Fortnite's universe is about to get even more mystical with the return of its Jujutsu Kaisen collaboration.
The much-anticipated Wave 2 of the Fortnite x Jujutsu Kaisen collaboration is rumored to arrive next season, sparking excitement within the gaming and anime communities.
Fortnite: New Jujutsu Kaisen Skins?
This collaboration follows the successful introduction of Jujutsu Kaisen skins in Fortnite in 2023, as part of Chapter 4 Season 3, where main characters such as Satoru Gojo, Megumi Fushigoro, Yuji Itadori, and Nobara Kugisaki were added to the game.
These characters were made available through the "Break the Curse!" event, where players could complete various quests to obtain the anime-themed rewards and cosmetics.
The collaboration's initial wave saw the integration of Jujutsu Kaisen's mystical elements into Fortnite's dynamic gameplay, allowing players to embody their favorite sorcerers from the popular anime series.
The skins and bundles, including unique outfits and accessories for each character, were available for purchase in the Item Shop, with prices ranging from 1,500 to 1,900 V-Bucks for individual bundles.
As for the upcoming Wave 2, the anticipation builds on the success of previous anime collaborations in Fortnite, which have included iconic franchises like My Hero Academia and Attack on Titan.
