A Fortnite Bleach collab has been announced and is coming soon to the Epic Games battle royale. However, skins for the crossover leaked early online after players discovered marketing material in Japan. Here is the Fortnite x Bleach release date and every cosmetic item rumored so far.
When Is Bleach Coming to Fortnite? (Fortnite x Bleach Release Date)
Although the Fortnite x Bleach collaboration was initially teased by dataminers last week, Epic Games officially confirmed the crossover in a December 14 trailer. The short clip featured artwork from the anime, as well as Ichigo Kurosaki’s iconic sword. However, the surprise trailer also revealed when the Bleach cosmetic items would be coming to the battle royale.
According to Epic Games, the Fortnite Bleach skins release date is Saturday, December 20, 2025. This is interesting because it means that the Bleach outfits will likely be a part of Fortnite Winterfest 2025, which is rumored to go live this week. If true, it could end up being one of the event’s first major crossovers featured in the game’s Item Shop.
For your convenience, here is when the Fortnite Bleach collab releases in every region:

All Fortnite Bleach Skins Leaked So Far
Unlike previous crossovers that were leaked early by dataminers, the Bleach collab was reportedly discovered by a player who spotted marketing material while traveling. Yes, you read that right. The Fortnite x Bleach skins were revealed by user ‘NaNa1227TY’ on X. The account claims they found a poster for the Fortnite cosmetic items at a local train station in Japan.
While the images look legit, it’s always important to take this with a grain of salt. However, several prominent dataminers are now reporting which Bleach characters will be coming to the game’s item shop on December 20 and it lines up with the image. If true, the Winterfest 2025 collaboration will feature four Bleach skins for purchase:
- Ichigo Kurosaki
- Rukia Kuchiki
- Orihime Inoue
- Uryū Ishida
The Fortnite Bleach skins will likely be sold individually or in a discounted bundle. According to dataminer HypeX, there could be a “Number One” Jam Track, as well as “multiple vehicle cosmetic items and more.” So we could also get back bling’s, pickaxes, and additional items for each character. As far as pricing goes, it’s impossible to know before release.
However, based on the Power Rangers bundle that was released in August, I would expect the Bleach bundle to range from 3,000 to 3,400 V-Bucks. That said, it could be cheaper or more expensive depending on how many additional cosmetic items are released alongside the skins. Regardless, the Fortnite x Bleach collab will go live starting December 20. If you an anime fan, it’s time to save up!
