Fortnite’s monster-verse expansion continues to grow as the game officially teased its collaboration with the hit anime series Kaiju No. 8 on January 24th, 2025, through its X page. The teaser arrives alongside Godzilla’s January 17th debut, suggesting a monster-focused direction for Chapter 6 Season 1. Here is everything we know so far about the latest monster that is going to join the Battle Royale!
What is Kaiju No. 8?
For those new to the series, Kaiju No. 8 is an anime that follows Kafka Hibino, a cleanup worker who gains the ability to transform into a powerful kaiju (monster). Despite his transformation ability, he joins the Anti-Kaiju Defense Force, creating an interesting conflict as the organization aims to eliminate creatures like him.
Fortnite’s post on their X account features a silhouette resembling Kafka Hibino’s kaiju form. The white outline against the turquoise background closely matches Kafka’s monster design from the manga and anime, with its elongated shape and unique head structure.
From this tweet, Fortnite’s latest collaboration is looking like it would be a monster-themed extravaganza, starting with Godzilla’s arrival as part of the Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass. Recent leaks also hint at Kong appearing soon!
