Fortnite teases collab with vocaloid Hatsune Miku - expect a concert, a pickaxe and skin

Fortnite is gearing up for a visit from a very special guest: Hatsune Miku! Social media chatter hints at a potential collaboration, piquing player interest.

The Fortnite Festival account playfully claimed possession of Miku's backpack, while Miku's official account launched a humorous search for the missing item. This lighthearted exchange suggests a collaboration beyond just a standard skin and virtual concert. Expect to see a unique pickaxe and a "Miku the Catgirl" skin as well.

Mark your calendars! The anticipated launch date is January 14th.

Separately, a reminder about fair play: In late December, professional Fortnite player Seb Araujo was accused of using cheat software (aimbot and wallhacks) to gain an unfair advantage and win thousands of dollars in prize money. Epic Games' lawsuit alleges Araujo's actions deprived legitimate competitors of a fair chance to win.
