The excitement around Fortnite continues to build as leaks suggest a potential crossover with Kaiju No. 8. Known for its colossal creatures, Kaiju No. 8 is a hugely popular anime series, so merging it with Fortnite is a logical step. Rumors also hint that characters from Demon Slayer might soon join the Fortnite universe.
Recently, a well-known Fortnite leaker speculated about this anime infusion, which has fans buzzing. Just as players were getting ready to welcome Godzilla into the game on January 17, the news of Kaiju No. 8 comes in. To unleash Godzilla’s might in battle, players will need to have the battle pass for Chapter 6 Season 1, since these cosmetics won’t be hitting the Item Shop.
As Fortnite wraps up its Winterfest celebration and rolls out its initial major update of 2025, Epic Games is shaking up the dynamics. New cosmetics are being introduced, and interestingly, back blings and pickaxes inspired by Fortnite Festival instruments are now usable. They’ve also unlocked the use of instruments from the battle royale within their music-focused mode. Moreover, Fortnite Festival now supports a local co-op mode, adding another layer of enjoyment for players. Alongside these developments, the community is abuzz with rumors about upcoming features and collaborations.
On social media, the reliable leaker HYPEX teased that Epic Games might be planning a collaboration with Kaiju No. 8. This anime tale centers on Kafka Hibino, a man thrown into chaos after gaining the ability to transform into a kaiju following an encounter with a parasitic creature. As he grapples with his new identity, he becomes entwined with a group intent on eliminating these very monsters. Starting as a manga, Kaiju No. 8 transitioned into an anime in 2024 with a second season on the horizon for 2025. Should the rumors bear fruit, Kaiju No. 8 will join the ranks of other anime giants like Dragon Ball Z in Fortnite.
But that’s not all. Alongside the Kaiju buzz, speculators are whispering about a Demon Slayer crossover. While it’s still unclear what these collaborations might entail, there’s speculation that new cosmetics will flood the Item Shop, and perhaps characters might even integrate into Fortnite’s world.
Additionally, the MonsterVerse may expand in the game with possible new entries. Leaks suggest that King Kong and Mechagodzilla may soon join Godzilla, offering players a suite of exciting new cosmetics. With so many thrilling possibilities, players eagerly anticipate what’s coming next in Fortnite throughout 2025.
