The popular anime, Solo Leveling, has been confirmed by leakers to be heading to Fortnite. And it’s happening sooner than you think.
Fortnite has shown time and time again that a big priority of theirs (when it comes to collaborations) is anime. Since their first ever anime collaboration back in 2021 (and yes, it was Naruto), the game has consistently been teaming up with some of the biggest anime of all time. And yes, as you probably expected, Solo Leveling is coming to the game.
However, it is happening sooner than you may have expected.
Solo Leveling to join Fortnite within next 2 months
Leaked by popular leakers, including HYPEX (who is incredibly reputable on Twitter), the official news that a Solo Leveling x Fortnite collaboration is happening hit this morning (Jan 13, 2026). While many leakers often just hear the news that eventually a specific collaboration will be happening, this time the leakers learned that a Solo Leveling collaboration will be joining the game within the next seasons.
And, better yet, we know that season two is only going to be around 56 days, meaning we will see this collaboration drop within the game within the next two months.
Solo Leveling has created quite a bit of excitement across the anime community due to its heavy amounts of action and unique story telling (it’s basically a world where MMORPGs exist in real life).
In fact, a Fortnite collaboration with the anime has been talked about and longed for by many players, as its had quite a bit of popularity since it first aired a few years back. Well, with confirmation that a Solo Leveling movie will be hitting theaters in late 2026, it seems as if Fortnite is ready to capitalize on a partnership with the anime.
Movie happening in 2026
While it is quite surprising that Fortnite did not capitalize on a Solo Leveling collaboration back during its first or second season, due to how popular the show is, it makes sense as to why they are finally joining the game in 2026.
Just a few months ago, the popular anime confirmed a movie to release during the later half of 2026. This is primarily due to the fact that the Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man movie did so well. In fact, the Chainsaw Man movie was just announced to have the highest rating on Letterbox for a movie released in 2025.
So, with anime beginning to take over the movie market, we should expect to see many more anime turn arcs into films.
