Hatsune Miku costumes and special items
The main new feature is the Hatsune Miku Neko outfit, with customization options inspired by the LEGO universe and Fortnite itself. Progression in the Music Pass unlocks Miku's Colorful Style, which blends futuristic elements with the game's classic look.
The Pass also offers accessories such as the Keytar and the Miku Neko Guitar, available in alternative colors. Other standout items include the Electric Shamisen Bass, the Rhythmic Rest Emote, and the Paper Lantern Aura accessory, ensuring a vibrant experience for players.
However, for those looking for more, the Hatsune Miku Bundle and the Hatsune Miku Cyclone Bundle bring additional outfits, exclusive gestures, and even stickers to customize vehicles in the game.
Local multiplayer and new musical experiences from the Fortnite Festival
Local multiplayer is another big draw this season. Available for Xbox and PlayStation, it allows up to four players to share a match on the same console. To participate, everyone must have active accounts on Epic Games and the platform.
In addition, new modes have been introduced to the Battle Stage. They focus on specific parts of the songs, such as drums, vocals, bass, or rhythm section, offering more dynamic and balanced challenges.
Epic Games has also implemented changes to the scoring system, emphasizing accuracy in musical segments. These new features aim to enhance interaction between players as they immerse themselves in the soundscape of Fortnite.
Free and premium rewards at the Fortnite Festival
This season's Music Pass features unique rewards. Among the free items, highlights include the Estilhasom Guitar and licensed music such as "Not Without a Fight" and tracks from games like DropMix and FUSER . Those who already owned the track "Fight Until the End" will receive an equivalent refund in V-Bucks.
Premium rewards include songs like "World Is Mine" by Hatsune Miku herself, and hits from artists such as Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez. In addition, gestures and back accessories inspired by the virtual artist make the package even more complete.
Monetization and content creation
Content creators should be aware of the new monetization rules. During the first seven days of the season, licensed music can be used without penalty. After this period, the rights holders will be able to claim revenue from the videos.
Those who are part of the Support-A-Creator (AuC) program can link their accounts to avoid problems. However, Twitch creators need to disable clips and VoDs to prevent copyright infringement.
With these new features, Fortnite reaffirms its position as one of the most dynamic games on the market, while celebrating pop culture with the presence of Hatsune Miku. Season 7 of the Festival promises to be a landmark for fans of music and games.
