Developer Epic Games announced the collaboration on Monday in an official announcement Fortnite blog. The Hatsune Miku and Fortnite Festival collaboration will begin on January 14th and run until April 8th. The promotion will bring several Miku-themed items to the Fortnite Shop and the Music Pass, a special battle pass for the Fortnite Festival.
The main cosmetic items included in the Music Pass include two different Hatsune Miku outfits: Neko Hatsune Miku Outfit and Brite Hatsune Miku Style. Neko gives Miku adorable pink cat ears, while Brite’s style is inspired by Brite Bomber and Fortnite battle royale‘s Supply Lama. The Music Pass can be purchased separately for 1,400 V-Bucks or through the Fortnite Crew subscription.
If you don’t want to level up the battle pass, other Miku themed items can be bought in sets from the item shop. The main one will include Mika in her standard outfit along with other cosmetic items such as a themed back badge and Emotes. Best of all, it has a jam track for “Miku” by Anamanaguti and Miku, so you can rock out to her anthem.
Since her first debut in 2007, electronic artists around the world have used a generated voice known as Hatsune Miku to allow her to perform in their songs. The character grew into an internationally popular artist who toured the US and performed at Coachella. She has also inspired memes and viral internet trends and collaborated with Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering.
