When is Hatsune Miku coming to Fortnite?

The roster of playable characters in Fortnite is constantly growing, so there’s always a chance your favorite icon could be in the works for a future update. Hatsune Miku is one highly popular icon many players have been hoping would be added for quite a long time.

The iconic Vocaloid singer fits the style of Fortnite rather well, but she hasn’t made an official appearance so far. This will be changing soon, so here’s what you need to know about when Hatsune Miku is coming to Fortnite.

When does Hatsune Miku come to Fortnite?

Based on a teaser shared by the official Hatsune Miku X (formerly Twitter) account and the Fortnite Festival account, Hatsune Miku will be arriving on Jan. 14 as the next featured artist. She’ll be taking over the Fortnite Festival main stage from Snoop Dogg, and her arrival should also bring an entire festival pass packed with fresh content.

The official teaser first starts with Hatsune Miku’s account asking if anyone has seen her missing backpack. The Fortnite Festival page responded letting her know it’s being held backstage for her which is a teaser for her debut. This exchange is also a reference to the special Hatsune Miku backpack Easter egg you can currently find on the island.

Before her debut was hinted at, Hatsune Miku had been speculated to be arriving by the leak community for quite some time. Both Shiina and FNBRintel, who are two reputable and reliable members of the leak community, revealed on Dec. 8, 2024 that she would officially be joining Fortnite.

It’s always tricky to know whether leaks can be trustworthy, but the Fortnite leak community is generally accurate and reliable. Fortnite leakers have accurately announced lots of major collaborations far in advance, like the second wave of Spider-Verse Skins, Fortnitemares Skins like Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas and Jigsaw from Saw, and fresh Deadpool and Wolverine skins alongside the release of Deadpool & Wolverine.

Their track record is really strong, and the only time they end up being wrong is usually when Epic Games scraps something in the development stage. They ended up being exactly right about Hatsune Miku’s arrival, so although she’s not here yet, the other content they’ve shared surrounding her arrival is likely accurate too.

Will Hatsune Miku be a Fortnite Festival artist?

Hatsune Miku will be the next Fortnite Festival artist and is expected to arrive on Jan. 14. A precise release date and time haven’t been announced yet, but it should be on Jan. 14 since this is when the festival pass for the current featured artist, Snoop Dogg, ends. A new festival season always begins when the previous one ends, so as long as this pattern remains true, she’ll be debuting right after he leaves.

All Hatsune Miku Skins and content in Fortnite

None of the official skins or cosmetics for Hatsune Miku have been officially revealed yet, but several details about them have leaked. Since she’s going to be a featured Festival artist, she’ll get her own special pass packed with unique rewards you can claim.

All of the Hatsune Miku skins and other content that has been leaked so far are as follows.

• A classic Hatsune Miku skin obtainable through the festival pass.
• A Neko (Cat) Hatsune Miku skin in the item shop.
• Several jam tracks like “M@GICAL CURE! LOVE SHOT!,” “Daisy 2.0,” and “Miku.”
• Various accessory items like a microphone and back bling.

While you wait for Hatsune Miku’s official arrival, there’s plenty to tackle around the island in Fortnite. You might consider working on completing all Kendo’s Calling quests to claim XP or tracking down Bushranger to unlock the secret Nightshift Vault.
