Star Trek x Kid Cudi: Boldly Be is a collaborative campaign by Star Trek and Kid Cudi launched on 12 October 2023. The collaboration consists of three releases: the song "Heaven's Galaxy," a custom gaming experience in Fortnite and a line of clothing apparel.
Heaven's Galaxy[]
"Heaven's Galaxy" is a Star Trek-inspired song written and performed by Kid Cudi and produced by Dot da Genius. The lyrics make mention of "warp in over-drive," and other instances of less-specific space exploration imagery.
Mirror Mayhem[]

"Mirror Mayhem" (island code 0961-7139-1749) is a custom map and game mode created for Fortnite by Atlas Creative, uploaded to the game on 12 October 2023. [1] The game mode follows a story wherein the player aids Captain Skyles (Kid Cudi clad in a Starfleet uniform from Strange New Worlds) in defeating his evil Mirror universe counterpart (clad in a Terran Empire uniform from Discovery) on the planet Vada. Starfleet deltas feature as collectible items, and the transporter room of the USS Enterprise (modeled after Strange New Worlds) serves as the lobby for the game mode. "Heaven's Galaxy" is performed by Skyles within the game map, based on motion capture provided by Kid Cudi.
A second mode, "Star Trek Prop Hunt" (island code 9762-3452-3756), dubbed the "afterparty" to the main "concert" mode, allows players to further explore the Enterprise corridors, sickbay, mess hall and bridge.
While official content authorized by CBS Studios and Kid Cudi, the maps and game modes are not officially endorsed by Fortnite publisher Epic Games and are more akin to player-created customizations, albeit in this case ones uploaded by the official rights holders.
