Fortnite Insider Unveils New Anime Crossover Event

Summary

According to recent leaks, Fortnite might soon be teaming up with the popular anime series, Kaiju No. 8. This move seems to be a logical step, given the anime’s soaring popularity worldwide. Additionally, there are whispers that Demon Slayer might also make its way into the Fortnite universe.

A well-known Fortnite leaker recently hinted that an intriguing crossover with the anime Kaiju No. 8 could be on the horizon for the iconic battle royale game. Fans of colossal creatures have exciting times ahead, as Godzilla is set to stomp into the game on January 17. To add this legendary character to their collection, players will need to snag the Chapter 6 Season 1 battle pass since his cosmetics won’t be popping up in the Item Shop.

Fortnite just wrapped up its yearly Winterfest event and has rolled out its first major update for 2025. Among the fresh cosmetics, Epic Games has introduced several tweaks, like allowing players to use instruments from the Fortnite Festival as back blings and pickaxes. Some instruments, once restricted to battle royale mode, can now be utilized in the music-driven mode. They’ve also launched a local co-op mode for Fortnite Festival, offering a brand-new way for players to enjoy the game. These updates come amid a swirl of gossip about potential upcoming features and collaborations.

A recent tweet by the popular leaker HYPEX suggests Epic Games might be setting up a collab between Fortnite and the anime Kaiju No. 8. The anime follows Kafka Hibino, a young man who, after a bizarre incident, gains the power to morph into a kaiju. He then has to deal with being part of an organization dedicated to eliminating such monsters. Starting as a manga, Kaiju No. 8 was adapted into an anime in 2024, with a second season on the way for 2025. Should these rumors hold water, Kaiju No. 8 will join the ranks of anime like Dragon Ball Z already present in Fortnite.

In addition to Kaiju No. 8, other leakers have speculated about the introduction of Demon Slayer into Fortnite. While details are still under wraps, players hope for a variety of cosmetics in the Item Shop and perhaps even some iconic characters on the map.

Leakers have also suggested that more MonsterVerse characters might join Fortnite alongside Godzilla. If these claims pan out, players might see King Kong and Mechagodzilla cosmetics being added soon. With so much on the horizon, gamers are buzzing with anticipation over what Epic Games has in store for the rest of 2025.
