Hoshimachi Suisei is officially joining Fortnite, as her skin has now been revealed. Hololive’s virtual idol will receive an Icon Series skin, an emote, a wrap, and several other cosmetic items. She will join the battle royale game soon, as her cosmetics will be available in the Item Shop.
The Hoshimachi Suisei bundle will likely be the final collaboration this season, as Chapter 7 – Season 2 is set to launch on Friday, March 20. Considering how much hype surrounds this character, this will likely mark another successful collaboration for Epic Games.
What is the release date of the Hoshimachi Suisei skin in Fortnite?
The release date of the Hoshimachi Suisei Fortnite skin is likely Thursday, March 12. Epic Games decrypted her cosmetics on Thursday, pointing to this release date. While the date hasn’t been confirmed, Epic generally decrypts cosmetics shortly before they come out, so we expect the virtual idol to join Fortnite on Thursday at 8 PM Eastern Time.
Besides the skin, the Fortnite x Hoshimachi Suisei collaboration will introduce several additional cosmetics:
| Item Name | Type |
|---|---|
| Hoshimachi Suisei | Outfit / Skin |
| Suisei’s Star Map | Back Bling |
| Suisei’s Penlight Mic | Instrument |
| Suisei’s Halberd | Pickaxe |
| Bibbidiba | Emote |
| Hoshimachi Suisei | Loading Screen |
| Suisei’s Wink | Weapon Wrap |
Epic Games hasn’t revealed the price of the Hoshimachi Suisei skin, but we expect it to cost at least 1,500 V-Bucks. The developer will likely release her bundle as well, which should include all the cosmetics listed above and cost around 3,000 V-Bucks as well.
Suisei’s addition continues Fortnite’s recent push into the VTuber space. Earlier in the season, the game collaborated with Kizuna AI, which was quite popular. Kizuna AI was also available for free through a cup, which could also be the case with Hoshimachi Suisei.
If you’re planning on buying the Hoshimachi Suisei skin in Fortnite, we advise you to do it on her release day, as V-Bucks are getting more expensive next week. If you’re short on the premium currency, you can unlock several free Fortnite skins or use some of the best XP maps to level up and unlock free cosmetics from the Battle Pass.
