Fortnite Rumored to Crossover with Popular Anime Kaiju No. 8
Recent leaks suggest a potential crossover between the immensely popular battle royale game, Fortnite, and the acclaimed anime series, Kaiju No. 8. Given Kaiju No. 8's current global popularity, such a collaboration would be a logical and exciting move for Epic Games. Adding fuel to the fire, rumors also circulate about a possible Demon Slayer crossover.
The buzz follows Fortnite's recent Winterfest event conclusion and the launch of its first 2025 major update. This update included new cosmetics, gameplay tweaks (such as using Fortnite Festival instruments as back blings and pickaxes), and a local co-op mode for Fortnite Festival. These additions have coincided with a surge in speculation regarding future content and crossovers.
Prominent Fortnite leaker, HYPEX, fueled the Kaiju No. 8 speculation on Twitter. Kaiju No. 8, initially a manga, received an anime adaptation in 2024, with a second season slated for 2025. The story centers around Kafka Hibino, who gains kaiju-transforming abilities after an unusual encounter. A potential Fortnite crossover would place Kaiju No. 8 alongside other popular anime franchises already featured in the game, such as Dragon Ball Z.
More Than Just Kaiju No. 8?
Beyond Kaiju No. 8, multiple sources hint at a possible Demon Slayer crossover. While details remain scarce on both collaborations, many anticipate new cosmetics in the Item Shop, with some hoping for in-game map representation of characters from both anime.
Further leaks suggest the addition of more MonsterVerse characters to join Godzilla (releasing January 17th with the Chapter 6 Season 1 battle pass). King Kong and Mechagodzilla cosmetics are rumored to be on the way.
With a plethora of potential new content on the horizon, Fortnite players eagerly anticipate Epic Games' plans for the remainder of 2025.
