Fortnite reportedly set to crossover with popular manga/anime series Bleach

Fortnite is easily the single game with the greatest number of franchise crossovers, with the free-to-play live-service juggernaut having collabed with countless IPs across all forms of media. Following the likes of Dragon Ball, Naruto, Attack on Titan, Jujutsu Kaisen and more, Fortnite’s next anime-themed crossover is reportedly with one of the ‘Big 3’ – Bleach.

As discovered by SamLeakss and corroborated by known Fortnite leaker HYPEX, a crossover between Fortnite and Bleach is set to take place in Early 2026, likely as part of the ongoing Chapter 7 Season 1.

Alongside One Piece and Naruto, Bleach was typically seen as being one of the ‘Big 3’ shonen anime from its era. Though the series fell off partway through its airing (leading to a premature cancellation), the franchise came back bigger and better than ever with the ongoing release of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War.

Previous anime crossovers have taken quite varying forms. While the likes of the Dragon Ball collab saw parts of the map altered and new mechanics added to fit in with the crossover, Naruto’s primarily added purchasable skins (as well as a community-made Hidden Leaf Village map).

What form this Bleach crossover will take is currently unknown. That said, hopefully at the very least we will get to wield the show’s iconic ‘Zanpakutō’ Soul Cutters.
