Fortnite is gearing up for a major collaboration with the popular Vocaloid, Hatsune Miku! Social media buzz suggests a potential in-game appearance, possibly including more than just a skin.
A playful exchange between the Fortnite Festival account and Hatsune Miku's official account hints at Miku's backpack going missing. This playful interaction has fueled speculation amongst players. Rumored additions beyond the standard skin and a virtual concert include a unique pickaxe and a "Miku the Catgirl" skin variant.
The anticipated launch date is set for January 14th.
Separately, Epic Games is pursuing legal action against professional Fortnite player Seb Araujo for using cheat software, including aimbots and wallhacks, to gain an unfair advantage and win prize money in late December. The lawsuit alleges Araujo's actions deprived other players of a fair chance to compete.
