Bleach is the next anime set to arrive in Fortnite following leaks from within the scene. Here’s what you can expect and when!
Fortnite will reportedly add another popular Japanese anime IP to its repertoire with a Bleach collaboration within the next month. These rumors originated from well-known leakers within the scene. Although there isn't much information, we have a rough outline of what to expect when the crossover drops in early 2026.
What to expect with the Bleach x Fortnite collaboration
Joining the likes of Naruto, Jujitsu Kaisen, and Attack on Titan, among others, Bleach will soon become the latest anime to enter Fortnite. This information comes from Fortnite leaker SamLeakss, who has revealed numerous collaborations and other items over the game's long history.
According to the leak, there is no definitive release date at this point, but Epic Games has targeted early 2026 to drop the Bleach x Fortnite partnership. As for what to expect, the collab will include "at least one skin" and the song "Number One - Bankai," presumably as a Jam Track.
Depending on whether the rumors are true, the one skin would likely be Ichigo Kurosaki, the show's main protagonist. However, these details could change in the lead-up to the early 2026 release. Rocket League will also collaborate with Fortnite on Bleach, but the extent is unclear.
What is the anime all about?
Bleach began as a manga in 2001, then was adapted into an anime series in 2004. It follows the protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki, a high school student who can see ghosts. He eventually acquires soul reaper powers after encountering a "Hollow," an evil spirit that feasts on human souls.
Ichigo then makes it his mission to hunt down Hollows that plague his town. His next accomplishment could be arriving in Fortnite as part of the Bleach collaboration soon. Although it's early, keep an eye out for more details over the next few weeks.
There is a significant group of anime fans who will flood Fortnite to purchase whatever Bleach-related items arrive in the Item Shop. That's the power of Fortnite and anime as a collaboration.
