The Fortnite Festival has seemingly confirmed a highly anticipated collaboration with Hatsune Miku, generating significant excitement among fans. While Fortnite's social media presence is usually reserved regarding upcoming content, a recent exchange hints at Miku's imminent arrival.
Leaks point to a January 14th launch, featuring two Miku skins – a classic design potentially included with the Fortnite Festival Pass, and a "Neko Hatsune Miku" skin available in the Item Shop. The origin of the Neko design remains unconfirmed.
The collaboration is also expected to introduce new music tracks to Fortnite, including "Miku" by Anamanguchi and "Daisy 2.0 Feat. Hatsune Miku" by Ashniiko. This collaboration could significantly boost the popularity of the Fortnite Festival, a relatively newer game mode. The hope is that collaborations with major names like Hatsune Miku and previous collaborations with Snoop Dogg will elevate the Festival to the level of iconic music rhythm games such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
The confirmation seemingly came via a playful exchange on Twitter. The official Hatsune Miku account, managed by Crypton Future Media, tweeted about a missing backpack. The Fortnite Festival account responded, suggesting they had found it and were holding it "backstage." This cryptic yet suggestive response is considered confirmation by many. Leakers like ShiinaBR have further fueled speculation, aligning the potential launch date with the game's next update.
