There’s some exciting news in the world of Fortnite! According to leaks, the famous battle royale game might soon feature a crossover with the hit anime series, Kaiju No. 8. Considering the show’s immense popularity, this collaboration seems quite fitting. Additionally, there are whispers about another potential crossover with the equally popular Demon Slayer.
A well-known Fortnite leaker recently shared that players might soon see Kaiju No. 8 characters enter the game. Anime fans have lots to anticipate, especially with Godzilla set to stomp into the game on January 17th. To snag Godzilla, gamers will need the Chapter 6 Season 1 battle pass, as his exclusive items won’t be sold in the Item Shop.
Epic Games has just wrapped up its annual Winterfest and rolled out its first major update for 2025, adding fresh content and tweaks to the game. For instance, players can now use musical instruments from Fortnite Festival as back blings and pickaxes. Some instruments previously limited to battle royale mode can now be wielded in music-driven modes. They’ve also introduced a local co-op mode for Fortnite Festival, offering a new way to dive into the game. Alongside these updates, rumors are heating up about more features and crossovers in the pipeline.
On Twitter, the widely-followed leaker HYPEX dropped hints about Epic Games potentially collaborating with Kaiju No. 8. This anime follows Kafka Hibino, a young man who, after an odd twist of fate, gains the ability to transform into a kaiju. His journey involves joining a group focused on hunting these monstrous creatures. Originally a manga, Kaiju No. 8 was adapted into an anime in 2024, with another season expected in 2025. Should these leaks hold, Kaiju No. 8 will join other iconic anime, like Dragon Ball Z, in the Fortnite universe.
Beyond Kaiju No. 8, some leakers suggest Demon Slayer might also be making its way to Fortnite. Details are scarce, but fans hypothesize we might get new cosmetics in the Item Shop and perhaps even see characters from these beloved anime on the battlefield.
Adding to the buzz, there are talks about more MonsterVerse icons joining Godzilla, possibly including King Kong and Mechagodzilla. With such promising content on the horizon, Fortnite enthusiasts have a lot to look forward to in the rest of 2025.
