Epic Games ve Fortnite, Kaiju No. 8 ile İş Birliği Yaptı: Eşya Mağazasındaki Yeni Kozmetikler

Epic Games has unveiled an exciting new collaboration between Fortnite and the popular anime and manga series Kaiju No. 8. This partnership introduces a bundle of cosmetics inspired by Kaiju No. 8 to Fortnite's Item Shop, available until February 1.

Fortnite continues to solidify its status as a hub for pop-culture crossovers. Its extensive library of collaborations spans popular films, games, anime, and cartoons, featuring skins from franchises like Dragon Ball, Avatar, and Family Guy. The latest addition to this roster is Kaiju No. 8, bringing an array of themed content to the game.

What’s Included in the Kaiju No. 8 Bundle?

This crossover adds a special Kaiju No. 8 bundle to Fortnite, featuring playable skins, pickaxes, back bling, emotes, and wraps inspired by the series. Based on the manga by Naoya Matsumoto, Kaiju No. 8 follows Japan's Anti-Kaiju Defense Force, a team of elite soldiers tasked with defeating massive monsters threatening the country. The story's protagonist, Kafka Hibino, gains the ability to transform into a powerful humanoid Kaiju and uses his newfound strength to join the Defense Force and pursue his lifelong dream.

The bundle includes skins of key Third Division members: Kafka Hibino, Reno Ichikawa, and Kikoru Shinomiya. Each character is dressed in their Anti-Kaiju Defense Force combat suits, which are crafted from Kaiju materials to enhance their strength for battling these gigantic creatures. Over time, the characters' suits evolve into more specialized designs as the series progresses.

Cosmetic Highlights

• Back Bling: Kafka’s broken Kaiju No. 8 mask, Kikoru’s gear bag, and Reno’s glowing green vials of ice-element ammunition.
• Pickaxes: Designs inspired by Kikoru’s massive battleaxe, Kafka’s Kaiju form, and Reno’s ice-based powers.
• Emote: A special animation showing the spirit of Kaiju No. 8 hovering over the character.
• Wrap: A weapon skin featuring a pattern based on Kaiju No. 8's appearance.

Fan Reactions

The collaboration has been met with widespread enthusiasm, thanks to the popularity of Kaiju No. 8. Fans have praised the bundle’s release, especially with the timing ahead of the second season of Kaiju No. 8, set to debut in July 2025. However, some fans expressed disappointment over the absence of other beloved characters like Mina Ashiro and Gen Narumi, hoping they might appear in future updates.

This crossover not only introduces unique cosmetics to Fortnite but also celebrates the growing influence of anime in gaming. Fans of both Fortnite and Kaiju No. 8 have much to look forward to!
