Fortnite Chapter 7 has only just begun, but leaks are already hinting at massive anime collaborations — Bleach.
According to several reliable data miners, Epic Games is preparing to bring Ichigo Kurosaki and other fan-favorite Soul Reapers into the battle royale, continuing the trend of high-profile anime crossovers that have defined recent seasons.

Release Window
While Epic Games has not confirmed an exact date, the Bleach collaboration is expected to arrive during Chapter 7 Season 1, which runs until March 4, 2026.
What to Expect
If previous anime events are any indication, this crossover will deliver more than just skins. Players can look forward to:
Character Outfits: Classic Shinigami robes and possible Arrancar variants.
Music & Emotes: Bleach-inspired tracks and themed emotes to match the anime’s style.
Mythic Items: Speculation suggests a Bankai ability could be introduced, with players finding Zanpakutōs on the island.
As per reports by trusted leakers such as SamLeakss and HYPEX, the collaboration will also feature the iconic Bleach soundtrack “Number One – Bankai” as a Jam Track.
Rumored Characters
Although the official roster remains under wraps, leaks suggest cosmetics and music tied to several key characters. The community is already speculating about:
Ichigo Kurosaki
Rukia Kuchiki
Byakuya Kuchiki
Renji Abarai
Other names like Kenpachi, Urahara, Aizen, and Yhwach have also been mentioned, though nothing is confirmed.
Context and Impact
Fortnite has built a strong reputation for anime collaborations, with Naruto, Dragon Ball, and Jujutsu Kaisen all making successful appearances. According to HYPEX, the Bleach crossover could rival those events in scale, especially since the anime itself is experiencing a revival with the final cour of the Thousand-Year Blood War arc airing in 2026.
