Recently, a well-known Fortnite leaker dropped some intriguing news that the beloved battle royale game might soon feature a crossover with the anime Kaiju No. 8. For fans excited about epic monster battles, this is great news, especially with Godzilla set to make an appearance in the game on January 17. Players eager to add Godzilla to their collection will need to get the battle pass for Chapter 6 Season 1, as his themed items won’t be available for direct purchase in the Item Shop.
Fortnite just wrapped up its yearly Winterfest event and unveiled its first significant update for 2025. Beyond dazzling new cosmetics, Epic Games has introduced a suite of changes. Players now have the ability to use instruments from the Fortnite Festival as back blings and pickaxes, diversifying gameplay even more. Some instruments, initially limited to the battle royale mode, have now been incorporated into the music-centric mode as well. Epic Games also launched a local co-op mode for the Fortnite Festival, ensuring a fresh layer of engagement for fans. These updates come with a swirl of exciting rumors about future features and collaborations.
HYPEX, a prominent leaker, suggested on Twitter that Epic Games might be planning a partnership between Fortnite and the highly popular anime Kaiju No. 8. This anime centers around Kafka Hibino, who gains the ability to transform into a massive kaiju after a freak incident. His newfound power leads him to join an organization dedicated to hunting down and destroying these monstrous creatures. Originally a manga, Kaiju No. 8 was adapted into an anime in 2024, with a second season lined up for 2025. Should these rumors turn out to be true, Kaiju No. 8 will join other anime series like Dragon Ball Z in Fortnite’s growing list of crossovers.
Adding to the excitement, several leakers have hinted that Demon Slayer might also make an entrance into the Fortnite universe. Though specifics are scarce, fans speculate that a range of anime-inspired cosmetics could hit the Item Shop. Others are hopeful that we’ll see characters from these series take to the Fortnite landscape.
Leakers have also suggested that more elements from the MonsterVerse might soon accompany Godzilla, with players potentially getting their hands on King Kong and Mechagodzilla cosmetics. With so much anticipation surrounding these possible additions, players are eager to discover what Epic Games has in store for the rest of the year.
