The leaker of Fortnite HYPEX has thrown in a new speculations hat, which is that the new Chainsaw Man collaboration might be a Playable Jam Track consisting of the anime’s ending theme tune, “Jane Doe.” The information was probably detected by the account FortniteJPNews, thus making the crossover even more anticipated besides being already greatly rumored. If this happens to be true, then it will be a great addition of the well-known anime music to the Fortnite experience.
Speculations about Fortnite are all over the place. HYPEX has just set a huge rumor and the community… gets crazy. Skins were more than just a guess, right? Denji, Makima, likely Power and Aki as well. But the MUSIC?? Just a different level of catering to the fans’ desires. The “Jane Doe” piece, which is the last theme of the first season, is so cool with its mix of sadness and calmness. Can you visualize yourself moving around the Battle Bus island with that sound in your ears? Ultimate vibe.
What about the replies?? Just a totally chaotic situation, dude. One player, Nathaniel C, is already seeing the future: “I’m sure it’ll be the main 4 from season 1 but I would be so happy if they add Reze.” That guy is literally writing down his wishlist even before the first skin is revealed. That’s some real commitment. The next person, Lucas, just proclaims, “This will save Fortnite,” which is… a bit too much, but hey, the passion is really there!
But not everyone is over the moon with it. There are some replies that are a bit doubtful and seem to refer to the unfulfilled Bleach collaboration, which was supposed to feature the opening track “Number One.” NexusoftheRealm responded with a “That’s what y’all said about Number One for Bleach 🫠”. Ouch. That’s a fair point, Epic has in the past hint at music that did not come to fruition. So maybe it’s time to tone down the celebrations a bit.
The conversation gets even messier with people like Sig_Rui (mechamortyleaks) and others arguing back and forth. Somebody asks “WHERE IS POWER,” which is indeed a reasonable question. Another one is concerned whether Pochita is going to be just a back bling or will actually be a pet: “Bruh we need info for pochita… Is he a sidekick or not?” The priorities seem to be all over the place, yet it is all very funny. It surely shows how deep this crossover is hitting for anime gamers.
What is really funny is the contrast of unwavering faith and total disbelief. You will be seeing a Groper gif of Denji yelling “LET’S GO” and a gif of a suspicious person with a “not yet” meme right next to it. It is such a lively, chaotic middle ground where a leak seems to be both completely confirmed and totally fabricated at the very same moment. This is the case with Fortnite leak culture, to be honest.
So what does it all mean if it turns out to be true? The inclusion of a Jam Track is a bigger deal than some might think. It is not simply a visual change; it is a complete auditory experience. This could mean that Epic is taking quite a few steps to make sure that the whole atmosphere of the collaboration is felt, not just the character models. They want you to experience it as if you were in the Chainsaw Man world or at least in a world where its soundtrack is blaring. What a nice detail!
Furthermore, it actually makes perfect sense. Fortnite’s Jam Stage has become a big thing and one of the ways to keep that feature’s allure is to integrate popular anime soundtracks into it. They have already done that with the Frieren opening. So, the inclusion of a Chainsaw Man track is perfectly in line with the trend. It is not that unpredictable an “if” but rather a question of “when and which song.”
The gamers’ response confirms that these collaborations are not only about making new skins available for the players to buy. It means that players can have the “author’s” piece from the show or game they love and express it through their gameplay. The fans of a track indicate that the connection is emotional, not just visual. Gamers want to express their favorite things in every possible way, and that includes character appearance as well as virtual radio.
This rumor, no matter the truth of it, highlights the vast interdependent relationship that exists between Fortnite and the entertainment industry. It is not just putting a character skin in the game any more because with Fortnite moving towards music inclusion, which is more immersive and full-spectrum collaborations that engage players on multiple levels, they are bringing in the kids. For the gaming community, it raises a new bar for unlocking the depth of such crossovers.
