Hatsune Miku is joining Fortnite on January 14th! Get ready to add two Miku skins to your collection – her classic look will be available in the item shop. Expect special cosmetics and music to accompany this exciting addition.
The virtual pop star's arrival marks another significant celebrity crossover for Fortnite, adding to its already impressive roster of iconic characters. Fortnite's monetization model, featuring seasonal battle passes and a vast catalog of skins, has been a key element of its success for years. This model has allowed the game to feature a diverse range of characters from various franchises, including DC, Marvel, and Star Wars.
A recently released trailer showcases Miku in Fortnite's Festival game mode. Leaks suggest 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 music-focused Festival mode, offer players a rhythm-game inspired experience alongside the battle royale action. Completing quests and objectives within the Festival Pass will unlock rewards, including the NEKO Miku skin.
Fortnite's Chapter 6 Season 1, themed "Hunters," already boasts a strong Japanese aesthetic, making Miku a perfect fit. The current season features Japanese-inspired elements, including long blades and Oni masks, creating visually stunning and intense battles. The excitement continues with the upcoming arrival of Godzilla. Hatsune Miku's addition further enhances the season's unique blend of anime-inspired style and action-packed gameplay.
