Fortnite Hatsune Miku crossover coming, leaks suggest

Fortnite will welcome Japanese virtual pop megastar Hatsune Miku in 2025, leaks suggest.

And yet, despite not existing IRL, Hatsune Miku is something of a cultural icon: the voice of hundreds of thousands of songs, star of virtual concerts, and playable in several video games. Originally launched in 2017, the Hatsune Miku "Vocaloid" software is based on samples from a real-world actress - anime and video game voice artist Saki Fujita. But Hatsune Miku's anime-inspired appearance and concept is one of an "android diva" from a "near-future world where songs are lost", according to creator Crypton Future Media.
