All expected, rumored, and confirmed Fortnite Collabs

1 – South Park collaboration – CONFIRMED & LIVE

This follows Fortnite’s recent trend of blending concerts, creators, and pop music into its ecosystem.

The Chainsaw Man collaboration is currently in development. While details remain limited, you can expect anime-styled character skins, emotes, and possibly cel-shaded cosmetics similar to earlier anime crossovers.

4 – Resident Evil: Requiem crossover window – EXPECTED

Capcom’s Resident Evil: Requiem is set to receive a Fortnite crossover around March 2026.

What’s expected

9 – Marvel Rival wave 2 – RUMORED

A rumored second Marvel wave tied to Marvel Rivals is said to be heading to Fortnite, spotlighting Luna Snow and Magik. This wave is expected to lean heavily into stylized, Rivals-inspired designs rather than comic-accurate defaults.

What’s rumored to be included:

  • Luna Snow Outfit with K-pop, ice, and music-reactive visual effects
  • Magik Outfit featuring demonic/portal-themed VFX and darker fantasy styling
  • Matching back blings, pickaxes, and emotes aligned with their Rivals aesthetics
  • Possible music or energy-reactive elements, especially for Luna Snow

10 – Paramount sidekick cosmetics – EXPECTED

A collaboration with Paramount focusing on companion-style cosmetics and themed bundles rather than full characters.

11 – James Bond Aston Martin DB5 – EXPECTED

The James Bond crossover brings the iconic Aston Martin DB5 into Fortnite as a vehicle cosmetic, expanding on its earlier appearance in Rocket League.

12 – One Piece Fortnite crossover – RUMORED

The One Piece collaboration is one of the most anticipated anime crossovers to date.

Expected inclusions

  • Monkey D. Luffy
  • Additional Straw Hat crew members
  • Anime-styled emotes and cosmetics

While no date is confirmed, this is positioned as a large-scale event rather than a simple Item Shop drop.

13 – Adventure Time characters wave 2 – EXPECTED

The Adventure Time crossover would expand Fortnite’s cartoon lineup.

Characters mentioned

  • Fionna
  • Ice King
  • Cake
  • Lemongrab

If confirmed, this would further cement Fortnite’s focus on animated IPs across age ranges.

14 – Fallout series crossover – EXPECTED

Based on the Fallout, Lucy is rumored as a playable skin, accompanied by wasteland-themed cosmetics.

15 – 28 Years Later cosmetic set – EXPECTED

Inspired by 28 Years Later, this rumored crossover focuses on horror-themed back bling and pickaxe items rather than full skins.

16 – Fortnite X Regular Show – EXPECTED

Fortnite is reportedly getting a Regular Show crossover, bringing beloved characters from the series into the game. Expected cosmetics include two main outfits, likely for Mordecai and Skips. Rigby — being smaller — is rumored to be included as a Sidekick accessory instead of a full playable outfit.

What we think of Fortnite’s 2026 collabs

Fortnite’s current roadmap shows a clear evolution. You’re seeing fewer one-off skins and more collaborations that influence gameplay systems, vehicles, music, and limited-time modes. Intricate animation, anime, horror, and creator culture now sit side by side — and that mix defines Fortnite’s modern identity.

If this roadmap holds, 2026 will be one of Fortnite’s most content-dense years yet. Whether you’re here for anime, cartoons, horror, or creator events, the variety ensures there’s always something new rotating into the island.
