Kafka Hibino in Fortnite



Fortnite is no stranger to anime crossover events, with the likes of Dragon Ball Super, Attack on Titan, and Jujutsu Kaisen. Now, we're getting yet another anime debut with the Kaiju No. 8 x Fortnite collab.




Here's what you can expect with this crossover, including a potential release date, skins, and weapons.




When will Fortnite x Kaiju No. 8 come out?




Currently, there is no set release date for Fortnite x Kaiju No. 8. Given that Chapter 6, Season 1 is celebrating the monstrous theme of Godzilla, it will likely arrive soon. Many consider Godzilla the original kaiju, so it would make sense to have the Kaiju No. 8 collab while the event's going on.

It isn't clear if Kaiju No. 8 will have an in-game event like the Godzilla boss. At the most, it could solely be associated with new items in the shop. I'll be sure to check on any updates to see when an official date arrives. Hopefully, it'll be available before Chapter 6, Season 1's conclusion, seemingly ending around Feb. 21.




All skins in Fortnite x Kaiju No. 8




The Fortnite x Kaiju No. 8 trailer confirms the following skins for the crossover:





  • Kafka Hibino



  • Reno Ichikawa



  • Kikoru Shinomiya




Our main man, Kafka Hibino, takes point in the upcoming Fortnite collab, where he can transform into his kaiju form. Kafka's fellow Defense Force ally, Reno Ichikawa, will also be joining him, helping out in the fight against the monsters or, in this case, other players. Last but not least is Kikoru Shinomiya, another elite member of the Defense Force. Here's a sneak peek into what their skins will look like in Fortnite:

What weapons will be included in Fortnite x Kaiju No. 8?




Various weapons were briefly shown during the Fortnite trailer, in which you can spot these tools:





  • Standard Kaiju Defense Force Rifle



  • Kikoru Shinomiya's Battle Axe



  • Kaiju No. 8-inspired Scythe



  • Dual Pickaxes




Throughout the snippet, we see the team wielding a rifle that resembles the Defense Force's weaponry. Those who watch the anime or read the manga may have also noticed Kikoru Shinomiya's iconic Battle Axe. If it's anything like Kaiju No. 8, the axe may include a shockwave feature to stun enemies.

The rest of the weapon collection is still a bit of a mystery, so we'll need to wait for more information to see what they offer.
