Easily one of the most anticipated collaborations in Fortnite history, the arrival of Hatsune Miku has finally electrified the battle royale. The iconic virtual singer has made her debut, bringing with her a dazzling array of cosmetics, including a reactive skin, back blings, emotes, and music packs.
Miku’s arrival has ignited a frenzy of excitement within the Fortnite community, and as a result, pretty much everyone is buzzing about her impending appearance. In terms of options, two main packs are available:
- The Premium Pack (3,200 V-Bucks): Includes nine items, featuring the main Miku skin (with a reactive style) and other cosmetic goodies. The skin can also be purchased separately for 1,500 V-Bucks.
- The Music Pass (1,400 V-Bucks): Offers ten unlockable rewards, including an alternate outfit for Miku.
Why is Hatsune Miku Such a Big Deal?
Hatsune Miku is an internet legend. Born in 2007 as a Vocaloid software, she has transcended the digital realm, performing holographic concerts for massive audiences worldwide. This long-standing popularity, coupled with her unique origins, makes her a perfect fit for the metaverse-aspiring Fortnite.
Furthermore, Miku seamlessly aligns with the current Japanese-themed season, which has already featured iconic figures like Godzilla, King Kong, Big Hero 6, and Cyberpunk 2077. Her presence in Fortnite Festival as a music star further solidifies her place within the game’s narrative.
A Potential Milestone for the Metaverse
This collaboration signifies a significant step towards Fortnite’s metaverse ambitions. By partnering with a pioneering figure in the digital entertainment space, Epic Games demonstrates its commitment to embracing and celebrating the evolution of online culture.
While acquiring all of Miku’s offerings will set players back a hefty 4,600 V-Bucks, her popularity suggests that she will be a significant revenue generator for Epic.
