However, the big news this week is the upcoming Daft Punk Experience concert that has both fans of the French duo and Fortnite players excited. So ahead of the event, Epic has deployed a maintenance patch that adds files for the event alongside some interesting new content. Here are the full patch notes.

Epic Games also refined matchmaking, adjusted weapon balance, and added new emotes linked to the Daft Punk Experience, giving players fresh ways to enjoy the season’s events.

Daft Punk Experience This Weekend

Delulu Returns This Weekend With Squad Wins Enabled

Fortnite Delulu will return on September 26 until September 29 for yet another chaotic weekend.

This comes in after players expressed the challenges of winning the Crashbrella Victory Umbrella, which seemed near impossible for some. Players also found several tricks to bypass solo wins to get the glider, but a heal-off emerged as the only viable tactic to many.

New Festival Party Royale Mode
