Fortnite Teams Up with Virtual Pop Icon, Hatsune Miku

Hatsune Miku's Fortnite Debut: A Virtual Pop Star Arrives

Get ready, Fortnite fans! Hatsune Miku, the iconic virtual singer, is joining the battle royale on January 14th. This exciting collaboration brings two Miku skins – her classic look and a NEKO variant – along with themed cosmetics and music.

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, featured in Fortnite's rhythm-based Festival game mode, offer a blend of battle royale and music-game elements, rewarding players with skins and other items for completing challenges. This follows Fortnite's established pattern of incorporating popular characters and celebrities into its seasonal battle passes, a monetization strategy that has proven highly successful.

This collaboration is particularly fitting, given Fortnite's current Chapter 6 Season 1, "Hunters," which draws heavily from Japanese aesthetics. The addition of Miku, a globally recognized anime-inspired pop star, perfectly complements the season's theme and its recent focus on anime-style content. The timing also coincides with the upcoming arrival of Godzilla, further enhancing the season's exciting roster of guest characters. Miku's arrival promises to be a major highlight for fans of both Fortnite and the Vocaloid project.
