A reliable leaker has reported that Japanese virtual singer Kasane Teto will enter Fortnite soon. Here’s what we know!
Mere months after Hatsune Miku took over Fortnite via the game's music-based 'Festival' game mode, another virtual singer may follow in her footsteps. According to a leaker, Kasane Teto will join Fortnite "soon" to further bolster the game's roster in that genre.
Unfortunately, the information is minimal at this point, but the source is one of the more reliable in the scene. Here's everything we know about the Kasane Teto x Fortnite collaboration.
Kasane Teto will join Fortnite's roster "soon"
ShiinaBR was the first to report this crossover to an ovation of 2 million views and 36K likes on X. That alone should tell you that the anticipation for Kasane Teto is incredibly high. However, the dreaded word "soon" is present here, which could mean anything.
We've seen similar reports from leakers in the past that took multiple months to surface finally. Regardless, given Shiina's track record, it's safe to assume this is an accurate report. One possibility is that the Kasane Teto partnership could be Fortnite Festival-related.
Hatsune Miku headlined the seventh season of Festival, and it was one of the more well-received collaborations. Considering that Kasane Teto is of a similar ilk, it would be in Fortnite's best interest to capitalize similarly.
Who is this character and why is she so popular?
The potential Kasane Teto collab has both fans of Fortnite and fans of the character eager for it to drop, but who is she? As mentioned earlier, Kasane Teto is a virtual singer who originated on the Japanese textboard 2channel in 2008.
She has appeared alongside Hatsune Miku on the PlayStation 3 game Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F as a DLC offering. From an accolades perspective, Kasane Teto holds several nominations for Best Vocaloid Culture Song at the Music Awards Japan.
Additionally, she enjoyed success as part of many YouTube music videos, including Override by Yoshida Yasei. Based on the millions of views she has garnered on YouTube, Epic Games made the smart call. Although this collaboration might not appeal to Fortnite's dedicated fanbase, it will bring more attention.
We've learned over time that Fortnite caters to fans of all artists, cartoons, movies, and the seemingly endless list of IPs. More details should emerge in due time, especially with the next Fortnite season and chapter on the horizon.
