A well-known Fortnite leaker has suggested that the beloved battle royale might soon team up with the anime Kaiju No. 8. Fans of giant monsters have plenty to be excited about, especially with Godzilla set to join the game on January 17. To unlock this legendary character in Fortnite, players will need to purchase the battle pass for Chapter 6 Season 1, as his cosmetics won’t be found in the Item Shop.
Fortnite has just wrapped up its annual Winterfest event and rolled out its first major update for 2025. This update not only brings fresh cosmetics but also introduces several exciting changes. Players can now equip instruments from Fortnite Festival as back blings and pickaxes. Additionally, some instruments that were previously limited to battle royale can now be utilized in the music-driven mode. Epic Games has also launched a local co-op mode for Fortnite Festival, offering players a new way to enjoy the game. Alongside these enhancements, there are plenty of new rumors circulating about future features and crossovers.
In a recent tweet, the popular leaker HYPEX hinted that Epic Games might be planning a collaboration between the beloved anime Kaiju No. 8 and Fortnite. The story revolves around Kafka Hibino, a young man who, after an extraordinary incident involving a parasitic creature, acquires the ability to transform into a kaiju. His life takes a turn as he is destined to become part of a group focused on finding and eliminating these monsters. Kaiju No. 8 started as a manga and was adapted into an anime in 2024, with a second season on the way for 2025. If the leaks are accurate, Kaiju No. 8 could soon join other anime like Dragon Ball Z in the Fortnite universe.
Fortnite Leaker Claims a Crossover With Kaiju No. 8 Is Happening
Alongside Kaiju No. 8, several sources have suggested that Demon Slayer might also make its way to Fortnite. Although both anime collaborations are said to be on the horizon, details about what players can anticipate remain unclear. Many fans believe that a range of cosmetics could appear in the Item Shop, while others are eager to see characters from both series featured on the map.
Recent leaks suggest that additional MonsterVerse characters might be joining Godzilla soon. If this turns out to be accurate, players could soon get their hands on cosmetics for King Kong and Mechagodzilla in Fortnite. With a wealth of new content on the way, excitement is building among players eager to discover what Epic Games has in store for the remainder of 2025.
