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 seems plausible. Further fueling speculation, rumors also point towards a possible Demon Slayer crossover.
The buzz started with a prominent Fortnite leaker revealing the potential Kaiju No. 8 collaboration. This news arrives hot on the heels of Fortnite's Chapter 6 Season 1, which introduces Godzilla as a battle pass character (not available in the Item Shop). The game recently concluded its Winterfest event and launched its first major 2025 update, introducing new cosmetics and gameplay changes, including the ability to use Fortnite Festival instruments as back blings and pickaxes. A new local co-op mode for Fortnite Festival has also been added.
The Kaiju No. 8 anime, based on a popular manga, debuted in 2024 with a second season slated for 2025. The story follows Kafka Hibino, who gains kaiju-transforming abilities after an unusual encounter. His life becomes intertwined with an organization dedicated to eliminating these giant monsters. A Fortnite crossover would place Kaiju No. 8 alongside other successful anime collaborations like Dragon Ball Z.
More Than Just Kaiju No. 8?
Beyond Kaiju No. 8, multiple leakers hint at a potential Demon Slayer crossover for Fortnite. While details remain scarce for both anime collaborations, speculation abounds. Many fans anticipate new cosmetics in the Item Shop, while others hope for in-game map representation of characters from both franchises.
Additional leaks suggest the arrival of more MonsterVerse characters to join Godzilla, potentially including King Kong and Mechagodzilla. With a plethora of exciting content on the horizon, Fortnite players eagerly anticipate Epic Games' plans for the remainder of 2025.
