The arrival of Hatsune Miku to “Fortnite” has revolutionized the community of players and fans of the popular video game. According to data from the Fortnite.gg sitewhere users can vote for their favorite skins, Hatsune Miku’s skin has been crowned the most popular in the gamesurpassing iconic collaborations like Kong, Lara Croft and even Mechagodzilla. With 82.97% approval (at the time of writing), the Japanese virtual diva has proven that her cultural impact has no borders.
Hatsune Miku, created in 2007 by Crypton Future Media, is more than just a “virtual singer.” He represents a revolution in the way music is created and consumed, being the most recognizable face of Vocaloid software. From humble beginnings, it has grown to become a global icon with a loyal community of fans spanning all ages. The collaboration with Fortnite not only celebrates his legacy, but also introduces the character to a new generation of players.
The community comments reflect the excitement and nostalgia that this collaboration has generated. One fan declared: “As someone who grew up with Miku since her first appearance in 2007, this makes me very excited <3”. Meanwhile, others celebrate the surreal combination of characters that Fortnite makes possible: “If you had told me that Peter Griffin, Hatsune Miku, Doom Guy and Godzilla would form a squad in Fortnite 5 years ago, I would have laughed at you”.
However, the addition of Hatsune Miku has not been without constructive criticism. Some players have pointed out that the skin model does not accurately represent the character. Comments like “Man, I love Miku, but you can’t tell me they didn’t do that model some justice” and “His head seems a little small” reflect the expectations of a passionate and demanding community.
Despite this, most players are delighted with the opportunity to play as Miku. “I don’t play Fortnite, but I’m tempted to download it and buy this skin, just in case”said one fan. Others celebrated the relatively affordable price of the skin, humorously commenting: “Honestly, it’s the cheapest a Hatsune Miku fan can afford without breaking the bank.”.
Hatsune Miku’s impact on “Fortnite” has also opened educational debates. Many young players who are unaware of its history have confused it with a modern artificial intelligence, which has led older fans to explain its true origin. “Miku is not an AI like ChatGPT or automatically generated songs. Your voice is used by real people to create original music that takes time and effort”explained one player.
