Fortnite teases collab with vocaloid Hatsune Miku - expect a concert, a pickaxe and skin

Fortnite is gearing up for a major collaboration with Hatsune Miku! Social media hints suggest a potential in-game appearance, possibly including more than just a skin. The Fortnite Festival account playfully claims possession of Miku's backpack, while Miku's official account reports it missing, sparking excitement among players. Rumored additions include a unique pickaxe and a "Miku the Catgirl" skin variant, alongside a potential virtual concert. The anticipated launch date is January 14th.

Separately, a recent incident involving professional Fortnite player Seb Araujo highlights the ongoing battle against cheating. Araujo allegedly used aimbot and wallhacks in a late December tournament, gaining an unfair advantage and winning thousands of dollars in prize money, according to Epic Games' lawsuit. The suit alleges this gave Araujo an insurmountable advantage over other players who followed the rules.
