Fortnite is known for its extensive and diverse list of collaborations, ranging from movie franchises to other video games and even real-world events. However, when it comes to anime crossovers, the battle royale game has generally played it safe by sticking mainly to well-established Shonen Jump properties. These collaborations, which include skins and cosmetics based on beloved anime characters, have been fan favorites for years. But now, Fortnite may be breaking the mold and venturing into new territory with a potential Fortnite X Solo Leveling collaboration.
Recent leaks suggest that Fortnite could soon be teaming up with Solo Leveling, a wildly popular anime and webtoon series that has taken the anime community by storm. While this move would diverge from Fortnite’s typical Shonen Jump crossover route, Solo Leveling is anything but a risky choice. The anime series has garnered a massive global fanbase and is currently one of the most widely watched and talked about shows in the anime world. With the anime nearing the end of its second season, the time could be ripe for its characters to make an appearance in Fortnite.
Why Fortnite is Turning Its Attention to Solo Leveling
The Solo Leveling series, which started as a web novel before being adapted into a webtoon, has audiences worldwide. Its story, centered around the journey of protagonist Sung Jinwoo as he becomes the world’s strongest hunter, has resonated with viewers and readers alike. As the anime nears the conclusion of its second season, interest in the franchise continues to grow. This massive surge in popularity has likely caught the attention of Epic Games, leading to speculations about a Fortnite X Solo Leveling crossover.

The specifics of the collaboration are still under wraps, but it seems likely that Fortnite will release skins based on characters from the anime. As a result, we could soon see iconic characters like Sung Jinwoo and others make their way into Fortnite as part of this exciting new partnership.
When Will the Fortnite X Solo Leveling Crossover Arrive?
While the Solo Leveling collaboration is undeniably exciting, it looks like it may take some time before it hits Fortnite. According to leakers, the crossover is still in its early stages, and it’s unlikely to arrive during the current season. Fans may have to wait until a future season or possibly even until the release of the third season of the Solo Leveling anime to see this crossover come to life in Fortnite.
This delayed timeline could be due to a variety of factors, including licensing agreements and potential concerns about the setup of the collaboration. Unlike Fortnite’s past partnerships with the well-known Shonen Jump series, Solo Leveling may require different licensing arrangements, which could take longer to finalize. Despite these delays, the fact that the franchise has already appeared in Fortnite leaks is a positive sign that the collaboration is moving forward, even if it won’t be available right away.
What We Can Expect from Fortnite’s Solo Leveling Skins
As of now, there are no confirmed details about which characters from Solo Leveling will be featured in the Fortnite crossover. However, it’s safe to assume that the main protagonist, Sung Jinwoo, will likely be one of the first characters to appear as a skin in the game. Given the popularity of the character and his pivotal role in the anime, it would make sense for him to lead the charge in Fortnite’s Solo Leveling collaboration.
Additionally, the crossover could include other key characters from the Solo Leveling universe, as Fortnite is known for offering a variety of skins and cosmetics from its collaborations. Whether we see fan-favorite characters like Cha Hae-In or the powerful hunters from the Solo Leveling world remains to be seen. But one thing is certain – fans of both Fortnite and Solo Leveling are in for a treat when this crossover finally arrives.

While Fortnite has predominantly worked with major Shonen Jump titles in the past, the potential Solo Leveling collaboration opens the door to a wider range of anime partnerships. With its growing popularity and influence, Solo Leveling could pave the way for other anime franchises to join the Fortnite universe, giving players even more exciting skins and content to enjoy.
As always, Fortnite fans will need to stay tuned for official announcements regarding the collaboration, but with the increasing number of leaks pointing toward this crossover, it seems like it’s only a matter of time before Solo Leveling characters arrive in the game. In the meantime, players can continue to enjoy the current array of anime-themed skins and content available in Fortnite while eagerly anticipating this new collaboration.
