A teaser and subsequent tournament image has provided a first look at the Solo Leveling Fortnite skins. Here’s everything to catch you up!

Solo Leveling is the next anime IP coming to Fortnite in a collaboration teased earlier this week. While leaks regarding this crossover date back as early as March 2025, we now have some concrete details and a first look at the Solo Leveling skins coming to the game.

Although only Sung Jin-Woo and Igris's skins have emerged via Epic Games, we expect the remaining character, presumably Cha Hae-In, to appear at some point in the coming days. Here's the latest on this collaboration.

First look at Sung Jin-Woo and Igris in Fortnite

Fortnite posted a teaser confirming that this crossover is with the game Solo Leveling: ARISE, rather than the anime itself. The 15-second clip showcases Sung Jin-Woo and his right-hand man, Igris. It appears as though Sung Jin-Woo is summoning Igris, whom we have a less clear picture of based on the lower quality.

Regardless, that confirms Igris rather than Beru as the third character in the Solo Leveling collaboration. Not long after the teaser drop, an image for a Solo Leveling Fortnite tournament provided a better look at Sung Jin-Woo. It also confirmed the "Statue of God" as this character's Back Bling.

This is the clearest view thus far of the Solo Leveling Fortnite skins, which also revealed a method to unlock Sung Jin-Woo for free.

When are the Solo Leveling skins dropping into Fortnite?

According to leaker iFireMonkey, the Solo Leveling: ARISE Cup will occur on Thursday, Feb. 19. This is a Solo tournament open to all players who meet certain specifications, where the top players in each region will unlock the Sung Jin-Woo skin early.

With that said, all Solo Leveling Fortnite skins could land in the Item Shop on Feb. 20, 21, or 22. These tournaments typically provide players with the skins roughly three days early, as we saw in the KizunaAI Cup. Either way, the collab will likely drop sometime this weekend.

Here's a quick recap of everything we learned:

  • Solo Leveling teaser showcases Sung Jin-Woo and Igris
  • Leaked tournament image showcases a Back Bling and an unidentified cosmetic or in-game item
  • Solo Leveling: ARISE Cup will happen on Feb. 19
