Jujutsu Kaisen Is Coming to Fortnite

Your favorite sorcerers from Jujutsu Kaisen are dropping into Fortnite.


Epic Games released the teaser trailer for the latest anime collaboration on Fortnite's official X (formerly Twitter) account Tuesday. The trailer shows Yuji, Megumi, Gojo, and Nobara scaring away Banana Man and Fishsticks with the Ten Shadows Technique cast by Megumi to turn their juvenile shadow puppets into terrifying shikigami and breaking through the wall to introduce themselves to the Fortnite world.


The teaser trailer for the Fortnite x Jujutsu Kaisen collaboration comes after leaks from dataminers unearthed images of bundle pages that showed skins of the characters (mainly Nobara, Megumi, and Gojo) and accessories inspired by the anime that would be coming to the game. The trailer corroborated the leaks, and Epic Games announced that the Jujutsu Kaisen bundles will be released into Fortnite in the Version 25.30 update.

Fortnite's collaboration with Jujutsu Kaisen also comes after the anime began airing its second season last month. For those who are new to the series, it follows Yuji Itadori as he enrolls in Jujutsu High School to become a Sorcerer to avoid death by exorcism after becoming cursed by a talisman finger he swallowed to protect his friends and a Sorcerer from the demon who held the same finger.

Jujutsu Kaisen is the latest media franchise to come to Fortnite after Terminator and Futurama, the latter of which began airing the 11th season and revival on Hulu last week. The Terminator collaboration features a skin based on T-800, while Futurama comes with skins based on Fry, Leela, and Bender.
