Fortnite Festival Seemingly Confirms Hatsune Miku Collaboration
Excitement is building among Fortnite fans as hints point towards a highly anticipated collaboration with Hatsune Miku. Leaks suggest Miku's arrival on January 14th, featuring two distinct skins and new music tracks. This collaboration could significantly boost the popularity of the Fortnite Festival mode.
While Fortnite's social media presence is usually tight-lipped about upcoming content, a recent exchange hints at the collaboration's confirmation. The Fortnite Festival Twitter account engaged with a Crypton Future Media (Hatsune Miku's owner) post about a missing backpack, cryptically implying they have it "backstage." This subtle interaction, unusual for the account's typical cryptic style, strongly suggests Miku's imminent arrival.
This seemingly confirmed collaboration has been anticipated for some time. The prospect of Miku in Fortnite, with its quirky collaborations, has generated considerable buzz. Reliable leakers, including ShiinaBR, predict a January 14th launch, aligning with the game's next update. Two skins are expected: Miku's classic outfit (included with the Fortnite Festival Pass) and a "Neko Hatsune Miku" variant (available in the Item Shop). The origin of the Neko design remains unconfirmed.
The collaboration is also expected to add several songs to the game, potentially including "Miku" by Anamanguchi and "Daisy 2.0 Feat. Hatsune Miku" by Ashniiko. This addition, coupled with Miku's appearance, could be the boost Fortnite Festival needs to rival the popularity of other Fortnite modes like Battle Royale, Rocket Racing, or LEGO Fortnite Odyssey. Some players hope it could even achieve the legendary status of Guitar Hero or Rock Band. Collaborations with major names like Snoop Dogg and now potentially Hatsune Miku are definitely steps in the right direction.
