Summary

  • Fortnite is heavily rumored to be featuring an upcoming collaboration with Hatsune Miku, according to recent leaks from the battle royale.
  • No specifics were given about the Fortnite crossover, though there is the potential for both new skins and in-game musical performances from the Miku event.
  • Fortnite looks to have several new crossovers on the way for the game alongside Hatsune Miku, including Unreal Tournament and Demon Slayer.

A new leak from Fortnite is suggesting that the battle royale will be featuring a major crossover with Hatsune Miku in the near future. The massively popular battle royale from Epic Games has become known since its early days for its wealth of crossovers, including skins, cosmetics, and events from a variety of beloved pop culture franchises. The recent launch of the game's Chapter 6 Season 1 introduced the highly-anticipated Godzilla crossover, with more skins coming soon based on Spider-Man and Unreal Tournament. Now, Fortnite's next collaboration is set to be a big one.

Japanese media has often been a popular source of crossovers for Fortnite with anime and game franchises serving as some of the game's most popular collaborations. Anime series like My Hero Academia and Dragon Ball Z have introduced unique weapons based on the franchises, featuring everything from Deku's "Smash" attacks to the Kamehameha. Leaks from the game have also heavily suggested that Fortnite will soon be collaborating with Demon Slayer, likely featuring new skins based on characters like Tanjiro and Nezuko. Now, one of Japan's most recognizable properties is rumored to be coming to Fortnite.

A recent update shared by prominent Fortnite leaker HYPEX via fellow leakers ShiinaBR and FNBRintel is hinting at Hatsune Miku coming to Fortnite. The leak does not share any specifics about the Hatsune Miku event, though skins based on Miku and potentially other characters like Kagamine Rin and Kagamine Len are expected to be included. A Miku collaboration could also potentially feature a musical performance in Fortnite, much like past crossovers with musical artists. A release window was not given for Fortnite's upcoming crossover with Hatsune Miku.

The potential for a Hatsune Miku collaboration has plenty of precedent for new content that could potentially be featured in Fortnite. The crossover could see Hatsune Miku songs added to Fortnite Festival, with a wealth of official songs and fan-made music available for the rhythm game. Fortnite's recent rapper-focused event also included a massive in-game tribute to musical artist JUICE WRLD, both featuring an in-game "POI" and a live performance including footage of past performances.

Fortnite's next big crossover comes as the Epic Games battle royale has revealed plenty of new content throughout recent weeks. Epic Games officially unveiled "Ballistic" late last week as the rumored 5v5 tactical shooter game mode, shifting the game into a first-person perspective with similar gameplay to games like Counter-Strike. "Fortnite OG" also recently debuted as a callback to the game's beginning, making the game's Chapter 1 Season 1 map available for fans. Fortnite's future looks as bright as ever with new game modes seeing major success and more major crossovers on the way.
