Fortnite continues to dominate the crossover scene, and fans of the iconic anime Bleach are finally getting their wish. Epic Games has officially teased a collaboration with the supernatural series, bringing Soul Reapers and their epic battles to the Battle Royale island.
Crossovers have long been a cornerstone of Fortnite’s appeal, bringing pop culture icons into its vibrant world. Recent additions have ranged from horror staples like Ghost Face during Fortnitemares to viral sensations such as Skibidi Toilet.
Anime partnerships have been particularly massive hits, featuring heavyweights like Attack on Titan, Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Dragon Ball. Now, Bleach joins the fray, promising action with its Zanpakuto-wielding heroes.

Epic Games dropped a cryptic teaser trailer on the official Fortnite X account, confirming the Bleach crossover launches on December 20, 2025. This timing aligns perfectly with the start of the annual Winterfest event, setting the stage for festive Hollow hunting festivities.

Pricing remains under wraps, but these outfits will likely bundle with Back Blings, Emotes, or Pickaxes inspired by the series. They might drop all at once or roll out progressively. Additionally, the Jam Track Number One Bankai is rumoured to join the festivities, pumping up lobbies with Bleach’s intense soundtrack.
These details stem from reliable leaks, but official confirmation from Epic is imminent. Stay tuned as Winterfest unfolds more Bleach surprises could be lurking in the shadows.
