All Hatsune Miku Collaborations in Gaming, from Fortnite to Fall Guys and more

She gets around

Hatsune Miku is perhaps the world’s most well-known, instantly recognizable example of a relatively obscure type of celebrity — virtual idols. She’s essentially a computer program designed to sing and perform, and her voice has been used in well over 100,000 original songs.

In a world that’s ever more worried about the powers of AI, you would think that a virtual person taking over🌳 the music industry would be a cause for con﷽cern, but somehow, Hatsune Miku goes against the grain and has become beloved by fans, and a familiar face to anyone, even those who can’t put a name to that face. 

Since her initial appearance in 2007, as part of Cryp🌟ton Future Media’s ability to synthesize voices and images, Hatsune Miku has had a string of standalone games as part of the ♏Vocaloid franchise. She’s been cemented in video game history in her own right, especially if you like rhythm games or have a particular penchant for anime girls, but she’s also appeared in a long list of games in crossovers or cameo appearances. 

Heꦚre’s every game that Hatsune Miku has appeared in outside of her own standalone series, starting with the most prominent before moving on to the smaller bit parts.

Fortnite

If you’re even remotely keeping up with news in the gaming world, then this is likely the first crossover that came to mind, so let’s get it out of the way relatively early. Running from January 2025 until April 2025, season 7 of Fortnite Festival has Hatsune Miku as the central star. Not only can players get a Hatsune Miku skin, which can be used in Battle Royale and Lego Fortnite: Odyssey, but they can a🔥lso get “Neko Hatsune Miku” as a bonus for their purchase. 

If you’re wondering, it’s the same as the other skin, except she’s wearing pink, and her hat has catꦜ ears. 

Anyway, as part of her main reason for being in Fortnite, four Hatsune Miku songs are included as “Ja🍨m Tracks” for players to play through. But let’s be honest, the main appeal of t꧟his crossover is the two skins. 

Just Dance

Over the years, Hatsune Miku tracks have appeared in a variety of Just Dance’s yearly releases, and they never fail to become favorite tracks for fans or even just those looking to do a decent amount of exercise while they play. During a behind-the-scenes clip before her international debut ꧃in 2016, Ubisoft revealed that it had wanted to bring Hatsune Miku into the games for years.

Technically, the included songs aren’t even actually by Hatsune Miku, but she is credited for them in the games themselves. Here’s the list of songs that are available in Just Dance games internationally:

  • Just Dance 2016 – Otomania’s “Ievan Polkka”
  • Just Dance 2017 – LamazeP’s “PoPiPo”
  • Just Dance 2018 – OSTER project’s “Love Ward”

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout

Much like her more recent appearance in Fortnite, Hatsune Miku has also appeared in the hilarious yet frustrating Fall Guys, when some skins of her likeness wer﷽e included as 🧔part of the season 2 battle pass and “Sound of the Future” event. 

There were two costumes in total, one with the basic expecte🦂d costume and another “Miku Blunderland” costume that had Hatsune Miku decked out in a more familiar Fall Guys hood🔯ie and, inexplicably, fruit in her hair. There were also Nameplates up for grabs for those who earned enough points by grabbing Glow Sticks and Spring Onions. 

It was a weird time, but the costumes were cute, in that comforting Fall Guys kind of way. 

Fitness Boxing

For some people, enjoyment of exercise comes from the possibility of beating high scores, and if you want something cathartic, then Fitness Boxing is perfect. If you also happen to be a fan of Hatsune Miku, or the other Piapro characters for that matter, then you can punch your way through 24 tracks in Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku while H💞atsune Miku accompanies you through your workout. ;

Admi🌸ttedly, this is a bit of a niche crossover and was pretty much only picked up by those people who happen to land in the middle of a very particular exerc🌸ise-lover-cross-anime-lover Venn diagram, but it is a lot of fun, and the music really is conducive of a solid workout routine. 

Magic the Gathering

Speaking of niche crossovers and stepping outside of the video game sphere for a moment to focus on something more appropriate fo🤡r th🌳e tabletop, Magic: The Gathering started to release Secret Lair sets in 2024 featuring the virtual idol. Three sets have been dropped so far, with a fourth yet to arrive. The three currently available sets are as follows:

  • Secret Lair x Hatsune Miku: Sakura Superstar
  • Secret Lair x Hatsune Miku: Digital Sensation
  • Secret Lair x Hatsune Miku: Electric Entourage

It seems like a strange idea for a crossover, I know, but Magic: The Gathering has also had other strange Secret Lair crossovers with Ghostbusters and Chucky. 2025 will also see a Spongebob Squarepants set added to 🧸the mix. Somehow, it just works despite the fact that, on paper, it really shouldn’t. 

Crypt of the NecroDancer

Hatsune Miku is available as a playable character in indie gem Crypt of the NecroDancer as part of the Hatsune Miku DLC, with a Leek as her dedicated weapon, which should come as no surprise whatsoever to anyone whoꦑ 𒊎is even remotely familiar with Hatsune Miku. 

Unlike other basic characters in the game, Hatsune Miku can move diagonally and doesn’t miss a beat when she bounces off the walls, making her a useful character to have in your arsenal. She also has a bomb ability called “Sing Spell,” which hits a 3×3 area around wherever she stands and is capable of destroying walls and causing enemies affected to heal her rather than damage her. 

Monster Hunter Frontier

Way back in 2013, Hatsune Miku appeared in a crossover with Monster Hunter Frontier, offering 💧players an armor set fashioned on the appearance of Hatsune Miku and four unique weapons:

  • Mikuhon Dokosu (Hammer)
  • Hatsune Seigaku Dokuso (Hammer)
  • Mikuku Dokuso (Hunting Horn)
  • Hatsune Kenban Dokuso (Hunting Horn)

Sadly, Frontier was onl♚y ever available in Japan, Korea, and China, so this crossover was reserved for thosꦏe who were based there. Servers for the game were shut down in 2019. 

Ninjala

In 2021, Ninjala announced a collaboration event with Hatsune Miku, during which players could earn event rewards to exchange for Hatsune Miku-themed avatar items in the event Style Gacha systems. Items included outfits, accessories, sticꦯkers, emotes, and background music. 

Running around the levels of Ninjala is insanely fun, and it was only made more fun by the inclusion of these event-limited goals. The event debuted in October 202📖1 and returned for part 2 in December 2023, featuring new rewards up forꦫ grabs.

The Battle Cats

In 2020, The Battle Cats announced that it would be holding a collaboration event with Hatsune Miku and other Vocaloid chꦦaracters. During the two-week event, players could get their hands on a very long list of exclusive Vocaloid-themed items, as well as play through various themed stages. 

Each of the kitty units had its own strengths and attacks, and they ranged from rare to super rare in terms of difficulty. They wer♒e obtained via a gacha system by completing stages or collecting stamps.
