For their upcoming crossover,Fortniteannounced that it’s releasing aJujutsu Kaisenskin line. In a Twitter video, the game showed two characters doing shadow puppets on the wall, which then turned into cursed beasts. The wall then breaks, and reveals sorcerer protagonists Satoru Gojo, Megumi Fushiguro, Yuji Itadori, and Nobara Kugisaki. In a follow-up tweet,Fortniterevealed that theJujutsu Kaisencollab will drop in version 25.30, which is believed to roll out next week.
ManyFortnitefans expressed their excitement for the skins, sharing that they couldn’t wait to play their favoriteJujutsu Kaisencharacters in the game. Meanwhile, a few started requesting forother anime collabs inFortnite, such asDemon SlayerandChainsaw Man.
Fortnite’sJujutsu Kaisencrossover comes at an opportune time as the anime premiered its second season, where a portion of it focuses onGojo’s backstory. Although the game hasn’t revealed if the update would include exclusiveJujutsu Kaisen-inspired cosmetics and weapons, the trailer did show Yuji using his cursed energy and Nobara’s metal hammer and nails. It would be interesting to see ifFortnitewould incorporate these abilities, and if they would be just as broken as Goku’s Kamehameha from theDragon Ballcrossover.
According to some leakers, the battle royale game is said to have more fun crossovers coming in the future, but many of them don’t have release dates yet. One such leaked collab wasFortnitexDoctor Who, which is reportedly still in the works and coming later this year. Of course,Fortnitefans would have to take these rumors with a grain of salt for now since Epic Games could still make changes between now and then.
Fortniteis available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
