After her visit to Paris last October during the Miku Expo 2024 tour, Hatsune Miku is now coming to our consoles and PC. Source of memes for some, real idol for others, the virtual singer from Yamaha Vocaloid is a true cultural phenomenon that needs no introduction. This popularity has even made him one of the most requested characters on Fortnite. Rumors regarding its inclusion in the battle royale have been recurring for several years now, but the wait is coming to an end. The leaks of the last few days have pushed Epic Games to formalize the collaboration via an exchange of messages that is improbable to say the least.
Hatsune Miku’s X account first launched a wanted notice concerning the virtual singer’s backpack, to which Fortnite Festival replied “I found it, so I’m keeping it? Don’t worry, we’ll keep it for you backstage“. We had to wait until the day before the launch of the festivities for Epic to reveal the details of this unexpected collaboration. Here’s everything you need to know about the arrival of the Vocaloid in the battle royale.

Don’t worry, we’ll hold it for you backstage 🤭

The character’s classic appearance will be available for purchase in the store, which will also offer a microphone and two backpacks to complete the character’s outfit. Regarding the tracks included in this collaboration, only “M@GICAL CURE! LOVE SHOT!” has been officially revealed by Epic Games. According to the leaks, “Miku“ et “Daisy 2.0“ will also be there. The absence of classics such as “PooPoo“, “Tell Your World” or “World is Mine” seems strange, but it is not impossible that these will appear later. Especially since the first three songs are among Miku’s most recent hits, and are therefore more likely to resonate with the young community of Fortnite.

Still according to rumors, the Korean group NewJeans was expected to be one of the next faces of the Fortnite Festival, but no one yet knows if the collaboration has been postponed or simply canceled. For now, Miku is in the spotlight, even in the cosmetics of the Club Fortnite subscription for the month of January. Indeed, the skin of the month – Durr Taisho – comes with a pickaxe in the shape of a Japanese spring onion, a key Vocaloid accessory in the song “Ievan Polka“.
