Fortnite leakers have once again stirred up excitement within the community, hinting at a potential collaboration featuring iconic kaiju King Kong and the popular manga series, Kaiju No. 8. These rumors follow the successful integration of Godzilla into the game, suggesting a growing trend of monstrous additions to the battle royale.
The leaks, originating from reputable sources like Dr Cacahuette and iFireMonkey, showcase 3D models of King Kong, seemingly based on his appearance in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. While rumors of King Kong’s arrival circulated following Godzilla’s debut, Epic Games has yet to offer official confirmation.
The potential inclusion of Kaiju No. 8 content comes as a surprise, yet aligns with the emerging kaiju theme. Leakers uncovered a pickaxe codenamed “Sure Bamboo,” bearing a striking resemblance to aesthetics from the manga. This discovery suggests that a Kaiju No. 8-themed skin might accompany the pickaxe.
It’s crucial to approach these leaks with caution, as even reliable leakers aren’t infallible. Official confirmation from Epic Games remains essential before celebrating. However, the Godzilla precedent lends credibility to the King Kong rumors. The kaiju connection further strengthens the possibility of Kaiju No. 8‘s inclusion, especially given Epic Games’ history of anime crossovers in Fortnite.
The current Fortnite season concludes on February 21, 2025, providing an opportune window for new skin releases alongside the next season’s launch. While fans await official news, the leaked King Kong models have already sparked humorous reactions online, particularly regarding the separate head and body design and the character’s facial expression.
Should these leaks prove accurate, the addition of King Kong and Kaiju No. 8 would mark a thrilling continuation of the kaiju theme. The prospect of further additions from the Godzilla and King Kong universes opens exciting possibilities for future collaborations. Imagine a squad featuring Godzilla, King Kong, Kaiju No. 8, and perhaps even Mothra, descending from the Battle Bus! The potential for epic kaiju showdowns in Fortnite is undeniable.
The integration of kaiju into Fortnite seems a natural fit, expanding the game’s already diverse roster of collaborations. As fans eagerly anticipate official announcements, these leaks offer a tantalizing glimpse into the potential future of monster mayhem in the battle royale arena.
