A prominent Fortnite leaker recently suggested that the popular battle royale game could be gearing up for a crossover with the anime Kaiju No. 8. Fans of colossal creatures are already excited, as Godzilla is set to join the game on January 17. To get Godzilla's cosmetics, players will need to purchase the battle pass for Chapter 6 Season 1, as these items won't be available in the Item Shop.
Fortnite has just wrapped up its annual Winterfest event and kicked off the new year with a significant update for 2025. This update not only brought new cosmetics but also introduced several gameplay enhancements. Players can now use instruments from Fortnite Festival as back blings and pickaxes, while some battle royale-exclusive instruments can now be utilized within the music-driven mode. Additionally, Epic Games launched a local co-op mode for Fortnite Festival, offering a fresh way for players to enjoy the game. These updates coincide with a flurry of rumors about upcoming features and collaborations.
In a recent Twitter post, the well-known leaker HYPEX hinted at a potential collaboration between Fortnite and the anime Kaiju No. 8. The series centers around Kafka Hibino, a young man who gains the ability to transform into a kaiju after ingesting a parasitic creature. His life becomes even more complex as he is set to join an organization dedicated to eliminating these monsters. Originally a manga, Kaiju No. 8 was adapted into an anime in 2024, with a second season scheduled for 2025. If these leaks hold true, Kaiju No. 8 could join other anime like Dragon Ball Z in Fortnite.
In addition to Kaiju No. 8, leaks also suggest that Demon Slayer might be making its way to Fortnite. While details are scarce, fans speculate that both crossovers could introduce new cosmetics to the Item Shop. Some enthusiasts even hope to see characters from these franchises appear on the game map.
Moreover, leakers have hinted at the arrival of additional MonsterVerse characters to complement Godzilla. If confirmed, players could soon access cosmetics for King Kong and Mechagodzilla in Fortnite. With so much new content on the horizon, the Fortnite community is buzzing with anticipation for what Epic Games has in store for the rest of 2025.
