Fortnite just released a number of crossover items based on Tron.In the world of video games, Daft Punk appeared in 2009's DJ Hero, and offered up 11 original mixes featuring their music. I also can't help but think that Insomniac might have been a little bit inspired by Daft Punk's image when making the coolest costume in Spider-Man: Miles Morales:This costume is just Insomniac showing off, and I absolutely love it. pic.twitter.com/9Gd5TjpdTWJoe Skrebels (@2plus2isjoe) November 30, 2020Joe Skrebels is IGN's Executive Editor of News.
