Recent leaks have suggested that Hatsune Miku may be coming to Fortnite as one part of a larger collaboration. The crossover has yet to be officially revealed, and even the details in the initial leak were relatively sparse. However, there are a few major takeaways that fans may be able to expect from Hatsune Miku's role in the upcoming Fortnite event.
In this case, the majority of speculation must be sourced directly from Miku's background. Thankfully, the many years since she was created have provided more than enough material. Likewise, some of Hatsune Miku's most important traits should synergize perfectly with some of Fortnite's main game modes.
Fortnite Leak Hints at Major Upcoming Crossover
A recent leak from Fortnite could potentially be teasing a major collaboration planned to hit the game during a future update.
Fortnite and Hatsune Miku Could Be a Match Made in Heaven
Hatsune Miku Could Bring Vocaloid Pop to Fortnite Festival
Only one short year ago, Fortnite introduced the Fortnite Festival game mode. Fortnite Festival strongly resembles band-based rhythm game franchises such as Rock Band and Guitar Hero, with the game mode even sharing some of the same developers as these beloved classics.
Fortnite Festival has succeeded in becoming its own thing, and now mostly exists as a way for friends to enjoy some more low-stakes time together. Hatsune Miku brings plenty of potential to this game mode, as she is one of the biggest pioneers of rhythm games herself. While her flavor of the genre is certainly different from Fortnite Festival's, that doesn't change the fact that her musical appeal is likely a huge reason she was selected in the first place.
Hatsune Miku is officially referred to as a Vocaloid, which can be most commonly understood as a voice synthesizer. This allows essentially anyone, called producers, to create their very own songs starring Hatsune Miku. Hatsune Miku making a splash in Fortnite Festival is a given, but that doesn't have to be the end. If Fortnite's Hatsune Miku collab wants to get as ambitious as possible, it could leverage her status as a Vocaloid to allow players to produce their own songs within the game itself.
Hatsune Miku Has Plenty of Friends to Bring Along to Fortnite
When crossover characters made it into Fortnite in years past, they very rarely came alone. Hatsune Miku has been highly requested for a long time and enjoys a broad range of popularity, so it's easy to imagine she might receive a similar scale of dedication. Not only does this mean back bling and the like, but it should hopefully also mean Miku gets to bring a few friends along.
Hatsune Miku's supporting cast is relatively large, but there are some standouts as far as a potential crossover is concerned. Kagamine Rin and Len are the most likely candidates if multiple Vocaloids manage to make it into Fortnite, given the twins currently have the strongest connection with Miku herself. However, fans should take this idea with a grain of salt, as it's possible that whatever agreement was reached to include Hatsune Miku doesn't extend beyond her.
Hatsune Miku has existed for nearly 20 years now and has been featured in countless songs since then. That and her numerous other collaborations provide plenty of material for Fortnite to take inspiration from. Likewise, it has already begun to generate a lot of excitement among Hatsune Miku fans in particular. Players have already begun to draw meme comparisons between Hatsune Miku and the recent addition of Godzilla in Fortnite, meaning it's only a matter of time before the pop star's true potential is revealed.
