Thanks to some new leaks, it seems that Epic Games is gearing up for yet another Fortnite anime collaboration. This time with Jujutsu Kaisen. Previously, players have seen characters from a variety of beloved anime series enter the Battle Royale, including: Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, and My Hero Academia

With Jujutsu Kaisen having now entered its second anime season, fans are enjoying learning a little more about some key character's backstories — namely, Satoru Gojo. And speaking of the Six Eyes himself, the leaks have revealed that Gojo will be an available Outfit in this upcoming collaboration. Joining him are Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki. But what about Yuji Itadori? Will our Season 1 main hero appear in this new collaboration? Well, here's what we know so far. 

Update 1 August: Epic Games has officially announced that the Jujutsu Kaisen collaboration will be arriving with the v25.30 update. Yuji Itadori was featured in the teaser. 

Will Yuji Itadori Be In Fortnite? Jujutsu Kaisen Collaboration

Epic Games has confirmed that the Jujutsu Kaisen collaboration will be arriving in Fortnite alongside the v25.30 update. The announcement came alongside a brief trailer, revealing that that Satoru Gojo, Megumi Fushiguro, Nobara Kugisaki, and Yuji Itadori will all receive skins as part of the crossover.

Previously, leaks only confirmed that Gojo, Fushiguro and Kugisaki would be part of the collaboration. Missing from the trio was Yuji Itadori, Jujutsu Kaisen's Season 1 main character. At the time of writing, no word has been given on how Itadori will be featured as part of the collaboration. Some have speculated that, much like Eren Jaeger, Itadori could be a skin offered as part of an upcoming Battle Pass.

According to leaks, both Fushiguro and Kugisaki are set to have bundles featuring an Outfit, Pickaxe and Back Bling. Fushiguro will reportedly have an emote. Gojo appears to have an Alt Style and Back Bling. Data miners are currently unsure if other bundles are planned for the collaboration. 

So, for now, it's unclear how Yuji Itadori will be featured as part of this collaboration. Depending on the route Epic Games chooses to go, we could see him join as part of an upcoming Battle Pass (like the Attack on Titan collaboration), or see the collaboration get a second wave further down the line (like the Dragon Ball & Naruto collaborations).

The Jujutsu Kaisen collaboration is set to drop alongside Fortnite's upcoming v25.30 update. Until we receive confirmation, all details revealed so far are subject to change. We'll endeavor to update this page with more information as it surfaces.
