Fortnite is set to close out 2025 with one of its most requested anime collaborations yet. Epic Games has officially confirmed a Fortnite x Bleach crossover, bringing iconic characters from the long-running anime series to the Battle Royale island. The collaboration will launch during Winterfest 2025, positioning it as one of the event’s headline cosmetic drops.

After years of fan demand, Bleach now joins the growing list of anime franchises featured in Fortnite, following successful partnerships with Dragon Ball, Naruto, My Hero Academia, and Attack on Titan.

Here is everything confirmed so far.

Fortnite x Bleach release date and timings

The Fortnite Bleach collaboration will go live on Saturday, December 20, 2025. The cosmetics will be released through the Item Shop as part of the daily shop rotation.



Expected release timings by region include:

• North America (ET): 7:00 PM, December 20
• North America (PT): 4:00 PM, December 20
• UK (GMT): 12:00 AM, December 21
• Europe (CET): 1:00 AM, December 21
• Japan (JST): 9:00 AM, December 21
• Australia (AEST): 10:00 AM, December 21

As with most collaborations, the skins are expected to remain available for a limited time during Winterfest.

All confirmed Bleach characters coming to Fortnite

Epic Games’ teaser and multiple credible leaks confirm that the initial wave of the crossover will feature four major Bleach characters:

• Ichigo Kurosaki
• Rukia Kuchiki
• Orihime Inoue
• Uryu Ishida

Each character will reportedly come with a themed back bling and matching pickaxe inspired by their abilities and equipment from the anime.

Ichigo’s iconic sword Zangetsu has been teased heavily and is expected to appear as a pickaxe. While a mythic Zangetsu weapon has been speculated, Epic has not yet confirmed whether it will be usable in standard Battle Royale gameplay.

Fortnite Bleach bundle and expected pricing

Based on early leaks and previous anime collaborations, pricing is expected to follow Fortnite’s usual structure:

• Individual skins: Around 1,500 V-Bucks each
• Pickaxes: Approximately 800 V-Bucks
• Gliders or emotes: Between 500-1,200 V-Bucks

A full Bleach bundle containing all four skins and their cosmetics is expected to be priced at around 3,500 V-Bucks, though final pricing will be confirmed at launch.

There are also reports of additional cosmetics, including a possible Jam Track and vehicle-themed items tied to the crossover.

The Bleach crossover represents one of Fortnite’s most anticipated anime partnerships to date. Fans have requested Bleach content for years, and its arrival during Winterfest ensures maximum visibility and engagement.

With iconic characters, recognizable weapons, and strong nostalgia value, Fortnite x Bleach is expected to be one of the standout cosmetic releases of the holiday season. More details may be revealed closer to December 20, including full bundle previews and gameplay tie-ins.
