A colossal list of so-called Fortnite collaborations for 2025 was just thrown down. For all intents and purposes, it is insane. The leak, issued from one of those warmer and trusted sources, ShiinaBR, is sending the whole community into a frenzied uproar for a good cause. From K-Pop Demon Hunters to Jason Voorhees, we are looking at a mix of everything. Too much to absorb? Let’s jump right in.
The list itself goes simple but totally random-a kind of a list an Epic would put up for Fortnite. And here’s what is allegedly in the works: KPop Demon Hunters, an Unknown Festival S12 Artist, Sonic & Shadow (although just back bling, really? The “Kicks” part is confusing), The Simpsons, Jason Voorhees, Scooby-Doo, Ghostface, MrSavage (the pro player), Daft Punk, and a certain R.E.P.O. whose meaning might be leaving impressions on your mind. Basically, what Epic has ended up branding as a mixture of very much requested stuff and absolute out-of-the-box selections.
Reactions in the tweet begin to speak what is on players’ minds. Immediate reactions bounced from hype to utter confusion. One user, FluoNomade, just sent out an array of vomit and poo emojis aimed at the entry of “KPop Demon Hunters,” which… mood. Others, meanwhile, already come up with the real questions: “Demon Slayer where?” by the user realsousita. Apparently, a massive amount of people expected to have the anime Demon Slayer on this list, and its absence has created the greatest arguments. Like, jonnyboa asked almost bluntly, “What happened to Demon Slayer?” and OG_MJFOfficial called the leakers “fake” for not including them. The demand for that particular collab is obviously HUGE.
Now about the Festival mode. According to the leaked document, there was an “Unknown Festival S12 Artist”, but some users almost instantly replied by pointing out that Fortnite has declared Season 12 of the Festival pass to be an event featuring original artists, rather than real-world ones. Consequently, ApolloLegacy_FN chimed in with “did u forget season 12 will be fortnite original?” casting massive doubt on this part of the leak. Is the leak incorrect? Or is Epic revamping its plans? It’s this back and forth that really makes leak season so fun and wild all at once.
One also has the collabs to talk about. Sonic & Shadow as back bling? Interesting choice, for sure. Are we just getting their shoes? Weird, but honestly, after Peabody glider moments, nothing’s surprising anymore. The Simpsons, though, that’s a huge one. Imagine running around as Homer with a Pickaxe that’s a donut. And one leg of horrors so stacked—Jason Voorhees and Ghostface from Scream in the same game? Going-home-of-slashers. Scooby-Doo feels like an easy choice; the art style would gel perfectly with Fortnite. And then MrSavage getting an Icon Series skin is a nice shout-out to the competitive scene.
Okay, but what about Daft Punk? From nowhere, really. Helmeted legends in Fortnite? Emotes for those guys would be a whole saga. Then there’s R.E.P.O. No one knows what that means. Is it an acronym? Is it one fresh original IP? Or is it just a typo? This suspense is actually killing us.
The comment section is flooded with chatter about other rumored collaborations that didn’t make the list. Nerdstuffnews wondered about Fast and the Furious, James Bond, and Doctor Who. Another one mentioned Doja Cat. Basically, this leak just opened all the floodgates, and currently, every multiverse collaboration wishlist item is being demanded at once. That alone shows how Epic really has trained an audience which expects literally, ANY and EVERYTHING.
User GipseeRaider asked a pretty reasonable question, if there was any update on the K-Pop Demon Hunters, like a general time frame. They weren’t demanding it for tomorrow; they were just seeking some clue, which is a mood after seeing so many leaks with zero release details. It actually underscores the annoying side to being a leaker; you have the “what” but not the “when,” and that’s what drives the players crazy.
The replies even have a slight debate about where K-Pop Demon Hunters would fit better. Ttvspartanbtw suggested it would “make more sense if kpop demon hunters where in the festival pass,” which is a good point. It does sound more like a Festival-themed skin than a Skin you’d snatch in the item shop.
So what do we take away from all this? If this leak is anywhere close to halfway true, then 2025 will see Fortnite compiling on pop-culture melting pot. That’s a strategy that had worked so well for them; keeping the game feeling fresh whilst constantly giving players reasons to buy V-Bucks. From kids and family cartoons to horror movies to electronic legends is basically a testament to how Fortnite regards no brand as too big or too small for them.
Without a doubt, these are leaks at this point. Priorities change, things shift to a new schedule, and sometimes what is called a fact turns out to be a lie. But the reactions are very real from the community who are buzzing about some parts of the leak, disappointed at the misses (Demon Slayer, quite a few), speculating release dates; all so hard to separate from the crazy fun this game entails. Whatever the hype for Shaggy or the horror in facing Jason Voorhees along with him on the battleground, the one big thing for sure is: Fortnite is definitely not out of the collaborate train yet. Now we just sit with bated breath to see who from the list actually makes it into the game, whether you’re playing on PlayStation or Xbox.
