This article discusses the upcoming addition of Hatsune Miku to Fortnite on January 14th. Two Miku skins, including her classic design, will be available. A new Festival Pass will offer the NEKO Miku skin, while the classic skin will be in the item shop. Additional Miku-themed cosmetics and music are also planned.
The inclusion of Miku aligns with Fortnite's established practice of featuring famous personalities and fictional characters in its seasonal battle passes. Past seasons have showcased characters from DC, Marvel, and Star Wars, demonstrating the game's diverse and expanding roster.
A recently released trailer showcases Miku within Fortnite's Festival game mode. This mode, inspired by rhythm games, allows players to earn rewards, including skins, by completing challenges. The NEKO Miku skin is specifically tied to this Festival Pass.
Hatsune Miku's addition is particularly noteworthy due to her status as both a real-world and fictional icon. The 16-year-old virtual singer, representing Crypton Future Media's Vocaloid project, has been featured in countless songs. Her anime-inspired style complements Fortnite's current aesthetic, especially given the Chapter 6 Season 1 theme, which draws heavily from Japanese culture.
Fortnite's Chapter 6 Season 1, titled "Hunters," introduces a Japanese-inspired world with new items and gameplay mechanics, including elemental Oni masks and long blades. The season will continue to expand with future additions, including the anticipated arrival of Godzilla.
