A prominent Fortnite leaker recently hinted at an exciting crossover between the battle royale game and the anime series Kaiju No. 8. Fans of colossal creatures have much to look forward to, as Godzilla will be available in Fortnite starting January 17. To get their hands on the iconic character, players will need to purchase the battle pass for Chapter 6 Season 1, since Godzilla's cosmetics will not be available in the Item Shop.
Fortnite has just wrapped up its annual Winterfest event and launched its first major update for 2025. This update brought new cosmetics and various changes to the game. Notably, players can now use instruments from Fortnite Festival as back blings and pickaxes. Additionally, instruments previously exclusive to the battle royale mode can now be used in the music-driven Fortnite Festival. Epic Games also introduced a local co-op mode for Fortnite Festival, offering players a fresh way to interact with the game. These enhancements come alongside numerous rumors about upcoming features and collaborations.
In a recent Twitter post, the well-known leaker HYPEX suggested that Epic Games might be planning a collaboration with Kaiju No. 8. The story of Kaiju No. 8 revolves around Kafka Hibino, who gains the ability to transform into a kaiju after ingesting a parasitic creature. His journey is complicated by his destiny to join an organization dedicated to eliminating these monsters. Originally a manga, Kaiju No. 8 was adapted into an anime in 2024, with a second season slated for 2025. If the leaks are accurate, Kaiju No. 8 will join the ranks of other anime like Dragon Ball Z in Fortnite.
In addition to Kaiju No. 8, multiple leakers have hinted at a possible Demon Slayer crossover coming to Fortnite. While both anime collaborations are rumored to be imminent, specifics on what players can expect remain unclear. Many speculate that new cosmetics will be available in the Item Shop, but there's also hope for in-game representations of characters from both series on the map.
Leakers have also teased the potential addition of more MonsterVerse characters, such as King Kong and Mechagodzilla, to accompany Godzilla in Fortnite. With a wealth of new content on the horizon, players are eagerly anticipating what Epic Games has in store for the remainder of 2025.
