Fortnite Insider Unveils New Anime Crossover Event

It looks like Fortnite might be gearing up for an exciting collaboration with Kaiju No. 8, if the latest leaks are to be believed. Considering Kaiju No. 8’s massive popularity in the anime world, this could make for an enticing crossover. Additionally, there are whispers suggesting that Demon Slayer might also be heading to Fortnite soon.

Recently, a well-known Fortnite leaker revealed that the beloved battle royale game could soon feature a crossover with the anime Kaiju No. 8. Fans of the genre are already eager, especially since Godzilla is set to roar into action on January 17. To snag this iconic character, players will need to get the battle pass for Chapter 6 Season 1, as his cosmetics won’t be up for grabs in the Item Shop.

Having just wrapped up its annual Winterfest, Fortnite has kicked off 2025 with a significant update. Epic Games has added a bunch of new cosmetics and introduced some changes to the game. Players can now use instruments from Fortnite Festival as back blings and pickaxes, while some instruments previously exclusive to battle royale are now available in music-driven mode. Plus, Epic Games has launched a local co-op mode for Fortnite Festival, offering a fresh way to enjoy the game. These updates came along with swirling rumors about future features and collaborations.

In another update shared on Twitter, the well-regarded leaker HYPEX suggested that Fortnite might soon feature a crossover with Kaiju No. 8. This anime follows the tale of Kafka Hibino, a young man who gains the power to transform into a kaiju after consuming a parasitic creature. His journey becomes even more complicated as he joins an organization devoted to hunting down these monsters. Originally starting as a manga, Kaiju No. 8 was adapted into an anime in 2024, with another season on the horizon for 2025. If these leaks prove to be accurate, Kaiju No. 8 could join the ranks of other animes like Dragon Ball Z in Fortnite.

There’s additional buzz about a possible Demon Slayer crossover coming to Fortnite as well. While these anime collaborations are still unconfirmed, there is ample speculation about potential new cosmetics hitting the Item Shop. Some fans hope for more than just cosmetics, dreaming of seeing characters from both anime series integrated into the gameplay map.

Rumors have expanded beyond these anime crossovers, with leakers hinting at more MonsterVerse characters joining the fun, building on Godzilla’s impending arrival. If true, players might soon be able to scoop up King Kong and Mechagodzilla cosmetics too. With such thrilling content lined up, Fortnite fans are excited to see what else Epic Games has planned for 2025.
