Hatsune Miku is coming to Fortnite! The popular virtual singer will debut in the game on January 14th. Get ready to add two Miku skins to your collection: her classic look, available in the item shop, and a NEKO Miku skin, part of a new Festival Pass.
This isn't just about skins; expect special cosmetics and music to enhance the experience. Miku's arrival continues Fortnite's tradition of featuring iconic celebrities and fictional characters. Previous seasons have showcased heroes and villains from DC and Marvel, and even Star Wars. Miku perfectly complements the current Chapter 6 Season 1, "Hunters," which draws heavily from Japanese aesthetics.
A recently released trailer showcases Miku in Fortnite's Festival game mode. This mode blends battle royale action with rhythm-based gameplay, similar to Rock Band or Guitar Hero. The Festival Pass, offering the NEKO Miku skin, works like the regular battle pass, rewarding players for completing quests.
Miku's addition is significant, blending real-life stardom with fictional appeal. As the face of Crypton Future Media's Vocaloid project, she's featured in countless songs and aligns perfectly with Fortnite's recent anime-inspired designs and the current Japan-themed season. With Godzilla also slated to appear soon, Season 1 promises a thrilling lineup of guest characters.
