Fortnite Reveals Hatsune Miku Collab

Hatsune Miku is joining Fortnite on January 14th! Get ready to add two Miku skins to your collection, featuring her iconic look, available in the item shop. Expect special cosmetics and music to accompany this exciting addition.

This virtual pop star's arrival in Fortnite marks another significant crossover for the popular battle royale game. Fortnite's monetization model, centered around seasonal battle passes, has consistently delivered a diverse roster of celebrities and fictional characters. Previous seasons have showcased iconic figures from DC, Marvel, and Star Wars, and now Miku joins this impressive lineup.

A recent trailer, shared by leaker HYPEX, showcases Miku in Fortnite's Festival game mode. The classic Miku skin will be available in the item shop, while the NEKO Miku skin will be part of a new Festival Pass. These passes, tied to Fortnite's rhythm-based Festival game mode, offer players quests and objectives to unlock rewards, including skins.

This collaboration is a particularly exciting addition given Miku's unique status as both a real-life sensation and a fictional character. The 16-year-old anime-inspired pop star, the face of Crypton Future Media's Vocaloid project, perfectly complements Fortnite's recent anime-influenced aesthetic and the current Chapter 6 Season 1, "Hunters," theme, which draws heavily from Japanese aesthetics. This season already features katana blades and Oni masks, creating intense, cinematic battles. And the fun doesn't stop there – Godzilla is also slated to make his Fortnite debut soon!
