The renowned VTuber virtual character Kizuna AI is about to land on the Fortnite platform, appearing as an Icon skin. This collaboration marks another exploration of the integration between virtual characters and the gaming ecosystem. As the concept of the metaverse evolves, more and more virtual IPs are crossing boundaries and engaging in in-depth cooperation with mainstream gaming platforms. Kizuna AI, as a well-known industry VTuber representative, commercializing its image value provides a new reference case for the application of virtual assets in the gaming field. Such collaborations typically attract specific community fans to the gaming platform and also open up new paths for the commercial monetization of virtual IPs, becoming a typical example of IP and game integration in the current Web3 ecosystem.

I can't hold it anymore, Kizuna AI is in Fortnite now, this game really wants everything Oh my goodness, another virtual IP is trying to cash in, money is really easy to make Kizuna AI in Fortnite? Alright, anyway, the skins are getting more and more outrageous So can I also release skins? Please, I beg you Is this the future of Web3... a bit 😅 But honestly, riding on the coattails of virtual IPs in games is indeed a popular tactic Fortnite has really become a skin museum, putting everything inside Wait, what does this mean for the entire VTuber ecosystem, what do you all think? Another new trick to cut fans' wallets, but I will still buy it, save me Wait, am I buying this skin as an investment or consumption? I'm confused

Wait, did the official Fortnite wallet address have a large transfer this time? I just saw that an institutional address was unusually active within 72 hours before the event, there must be a fund flow behind it that I haven't tracked...

Kizuna AI enters Fortnite? Now virtual streamers are really competing for game skins... Everyone can smell the money Should I buy the Kizuna AI skin? The key is whether the price will be another outrageous markup Basically, it's still about monetizing traffic. Virtual IPs are just like that—if they can make money, they will go all out Is Fortnite opening a backdoor for virtual streamers? Will every VTuber have a spot in the game in the future? Kizuna AI logging into Fortnite is indeed impressive, but I'm more curious about how strong the fan support for this skin can be If this collaboration is successful, it could really set a benchmark, but it all depends on the sales, everyone Virtual characters crossing over to gaming platforms sounds awesome, but ultimately it's just a business where everyone benefits from their own needs Kizuna AI skin is here... Time to spend more money, my wallet is crying Now every virtual IP in Fortnite wants to jump on the trend; it’s almost turning into an IP showcase hall Is this the metaverse knocking on the door? Although I still don’t quite understand what this thing is

Ha, another virtual skin collector is here. This time it's Kizuna AI logging into Fortnite. Is Fortnite planning to bring the entire anime world in? It feels like there's nothing new anymore. But on the other hand, VTubers do have a solid fan base. There should be quite a few people buying skins. Web3 marketing talk is back again. It's still traditional buying and selling, just with a new term. Wait, how much can this collaboration make? Is the virtual asset hype about to be reignited? I'm a bit tired. All this IP fusion and metaverse stuff—playing games is just playing games. Do we really need to make it so complicated? Honestly, Kizuna AI's popularity is almost fading. Releasing this skin now feels a bit behind. It's all about commercial monetization and new pathways. Isn't there something a little different?

Oxide Red Circle is up to his tricks again haha, is Fortnite about to fully embrace the second dimension? Wait, how much does this skin cost? I'm afraid it's just another money-grabbing scheme... A-chan entering Fortnite? Alright, anyway, the gaming circle now fills every virtual IP, so it's no surprise anymore. If they really come out with collaboration merchandise, my wallet will cry again, sob sob. A new way for virtual IP to monetize, got it, got it, another feast for capital. Why do I always feel these collaborations are a bit... how to say, awkward? Wait, can this be traded? Could there be another situation where collectors hype up skins...
