Fortnite Rumored to Crossover with Popular Anime Kaiju No. 8
Recent leaks suggest a potential crossover between the hugely popular battle royale game Fortnite and the anime sensation, Kaiju No. 8. Given Kaiju No. 8's current global popularity, such a collaboration would be a logical move by Epic Games. Adding to the excitement, rumors also point towards a possible Demon Slayer crossover in the near future.
The buzz started with a prominent Fortnite leaker, HYPEX, hinting at the Kaiju No. 8 partnership. This follows the upcoming arrival of Godzilla on January 17th, obtainable through the Chapter 6 Season 1 battle pass. This influx of monster-themed content is generating significant hype amongst players.
Fortnite's recent Winterfest event and the first major 2025 update have introduced new cosmetics and gameplay changes. These include the ability to use instruments from Fortnite Festival as back blings and pickaxes, expanding cross-functionality between game modes. A new local co-op mode for Fortnite Festival has also been added. These updates coincide with a flurry of speculation regarding future features and crossovers.
HYPEX's leak details a potential collaboration centered around the Kaiju No. 8 storyline, which follows Kafka Hibino's transformation into a kaiju after encountering a parasitic creature. The anime adaptation, which debuted in 2024, is slated for a second season in 2025. A successful crossover would place Kaiju No. 8 alongside other popular anime franchises already featured in Fortnite, such as Dragon Ball Z.
More Than Just Kaiju No. 8?
Beyond Kaiju No. 8, multiple sources suggest a potential Demon Slayer crossover is in the works. While specifics remain scarce, many anticipate new cosmetics in the Item Shop, and some hope for character representation within the game's map. Further leaks hint at additional MonsterVerse characters joining Godzilla, potentially including King Kong and Mechagodzilla.
With a wealth of new content on the horizon, the Fortnite community eagerly anticipates Epic Games' plans for the remainder of 2025.
