Fortnite Hatsune Miku has been leaked and she looks… pretty rough
- Two Hatsune Miku Fortnite skins have been leaked ahead of their official reveals
- They are said to be available tomorrow
- One is part of the game’s Festival Pass, the other is in the Item Shop
Virtual pop star and Vocaloid synthesizer software icon Hatsune Miku is reportedly coming to Fortnite tomorrow in the form of two new skins. Both were leaked early via social media, but they look a little strange.
Images reportedly showing the upcoming Hatsune Miku x Fortnite cooperation is making the rounds on social media this morning. They suggest that two skins of the character will be added to the game tomorrow: Classic Miku and Neko Miku.
Classic Miku will apparently be available through the Item Shop and appears to depict Miku in her classic baby blue ensemble. In addition to being able to purchase the skin separately, the leaks indicate that it will be bundled with a cute Miku Back Bling backpack and a free course.
The Neko Miku skin will then be part of the Fortnite Festival Music Pass, a premium battle pass centering on the new spin-off rhythm game mode. If you’re keen to get your hands on this one, leaks indicate the season will end on April 8.
Additionally, it looks like there are at least three new instruments and a Jam Track for the song Magic remedy love shot! will also be added.
What did they do to her?
While I’m always up for a Hatsune Miku rep, I can’t pretend I’m not a little disappointed by the look of these skins so far. As you would expect, they use cel-shaded Fortnite anime art style that we’ve seen used for many other skins, but something about it just seems a little wrong.
She has a strange, almost blank look and her eyes not only seem too small to me, but also seem just a little too far apart. Overall, while they certainly don’t seem like the worst skins ever, I think they could easily be made a little cuter with a few subtle tweaks.
I think a design is more based on her appearance in the game Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Megamixwhich has a similar cel-shaded style would have been a much better choice and a more accurate representation of what she looks like overall.
I really hope so too Magic remedy love shot! is not the only Jam Track on the cards. There are tons of more iconic Miku songs available, such as The world is mine or Romeo and Cinderellawhich I would much rather play.
That said, I can’t pretend I won’t still immediately buy both this skin bundle and the Festival Pass if they do indeed drop according to current leaks. Fingers crossed that everything in the game looks better than in these leaked photos.
