Epic Games has officially confirmed that pop culture icon Hatsune Miku will appear in the upcoming Fortnite: “Zero Hour” live event. This highly anticipated finale wraps up the current storyline and promises a massive showdown.
Here is everything we know so far about the event and the characters involved.
Epic Games dropped a major clue yesterday, November 25. Developers added a special “Zero Hour” tab to the in-game Item Shop. Hatsune Miku rotated onto this tab, which directly confirms her appearance in the finale.
Furthermore, Epic Games suggests that the Item Shop will continue to rotate characters. This gives players daily clues about who will join the fight before Saturday arrives.
Miku is not the only giant name joining the fray. The event teaser trailer showcases several other epic characters. Fans spotted Godzilla, Kong, and The Incredible Bulk (a giant version of Homer Simpson). Additionally, spaceships from the Star Wars season will return to the skies. While Miku’s specific role remains a mystery, every character will play a part in the battle.
The “Zero Hour” event serves as the grand conclusion to a years-long saga. The storyline follows Hope and Jones, a duo that has been central to the plot since Chapter 5. As the story progressed into Chapter 6, characters like Kendo and Jade joined them to stop the villainous Daigo, the Mask Maker.
Now, the stakes are higher. Hope and Jones must gather every hero they have assembled over the past few years. They must join forces to defeat a new threat known as the “Dark Presence”. Epic Games is promoting this as one of the most important moments in the game’s history.
The Zero Hour live event is scheduled for November 29 at 2 PM ET / November 30 at 12:00 AM Pakistan Standard Time.
However, the entry process is different this time. Previously, live events took place before a season ended. This event requires a new step. Players must download the new season patch for Fortnite as soon as it becomes available. Once the downtime ends and servers come back online, you can jump straight into the action.
