Key Points Summary
- Leaks suggest Fortnite may be collaborating with the popular anime series, Kaiju No. 8.
- Given Kaiju No. 8's current global popularity, a crossover would be a logical move.
- Separate leaks also hint at a potential Demon Slayer collaboration for Fortnite.
According to a prominent Fortnite leaker, the battle royale game might soon feature a crossover with the anime Kaiju No. 8. Fans of giant monsters already have Godzilla to look forward to, which arrives in-game on January 17. To unlock this iconic character in Fortnite, players will need to purchase the Chapter 6 Season 1 battle pass, as his cosmetics won't be sold separately in the Item Shop.
Fortnite recently wrapped up its Winterfest event and launched its first major update of 2025. Beyond new cosmetics, Epic Games introduced several gameplay changes. Players can now use instruments from Fortnite Festival as back bling and pickaxes, while some instruments previously exclusive to battle royale are now usable in the music mode. The update also added a local co-op mode for Fortnite Festival. These improvements arrive alongside fresh rumors about upcoming features and crossovers.
In a recent social media post, noted leaker HYPEX suggested Epic Games is working on a collaboration between Fortnite and Kaiju No. 8. The anime follows Kafka Hibino, a man who gains the ability to transform into a kaiju after ingesting a parasitic creature. His life becomes more complicated as he joins an organization dedicated to hunting these very monsters. Originally a manga, Kaiju No. 8 received an anime adaptation in 2024, with a second season planned for 2025. If the leaks are accurate, it will join other anime like Dragon Ball Z in Fortnite.

Alongside Kaiju No. 8, multiple sources claim Demon Slayer could also be coming to Fortnite. While both anime crossovers are rumored for the near future, details on what they might include remain unclear. Many fans anticipate new cosmetic items in the Item Shop, while others hope to see characters from these series appear on the game map.
Leakers have also indicated that more MonsterVerse characters may follow Godzilla. If true, players could soon unlock cosmetics for King Kong and Mechagodzilla. With a wealth of new content reportedly on the way, players are eager to see what Epic Games has planned for the rest of 2025.
