One of the most anticipated collabs is finally coming to Battle Royale, a Fortnite Hatsune Miku skin! The vocaloid character has long been one of the most suggested, fitting Fortnite’s metaverse pretty well. According to leakers, she’s now officially in the works! What does it mean though and when will the skin actually release?
Since this collab has largely only shown up in one-sentence leaks so far, Fortnite news on this skin is a bit thin on the ground. However, we can make some educated guesses about what’s coming and when. Hatsune Miku has been one of the most requested skins, why is the character called for so often and what do we know?

Fortnite Hatsune Miku Skin Is Coming Soon
Fortnite leakers often announce major features in advance, from new collabs to fresh modes launching. While the list of Fortnite collabs is pretty long, there’s one name that players have wanted for a long time that’s just been confirmed by leakers. Apparently, a Fortnite Hatsune Miku is going to come soon.
Hatsune Miku is a vocaloid character, one first released in 2007. In that time, she’s become an iconic character across media, becoming much more than just a vocaloid software. Given the tendency for Hatsune Miku to show up everywhere, from groceries to games, she seems like a natural fit for Fortnite. However, it’s taken until Chapter 6 for the character to even show up in Fortnite leaks. At the moment, all we have to go off is confirmation from leakers that she’s in the works.
However, given that Miku is known for music there’s a couple of ways this could go. The first is a simple item store collab, where you can buy her skin. However, we could also see Hatsune Miku showing up in Fortnite Festival as a featured artist! That could definitely drive some extra Festival pass purchases compared to some offerings.
When Does Hatsune Miku Release?
We might not know too much about the Hatsune Miku skin, but according to leakers we have a release window. She’s due to arrive in-game in 2025! That’s as specific as we can get right now. Hopefully, the release comes sooner rather than later though.
