Fortnite enthusiasts have a thrilling update to look forward to: the virtual sensation Hatsune Miku is set to make a grand entrance into the game. Social media buzz has been ignited by playful exchanges between the Fortnite Festival and Hatsune Miku accounts, hinting at an upcoming collaboration. The Fortnite Festival account teased fans by mentioning they have Miku's backpack, while Miku herself is on a quest to find it, engaging the community in a fun treasure hunt.
Beyond the excitement of a standard Vocaloid skin, fans can anticipate a virtual concert featuring Hatsune Miku, along with exclusive in-game items. These will include a uniquely designed pickaxe and a special "Miku the Catgirl" skin, adding to the allure of this crossover event. Mark your calendars for the anticipated premiere on January 14, when you can dive into the world of Fortnite and experience Miku's vibrant presence.
In other news, the integrity of competitive Fortnite has come under scrutiny following the actions of professional player Seb Araujo. In late December, Araujo was found using cheat software, including aimbotting and wallhacks, to gain an unfair advantage over other players. This misconduct allowed Araujo to win thousands of dollars in tournament prizes, undermining the fairness of the competition. Epic Games has condemned these actions, highlighting the disadvantage faced by rule-abiding competitors who were left with no real chance of winning against Araujo's cheating tactics.
