It's the most wonderful time of the year in Fortnite. Winterfest arrives today, bringing plenty of holiday cosmetics to the game, as well as the first Wizarding World of Harry Potter collab. We don't care so much about that as what is expected to arrive this weekend, though. Who needs Harry Potter when a beloved anime is getting a fairly extensive Fortnite collab?
Bleach will arrive in the Fortnite shop on Saturday, according to a teaser from Epic Games. The collab is believed to include four skins pulled directly from the series: Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Orihime Inoue, and Uryū Ishida. While it has yet to be confirmed how players can obtain all the Bleach content, noted leaker SplushFNBR claims that everything will be included in a single shop bundle.
Beyond the skins, we have some idea of what else will be in that purported bundle, as SplushFNBR goes on to note that the bundle will also include four pickaxes, four back blings, two emotes, and a single wrap.
Epic is also rumored to be adding special Bleach items as weapons to Fortnite, according to leaker HypeX. Battle Royale will see the addition of Mythical weapons the Fully-Hollowfied Ichigo Mask, which fires some form of projectile, and the Dual Zangetsu, a sword and dagger that also fires projectiles. Additionally, according to leaker ShiinaBR, Ichigo's Zanpakuto blade will be added to Blitz mode.
While the details of the cosmetics being added to the game haven't been confirmed by Epic Games, these leakers have a solid track record. And that's great news, given everything else they say is coming to Winterfest, from Batman Beyond skins to a Santa-fied version of Sabrina Carpenter to even a Baby Groot sidekick from Guardians of the Galaxy. And let's be honest, any of that's better than generic skins wearing Harry Potter robes.
Fortnite's Winterfest is on now and will run until Jan. 5, 2026.
