When Is the Fortnite x Bleach Collaboration Releasing?

It looks like Bleach is about to slice its way into Fortnite. The long‑rumored crossover is now almost confirmed, lining up with the upcoming Winterfest 2025 event. While Epic Games hasn’t dropped a full announcement yet, skins leaked online after players spotted marketing material in Japan. So yes, the hype is real.

When Is Bleach Coming to Fortnite?

The collab was first teased by dataminers last week, but Epic pretty much confirmed it in a December 14 trailer. The short clip featured anime artwork and Ichigo Kurosaki’s iconic sword. Even better, the trailer revealed the release date: Saturday, December 20, 2025. That timing makes it highly likely the Bleach cosmetics will be part of Winterfest (starting on December 18), potentially one of the event’s first big crossovers in the Item Shop.

All Fortnite Bleach Skins Leaked So Far

Unlike most leaks that come from datamining, this one was spotted in the wild. A user named NaNa1227TY shared images on X after finding a Bleach poster at a train station in Japan. Since then, several well‑known dataminers have backed up the leak, reporting that four characters are expected to arrive:

• Ichigo Kurosaki

• Rukia Kuchiki

• Orihime Inoue

• Uryū Ishida

The skins will likely be sold individually or bundled at a discount. Dataminer HypeX also hinted at extras, including a “Number One” Jam Track, new vehicle cosmetics, and themed back blings and pickaxes. Pricing hasn’t been confirmed, but based on past anime collabs, expect the bundle to land somewhere around 3,000–3,400 V‑Bucks.

With this collab, Bleach joins the growing roster of anime crossovers in Fortnite, standing alongside Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Attack on Titan. For those unfamiliar, Bleach ran from 2004 to 2012, following Ichigo Kurosaki as he gains supernatural powers and battles across eight years of episodes. The manga, which started earlier, spans 74 volumes for fans who want to dive deeper.

While Epic is keeping some details under wraps, players won’t have to wait long. The Fortnite x Bleach collab kinda officially hits the Item Shop on December 20, 2025, just two days after Winterfest 2025 begins.
