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 collaboration brings two Miku skins – her classic look and a NEKO variant – along with themed cosmetics and music.
The popular battle royale continues its tradition of featuring famous faces and fictional characters, expanding its ever-growing roster. This follows a pattern of incorporating celebrities and icons from various franchises, including DC, Marvel, and Star Wars. Miku's arrival aligns perfectly with Fortnite's current season, which draws heavily from Japanese aesthetics.
A recently released trailer showcases Miku in action within Fortnite's Festival game mode. The classic Miku skin will be available in the item shop, while the NEKO Miku skin will be a reward within a new Festival Pass. These passes, part of Fortnite's rhythm-based Festival mode, offer players the chance to earn rewards by completing quests and challenges.
This exciting addition reflects Fortnite's ongoing commitment to innovative collaborations and diverse character representation. Miku, a real-life and fictional sensation, seamlessly blends with the game's current Japanese-inspired theme and adds another layer to the already vibrant Fortnite universe. The current season, titled "Hunters," features Japanese-inspired elements, including long blades and Oni masks, creating a unique and visually stunning battle experience. The fun doesn't stop there, with Godzilla's arrival also slated for the near future.
