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 hit anime series, Kaiju No. 8. Given Kaiju No. 8's current global popularity, this collaboration would be a logical move for Epic Games. Further fueling speculation, rumors also point towards a possible Demon Slayer crossover.
The buzz began with a prominent Fortnite leaker's tweet hinting at the Kaiju No. 8 collaboration. This follows the game's recent Winterfest event conclusion and the release of its first 2025 major update. This update introduced new cosmetics, gameplay tweaks (such as using Fortnite Festival instruments as back blings and pickaxes), and a local co-op mode for Fortnite Festival.
Kaiju No. 8, which started as a manga and received an anime adaptation in 2024 (with a second season slated for 2025), centers on Kafka Hibino, who gains kaiju-transforming abilities after an unusual encounter. The story follows his involvement in an organization dedicated to eliminating these monsters. A successful crossover would place Kaiju No. 8 alongside other popular anime franchises like Dragon Ball Z already featured in Fortnite.
More Than Just Kaiju No. 8?
Beyond Kaiju No. 8, multiple sources suggest a potential Demon Slayer crossover is also in the works. While details remain scarce, many fans anticipate new cosmetics in the Item Shop, with some hoping for in-game map representations of characters from both anime. Additional leaks hint at the arrival of more MonsterVerse characters, potentially including King Kong and Mechagodzilla, to join the already announced Godzilla (available January 17th via the Chapter 6 Season 1 battle pass).
With Godzilla's imminent arrival and these exciting crossover rumors, Fortnite players eagerly anticipate what Epic Games has in store for the remainder of 2025.
