Hatsune Miku costumes and special items
The main new addition is the Hatsune Miku Neko costume, with customization options inspired by the LEGO universe and Fortnite itself. Progressing through the Music Pass unlocks Miku's Colorful Style, which blends futuristic elements with the game's classic look.
The Pass also offers accessories like the Keytar and the Miku Neko Guitar, available in alternative colors. Other notable items include the Electric Shamisen Bass, the Rhythmic Rest Emote, and the Aura Paper Lantern 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 costumes, exclusive gestures and even stickers to customize vehicles in the game.
Fortnite Festival Local Multiplayer and New Music Experiences
Local multiplayer is another big attraction 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 Epic Games and platform accounts.
Additionally, new Battle Stage modes have been introduced. These focus on specific song sections, such as drums, vocals, bass, or rhythm, offering more dynamic and balanced challenges.
Epic Games has also implemented changes to the scoring system, placing a premium on precision in musical excerpts. These changes aim to enhance player interaction as they immerse themselves in Fortnite's sonic universe.
Free and Premium Rewards at Fortnite Festival
This season's Music Pass features unique rewards. Among the free items are the Estilhasom Guitar and licensed songs, such as "Not Without a Fight," and tracks from games like DropMix and FUSER . Those who already own the track "Fight to the End" will receive a V-Bucks refund.
Premium rewards include songs like "World Is Mine" by Hatsune Miku herself, and hits by artists like Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez. Additionally, 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, copyright owners can claim revenue from the videos.
Those who are part of the Support-A-Creator (Support-A-Creator) program can link their accounts to avoid issues. However, Twitch creators must 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 also celebrating pop culture with the presence of Hatsune Miku. Season 7 of the Festival promises to be a milestone for music and gaming fans.
