Fortnite is gearing up for a visit from a multitude of artists and performers, and it looks like a collaboration with the popular Vocaloid, Hatsune Miku, is on the horizon. Recent social media interactions have piqued player interest.
The official Fortnite Festival account playfully claimed possession of Miku's backpack, while Hatsune Miku's account conversely reported its disappearance, prompting a playful search. Beyond a standard Miku skin and a virtual concert, leaks suggest additional cosmetic items are planned, including a unique pickaxe and a "Miku the Catgirl" skin variant.
The anticipated launch date is set for January 14th.
Separately, a reminder about fair play: In late December, professional Fortnite player Seb Araujo was accused of gaining an unfair advantage using cheat software, including aimbots and wallhacks. Epic Games alleges Araujo leveraged these cheats to win thousands of dollars in prize money, effectively denying legitimate competitors a fair chance at victory.
