Is Hunter X Hunter Coming To Fortnite? The Ultimate 2025 Collab Status And Leaks Explained

• minute read

The question of whether *Hunter x Hunter* will join the Fortnite multiverse is one of the most persistent and highly-requested topics in the community. As of late December 2025, while there has been no official announcement or concrete leak confirming a *Hunter x Hunter* (HxH) collaboration, the groundwork laid by recent major anime crossovers suggests an event is not just possible, but highly probable. Epic Games has confirmed a massive *Bleach* collaboration for late 2025, following the success of *Dragon Ball*, *Naruto*, and *Jujutsu Kaisen*, making the absence of the beloved Shonen series a glaring exception that fans believe will soon be rectified. The current landscape of Fortnite’s Chapter 5, Season 3, is a hotbed for anime collaborations, indicating Epic Games is actively pursuing the biggest names in the genre. The sheer popularity and active status of the *Hunter x Hunter* IP, including the upcoming *HUNTERxHUNTER NENxSURVIVOR* game in 2026, make it a prime candidate for a massive crossover event that would introduce Gon Freecss and the Zoldyck assassin, Killua, to the Battle Royale island.

Why Hunter x Hunter is Inevitable: The Current State of Anime in Fortnite (December 2025 Update)

Fortnite’s strategy for anime collaborations has evolved from occasional Item Shop drops to full-scale, season-defining events. The recent inclusion of *Bleach* into the game’s roster, confirmed for a December 2025 release, solidifies a pattern: if a Shonen Jump series is globally popular and its IP is active, it's on Epic's radar.

The Anime Collab Precedent: A Recipe for HxH Success

The success of previous crossovers provides a clear roadmap for what a *Hunter x Hunter* event would look like and why it’s a matter of "when," not "if." * Jujutsu Kaisen (JJK) Model: The JJK collaboration introduced a limited-time event, the "Break the Curse!" questline, and powerful Mythic weapons like the Hollow Purple and the Straw Doll Technique. This model is perfectly suited for a *Hunter x Hunter* event, where players could learn and utilize different Nen Types (Enhancement, Transmutation, Emission, Manipulation, Conjuration, and Specialization) as Mythic items. * Bleach Confirmation: The confirmed *Bleach* collaboration, featuring characters like Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, and Uryu Ishida, further proves Epic’s commitment to the Shonen genre. *Hunter x Hunter* shares a similar global fanbase and a rich history, making it a logical next step to follow the "Big Three" and modern hits. * IP Activity: The upcoming new *Hunter x Hunter* game, *HUNTERxHUNTER NENxSURVIVOR*, slated for an early 2026 global release, is a huge indicator that the IP is actively seeking cross-promotion opportunities, with Fortnite being the ultimate promotional platform.

The Most-Wanted Hunter x Hunter Fortnite Skins and Items

If the collaboration were to drop, the Item Shop bundles and in-game items would undoubtedly focus on the core cast and their iconic abilities. The potential for unique cosmetics and gameplay mechanics based on Nen is immense, offering a fresh experience compared to previous anime events.

The Core Hunter Skins: The Main Cast

The collaboration would likely launch with a minimum of four skins, mirroring the main cast of the Hunter Association's 287th Hunter Exam arc: * Gon Freecss: * Style: Standard Green Outfit (Rocker) and an alternate Gon-San (Adult Gon) transformation style. * Back Bling: The Fishing Rod (stored on the back). * Pickaxe: A simple, yet iconic Fishing Rod harvesting tool. * Emote: Jajanken: Rock (a charging-up emote with a visible Nen aura). * Killua Zoldyck: * Style: Standard Blue Shirt/Shorts outfit and a Godspeed style (with electric blue aura effects). * Back Bling: A Skateboard back bling (with a built-in traversal emote). * Pickaxe: Yo-Yo harvesting tool (dual-wielded). * Emote: Thunderbolt (a quick lightning strike effect). * Kurapika: * Style: Standard Chain Jail outfit and an alternate Scarlet Eyes style (with glowing red eyes and a visible Nen aura around his chains). * Back Bling: The Kurta Clan Cloak. * Pickaxe: A single Chain harvesting tool. * Leorio Paladiknight: * Style: His signature Suit and Sunglasses, perhaps with a second style featuring his Hunter Exam number tag. * Back Bling: Leorio's Briefcase (containing his medical supplies). * Pickaxe: A Scalpel harvesting tool.

The Villain and Wildcard Entities

To round out the collection and satisfy the demand for more complex skins, a second wave or a separate bundle would feature fan-favorite antagonists: * Hisoka Morow: * Style: His standard Jester outfit and a Heaven's Arena style. * Back Bling: A deck of Playing Cards. * Pickaxe: A single, sharp Playing Card harvesting tool. * Emote: Bungee Gum (a stretchy, sticky effect emote). * Chrollo Lucilfer: * Style: His iconic coat and headband. * Back Bling: The Skill Hunter book.

Potential Mythic Weapons and Gameplay

The most exciting part of a *Hunter x Hunter* collaboration would be the in-game Mythic items based on the Nen system. * Mythic Item 1: Jajanken: Rock: A powerful, short-range kinetic blast (Enhancement/Emission). * Mythic Item 2: Godspeed: A temporary speed boost and electric damage aura (Transmutation/Enhancement). * Mythic Item 3: Chain Jail: A throwable chain that temporarily traps an opponent (Conjuration/Manipulation). * Mythic Item 4: Bungee Gum: A sticky projectile that can pull enemies toward the user or launch the user away (Transmutation).

Topical Authority: Why the Hunter x Hunter Collab is a Must-Have

The anticipation for *Hunter x Hunter* is fueled by its status as one of the most critically acclaimed Shonen anime of all time, known for its deep character development, complex power system (Nen), and memorable arcs like the Yorknew City and Chimera Ant arcs. The inclusion of the series would naturally draw in a massive audience, similar to the impact of the *Naruto* and *Dragon Ball* events. The potential for a Limited-Time Mode (LTM) based on the Hunter Exam—perhaps a multi-stage survival challenge—is a unique opportunity that Epic Games has yet to fully explore with an anime IP.

Key Entities and Topical Keywords for the HxH Universe

The depth of the *Hunter x Hunter* universe provides a wealth of content for a full-scale Fortnite event. * Characters: Gon Freecss, Killua Zoldyck, Kurapika, Leorio Paladiknight, Hisoka Morow, Chrollo Lucilfer, Meruem, Netero, Biscuit Krueger, Feitan Portor, Machi Komacine, Illumi Zoldyck. * Locations/Concepts: Nen, Hunter Exam, Hunter Association, Phantom Troupe (Genei Ryodan), Zoldyck Family, Chimera Ant, Yorknew City, Heaven's Arena, Greed Island. * Nen Types: Enhancement, Transmutation, Emission, Manipulation, Conjuration, Specialization. * Abilities: Jajanken (Rock, Paper, Scissors), Godspeed, Chain Jail, Bungee Gum, Skill Hunter, Zetsu, Hatsu, Ren. In summary, while the dream of running around as Killua with a Godspeed style remains a community wish as of late 2025, the confirmed presence of *Bleach* and the IP's own activity strongly suggest that the Hunter x Hunter x Fortnite collaboration is not a question of *if*, but *when* it will finally materialize in the Item Shop and on the Battle Royale map. Keep a close watch on major leakers like HYPEX and ShiinaBR for any subtle data-mining hints in the coming seasons.
