Fortnite's Potential Kaiju No. 8 Crossover: Leaks and Speculation
Recent leaks suggest a highly anticipated crossover between the popular battle royale game, Fortnite, and the acclaimed anime series, Kaiju No. 8. Given Kaiju No. 8's current global popularity, such a collaboration would be a logical and exciting move for Epic Games. Adding to the anticipation, rumors also point towards a potential Demon Slayer crossover.
The buzz began with a prominent Fortnite leaker, HYPEX, hinting at the Kaiju No. 8 partnership. This follows the already announced arrival of Godzilla on January 17th, obtainable through the Chapter 6 Season 1 battle pass. This influx of monster-themed content is generating significant excitement among players.
Fortnite's recent post-Winterfest update, which included new cosmetics and gameplay improvements like utilizing Fortnite Festival instruments as back blings and pickaxes, has further fueled speculation about upcoming collaborations. The introduction of a local co-op mode for Fortnite Festival adds another layer to the game's evolving content.
HYPEX's leak focuses on the narrative of Kaiju No. 8, which centers on Kafka Hibino, a young man who gains kaiju-transforming abilities after encountering a parasitic creature. His subsequent involvement with a monster-eliminating organization forms the core of the manga-turned-anime series (with season 2 slated for 2025). A successful crossover would place Kaiju No. 8 alongside other popular anime franchises already featured in Fortnite, such as Dragon Ball Z.
Beyond Kaiju No. 8, persistent rumors suggest a Demon Slayer crossover is also in the works. While details remain scarce, many fans anticipate new cosmetics in the Item Shop, and some even hope for map additions representing characters from both anime.
Further fueling the speculation, leaks indicate the potential addition of more MonsterVerse characters beyond Godzilla, including King Kong and Mechagodzilla. With this wave of new content and crossovers on the horizon, the Fortnite community eagerly awaits Epic Games' next announcements for 2025.
