Fortnite is yet again being hit by a new and exciting anime rumour, as Fortnite fans are now speculating that Epic Games might be working on another huge anime crossover, this time being with Chainsaw Man.
No official news has been made on the potential crossover, but it has definitely turned into a hot topic for Fortnite players as well as anime fans. The rumours were posted by several Fortnite leakers on Twitter/X, where they mention that they have heard of a possible Chainsaw Man crossover potentially occurring in the future.
What the rumour says so far
So far there's not much information to go off of and no in-game assets or files have been leaked to the public yet. Based on previous Fortnite crossovers and Chainsaw Man's popularity, there are a few characters that are being heavily speculated.
Possible characters could include:
- Denji, the series’ protagonist and Chainsaw Man himself
- Power, a fan-favourite Blood Fiend
- Aki Hayakawa, known for his more grounded and serious role
- Makima, one of the most recognisable and controversial characters
Why Chainsaw Man fits Fortnite’s crossover strategy
Chainsaw Man is an ongoing manga series written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto and animated by MAPPA. A series that, in recent years, has built quite a reputation among fans of anime and manga.
Delivering on gore, dark comedy, and iconic character designs, Chainsaw Man has established itself as one of the biggest and most popular anime series in recent years. This makes it a solid pick for the Epic Games battle royale as part of their cosmetic-driven crossovers.
Epic Games has leaned heavily into anime crossovers in recent years, successfully partnering with franchises such as:
- Naruto
- Dragon Ball
- Attack on Titan
- Jujutsu Kaisen
- Bleach
No word from Epic Games so far
It bears repeating that this is, of course, still a rumour. Epic Games has not responded to the report and neither have the rights holders for Chainsaw Man. Players should keep that in mind and take the report with a grain of salt until an official announcement is made or credible in-game evidence is found.
On the other hand, Fortnite is constantly updated and is also known to drop hints about collaborations mere hours before they happen. We could see confirmation or debunking at any moment.
