Hatsune Miku x Fortnite collab: Release date and what we know

Hatsune Miku is reportedly coming to Fortnite soon. According to reputable leaks, the digital pop star could be the Fortnite Festival Season 7 headlining act, beginning in Jan. 2025.

While unconfirmed by Epic Games, the evidence and sources are credible, with a formal announcement expected to follow soon. Here’s what we know about the rumored Hatsune Miku x Fortnite partnership. 

The intel arrived via ShiinaBR and FNBRintel, two sources with reliable track records. Unfortunately, the details of this collaboration remain ambiguous. Since Hatsune Miku is a musical character, we can assume that this will occur primarily in Fortnite’s Guitar Hero-inspired Festival game mode. 

This report contradicts the rumored Fortnite x NewJeans partnership, which reports indicated would occur in Season 7 of Fortnite Festival. Epic Games may have delayed this collaboration or scrapped it entirely. We expect to hear more about this developing story in the coming days. 

Hatsune Miku, occasionally referred to as Miku Hatsune, is a 16-year-old digital pop star from Japan. She is derived from a software called Vocaloid. She sports a traditional anime appearance and can perform songs made by fans. Originally released in 2007, Hatsune Miku has become a Japanese icon, performing live as a hologram. 

Users of the Vocaloid software can input lyrics and melodies and turn them into music. Thousands of fan-made tracks exist online and elsewhere, allowing you to choose what suits your musical preference. 

Hatsune Miku gained more recognition stateside following her appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman in 2014, where she performed the song “Sharing the World” to a live studio audience. 

While we don’t know the full extent of the Hatsune Miku x Fortnite collaboration, these leaks indicate it will happen in 2025. More details should emerge soon.
