Fortnite teases collab with vocaloid Hatsune Miku - expect a concert, a pickaxe and skin

Fortnite is gearing up for a major collaboration with 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 a missing backpack, adding to the excitement.

Rumors point to a full Vocaloid skin, a virtual concert, a unique pickaxe, and even a "Miku the Catgirl" skin variant. The anticipated launch date is January 14th.

Separately, professional Fortnite player Seb Araujo recently faced repercussions for using cheat software (aimbot and wallhacks) in a late December tournament. Epic Games alleges this gave him an unfair advantage, resulting in substantial prize winnings that would have otherwise gone to legitimate competitors. The lawsuit highlights the impact of cheating on fair play and competitive integrity.
