Fortnite Teams Up With Hatsune Miku for Epic Collaboration

Fortnite Welcomes Hatsune Miku: A Virtual Pop Star Joins the Battle

Get ready, Fortnite fans! Hatsune Miku, the iconic virtual singer, is making her debut in Fortnite on January 14th. This exciting addition brings two Miku skins – her classic look, available in the item shop, and a NEKO Miku skin, part of a new Festival Pass. Expect accompanying themed cosmetics and music to complete the experience.

Fortnite's ongoing success is partly due to its clever monetization strategy, featuring a rotating roster of celebrity and fictional characters within its seasonal battle passes. Past seasons have showcased iconic figures from Marvel, DC, and Star Wars, and now Miku joins this impressive lineup. Her arrival perfectly complements the current Chapter 6 Season 1 theme, heavily influenced by Japanese aesthetics.

A recently released trailer showcases Miku in Fortnite's Festival game mode, a rhythm-based gameplay experience. The classic Miku skin will be available for purchase individually in the item shop, while the NEKO Miku skin is exclusively part of the Festival Pass. This pass, similar to the standard battle pass, offers rewards for completing in-game challenges.

This collaboration is a significant event, blending the real-world popularity of Hatsune Miku with Fortnite's vibrant and ever-evolving world. The 16-year-old anime-inspired pop star, the face of Crypton Future Media's Vocaloid project, is a perfect fit for the game's current Japanese-inspired season, which also features elements like long blades and Oni masks. The fun doesn't stop there; Godzilla is also slated to appear in Fortnite soon. The current season promises a thrilling continuation of exciting content and collaborations.
