PewDiePie debuts new Virtual YouTuber avatar after taking inspiration from Dream & Corpse YouTube: PewDiePieLast week, YouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg announced that he\u2019d be going without a facecam for the foreseeable future \u2014 and it seems he\u2019s made good on his promise in a hilarious way. [jwplayer h3XPfMqQ] PewDiePie is YouTube\u2019s biggest independent content creator, boasting the most subscribers out of any other channel on the entire platform (thanks to his infamous battle against T-Series). However, PewDiePie \u2014 much like other gaming YouTubers from his era of fame \u2014 has always shown his face to fans, sporting a variety of facial hair styles throughout the years. Lately, though, several personalities have skyrocketed to fame partially because they don\u2019t show their faces, namely Corpse Husband and Dream, among others. In effort to \u201ckeep up with the times,\u201d as it were, PewDiePie has followed this trend, announcing that he would be turning off his face cam for future uploads after returning from a New Year\u2019s break. While PewDiePie rocked a Minecraft-themed avatar for a video on January 24 \u2014 his first \u201cofficial\u201d video since making his comeback a day prior \u2014 on January 25, the Swede debuted an anime-style avatar in true VTuber fashion. The avatar itself could have come right out of a dating simulator; boasting a school uniform jacket, the classic anime-protag hairstyle and a blase expression, PewDiePie\u2019s new look is almost too perfect for the VTuber aesthetic\u2026 but that isn\u2019t the only anime-style avatar he\u2019s been rocking lately. During a Minecraft stream on the same day, PewDiePie used yet another anime face-rig getup, this time looking a tad more \u201cMagical School\u201d than before. For this video, his avatar sported white hair and a sweater-vest, as though its designer were aiming for a knock-off Draco Malfoy. Nevertheless, it doesn\u2019t look like the YouTuber has settled on a permanent avatar thus far, and even asked fans to make him a \u201cbetter\u201d FaceRig avatar for the future. There\u2019s still no telling if Kjellberg will actually make the switch to VTuber a permanent decision \u2014 but for now, it\u2019s definitely a treat waiting to see what avatar he\u2019ll use, next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
