Hatsune Miku is coming to Fortnite! The virtual pop star will debut on January 14th, bringing her iconic style to the battle royale.
Two Miku skins are planned: her classic look, available in the item shop, and a NEKO Miku skin, part of a new Festival Pass. This pass, tied to Fortnite's rhythm-based Festival game mode, offers additional cosmetics and music. Miku joins a roster of celebrities and fictional characters already featured in Fortnite, reflecting the game's diverse and ever-expanding content.
Fortnite's monetization, centered around seasonal battle passes, has proven highly successful, consistently adding popular figures from various franchises. Recent seasons have included DC and Marvel heroes, and Star Wars characters. Miku's inclusion aligns perfectly with the current Chapter 6 Season 1, "Hunters," which features a strong Japanese aesthetic. This theme complements Miku's anime-inspired design and her status as the face of the Vocaloid project.
The addition of Miku, a real-life and fictional sensation, enhances Fortnite's appeal. Her presence adds to the ongoing excitement of Season 1, which also includes new items, gameplay adjustments, and the upcoming arrival of Godzilla. The combination of Miku's popularity and Fortnite's current Japanese-inspired theme promises an engaging and visually stunning in-game experience.
