Epic Games confirms Jujutsu Kaisen crossover with Fortnite

This crossover into Japanese animation later extended to Dragon Ball Super, which not only brought four new skins into the fold but also introduced additional gear, islands, and the iconic Kamehameha as an in-game mythic item. Soo after came a worthy successor, My Hero Academia, offering new skins and the coveted One For All power as a mythic in-game item. The addition of Attack on Titan's Eren Yeager through exclusive Battle Pass quests, coupled with the implementation of ODM gear for quicker travel, marked a trend in the increasingly nuanced integration of these franchises into Fortnite's gameplay mechanics.

The crossover with Jujutsu Kaisen was hinted at when dataminers unearthed images of bundles featuring character skins as well as anime-inspired accessories, notably of Nobara, Megumi, and Gojo. The new leak suggests that all of them will come with a backbling, while Megumi and Nobara are expected to have a pickaxe. Moreover, Megumi will have some emotes, mimicking the hand puppet gestures seen in the teaser trailer.

While the precise cost for this latest Fortnite Crossover isn't yet official, based on previous collaborations, a 5,000 V-Bucks bundle should be sufficient. For those keen to invest in future events, a bundle of 13,500 V-Bucks could be a prudent purchase.

Fortnite's collaborations are part of its ingenious strategy to continually refresh its universe. Aside from Japanese anime, it recently welcomed iconic figures from other franchises, such as the Transformers' Optimus Prime, Star Wars characters, and Futurama.

Fortnite's incoming collaboration with Jujutsu Kaisen, scheduled for release with patch v25.30 on August 8, demonstrates a commitment to evolving its gaming experience.

For fans of Jujutsu Kaisen, the plotline has been a roller-coaster journey of action, intrigue, and supernatural horror with its brilliant mix of traditional folklore and contemporary sensibilities.

The entrance of these sorcerers into the virtual battleground of Fortnite will open the door for players to experience a taste of the show's unique magic firsthand while providing a fresh twist to their gameplay.

Speaking of Fortnite, developers are already making new games in Fortnite like Look North World, a studio made up of industry veterans, including the co-creator of Halo.
