Epic Games loves collaborating with anime series Fortniteand this is no mystery to those who have constantly fought Goku, Naruto, Gojo and All Might in Battle Royale for years. Anime skins are clearly popular, so it makes sense that there will be even more of them. Next up is Bleach, a beloved series that started in 2004 and is currently airing a revival series that concludes the manga's story called Bleach: The Thousand-Year Blood War.
This is the first collaboration with Bleach, according to posters that have been spotted in the wildincludes four skins: Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Orihime Inoue and Uryu Ishida. And, presumably, at least one giant sword.
We do not have any details about the collaboration, which only became known Epic teases us rather than fully opened. But since this collaboration will be releasing during the holidays and the Fortnite Winter Festival, there's a good chance that Battle Royale, Blitz Royale, or Reload will have some sort of Bleach component added, since Fortnite has included a ton of Mythic weapons and abilities based on anime series in the past, especially later in the year.
Since Winterfest, which begins Thursday, offers two or more free skins to all players every year, it's possible that one of the Bleach skins will be free. There haven't been any real rumors about what the free Winter Festival skins will be, but with collaborations with Harry Potter, Home Alone and South Park expected in the near future, as well as leaks about new winter versions of Hatsune Miku and Sabrina Carpenter, there are too many possibilities to make an educated guess.
Bleach will be the fourth new Fortnite anime project in 2025, following Kaiju #9 in January, Cowboy Bebop in February and One Punch Man in August. We also got a wave of Jujutsu Kaisen villains in February.
