Hatsune Miku Teams Up with Fortnite for a Tuesday Launch

Epic Games recently shared some exciting news on the official Fortnite blog: a collaboration with Hatsune Miku that’s sure to thrill fans. Mark your calendars, as this partnership kicks off on January 14 and continues through April 8. During this period, players will find a bounty of Miku-themed goodies in the Fortnite Shop, as well as exclusively through the Music Pass, the unique battle pass designed for the Fortnite Festival.

Among the standout items in the Music Pass are two distinct Hatsune Miku outfits: Neko Hatsune Miku and Brite Hatsune Miku Style. Neko Miku is outfitted with charming pink cat ears, while the Brite variant takes cues from both the Brite Bomber design and the iconic Fortnite Battle Royale Supply Llama. For those eager to jump into this festive pass, it’s available solo for 1,400 V-Bucks, or bundled within the Fortnite Crew subscription.

No worries if the battle pass isn’t your style—there will be plenty of Miku-themed offerings available for purchase in the Item Shop as well. A key bundle includes Miku in her signature ensemble, with additional touches like themed back bling and emotes. An exciting feature of this pack is the inclusion of the track “Miku” by Anamanaguchi and Miku, letting players groove to her music while they play.

Since her debut back in 2007, Hatsune Miku’s digitally-created voice has captured the imagination of electronic artists worldwide, allowing her to feature in many tracks. Miku has evolved into an international phenomenon, having performed live across the U.S. and even at Coachella. She’s more than just a virtual pop star; she’s a cultural icon who has sparked memes, viral trends, and has even teamed up with big names like Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering.
