Fortnite has recently confirmed a collaboration with Hoshimachi Suisei, who is one of the most popular VTubers under Hololive Production. She is going to join the game as an Icon Series skin on March 12, 2026. The collaboration announcement was made through Fortnite's official social media channels with the teaser "Here to put on a stellar performance," referencing Suisei's comet-themed aesthetic.

Fortnite x Hoshimachi Suisei collaboration details

Fortnite x Hoshimachi Suisei has officially been confirmed by Epic Games, and it is set to go live on March 12, 2026. The VTuber has one of the most dedicated fanbases in the community since she joined Hololive. She is particularly known for her incredible singing voice, and her introduction is a significant milestone for VTuber collaborations.
Essentially, Hoshimachi Suisei will be receiving an Icon Series skin in Fortnite, and this places her in the same category as cultural icons like Ariana Grande. This is quite a major occasion and opens the door for more VTubers in Fortnite.
According to datamined information from reliable Fortnite leakers, the Suisei collaboration is expected to include the following cosmetics:

• Hoshimachi Suisei (Outfit): This will be the primary skin that you can acquire. It will feature her signature blue hair and idol attire, maintaining her iconic identity.
• LEGO Style: A fully playable LEGO version of Suisei for use in the LEGO Fortnite mode of the game.
• Suisei's Penlight Mic: A cosmetic named "Suisei's Penlight Mic" was referenced in game files. It could turn out to be a Back Bling or Pickaxe.
• Jam Tracks: Multiple music tracks featuring Suisei's hit singles. This will likely include "Stellar Stellar" or "Bibbidiba."
• Emote: Previous Icon Series collaborations have included an exclusive emote, so it is likely that Fortnite x Hoshimachi Suisei will also feature one.

Speaking of the cost, it is likely that the Hoshimachi Suisei bundle will cost over 3,000 V-Bucks. Accordingly, you are advised to keep the in-game currency ready, with the collaboration set to release in the coming days.
Keep in mind that Icon Series collaborations typically remain available for limited periods before rotating out of the Fortnite Item Shop.
