Fortnite 43.10: Kasane Teto Music Pass arrives as Miku and Teto ready Sunday takeover
Fortnite 43.10 lands on 12 November with a 1,000 V-Bucks Kasane Teto Music Pass, a new Map Fragment and a reworked Rubber Resort. On Sunday, Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto take over the island in Week 3 of Treasure Hunters.
Fortnite's 43.10 update goes live on Thursday 12 November, launching a dedicated Kasane Teto Music Pass and setting up Sunday's Week 3 Captain's Day, when Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto take over the island's resort in Battle Royale.
It is the first major patch of the Treasure Hunters mini season, which began with version 43.00 on 1 November. Alongside the new Captains, the update brings another Map Fragment, a reworked point of interest, fresh weekly quests and a fix for one of the more irritating bugs of the opening fortnight.
When the servers go offline
Downtime is expected to begin at 4 AM ET, which is 09:00 in the UK, and to last roughly 90 minutes, with matchmaking due back at around 10:30 UK time. Epic normally confirms the final timeline shortly before a patch, so check the in-game news before planning a morning session.
Week 3 quests are scheduled to unlock on the same day, in line with the usual pattern of new weekly challenges arriving on Thursdays at 9 AM ET, or 14:00 UK time.
What 43.10 adds to Battle Royale
Epic has outlined the main changes ahead of release:
- Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto become the next Captains, following A$AP Rocky and Lil Uzi Vert.
- Rubber Resort is reworked to match the new Captains' colours.
- A new Map Fragment can be collected during Treasure Hours this weekend.
- A bug that made it harder to dig up buried Treasure Hunt Chests is being fixed.
- Lil Uzi Vert, Buggy and Cap'n Hatsune Miku are due in the Item Shop later in the week.
The big moment comes on Sunday 15 November. Week 3 Captain's Day, billed as 'Miku & Teto Arrive', starts at 9 AM ET (14:00 UK), and Epic says the duo will take over the island's resort with a set of returning weapons and a leek that players can wield. Sundays are also when Treasure Hours boost chest drops, which makes it the best time of the week to chase the new fragment.
How the Kasane Teto Music Pass works
Kasane Teto's Music Pass opens on 12 November and costs 1,000 V-Bucks, cheaper than the standard 1,200 V-Bucks pass because it is a smaller track. It is also included for Fortnite Crew subscribers. As with other passes, the V-Bucks are not returned when you complete it, and progress comes from XP earned in any mode, so you do not have to spend all your time in Festival to work through it.
Epic has not yet published the full reward list or an end date for the pass. Cap'n Hatsune Miku is the only collaboration outfit confirmed for the Item Shop so far, arriving on 14 November. Its price has not been announced, although the original Miku outfit sold for 1,500 V-Bucks. Separate Kasane Teto items for the Shop have not been confirmed.
For newcomers, Kasane Teto began life as an April Fool's joke in 2008 and has grown into one of the best-known virtual singers. Hatsune Miku is a familiar face in Fortnite after headlining Festival Season 7, so this pairing ties the music side of the game directly into the Treasure Hunters storyline.
