The Next Fortnite Collab Will Reportedly Feature Bleach Characters

The Fortnite collabs look like they could be off to a strong start next year, with leaks suggesting that a Bleach crossover is coming. According to the leaks, it's set to launch in early 2026 during Chapter 7 Season 1. Since the season is set to end on March 4, the most likely release window is January or February.

First spotted by noted dataminer SamLeakss, the collab could feature not just a character skin but also Ichigo's theme, "Number One." So the skin seems likely to be Ichigo himself.

Fortnite has been packed with collaborations lately, incorporating characters and icons from various worlds. In the past year alone, players have seen crossovers with horror legend Ghost Face, the viral Skibidi Toilet meme, Metal Gear Solid's Snake, and even recent pop-culture giants like KPop Demon Hunters and Squid Game.

Anime crossovers have been especially popular with players. Fortnite has already teamed up with major series such as Naruto, Dragon Ball, Attack on Titan, and Jujutsu Kaisen, each bringing fan-favorite skins, themed items, and special gameplay features. With these collaborations being so successful, it makes sense that Epic Games would pursue another major anime name, such as Bleach. However, nothing is confirmed yet, so we'll have to wait until Epic Games officially announces the crossover.
