Fortnite enthusiasts are buzzing with excitement following hints of a potential collaboration between Fortnite Festival and Hatsune Miku, a globally recognized virtual pop star. Leaked information suggests that Miku is scheduled to join the game on January 14, bringing along two distinct skins—one showcasing her iconic outfit and another themed as a "Neko Hatsune Miku"—as well as new tracks, including songs by Anamanguchi and Ashniiko. This crossover has sparked hope among players that Fortnite Festival can achieve greater popularity, much like the iconic Guitar Hero and Rock Band series.
While the official Fortnite accounts are typically tight-lipped regarding upcoming collaborations, recent cryptic posts from both the Fortnite Festival Twitter handle and the official Hatsune Miku account seem to confirm the collaboration. The latter posted about Miku's missing backpack, prompting a reply from Fortnite Festival indicating they’re holding it "backstage" for her—a subtle nod to her impending arrival.
The introduction of Miku is anticipated to breathe new life into Fortnite Festival, a relatively recent addition to the Fortnite ecosystem. By aligning with major franchises and figures, such as Snoop Dogg and now Hatsune Miku, Fortnite aims to elevate its festival mode and attract fans who appreciate innovative crossovers.
