Epic Games is set to release Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 soon. With more leaks, fans are excited about the upcoming event with the popular anime Demon Slayer. More information has confirmed that the battle royal will use this property soon.
Anime is no stranger to this free-to-play shooter, with Naruto and Dragon Ball already making big appearances. Even so, Demon Slayer is still a beloved anime and users are excited to see what Epic Games has planned. For now, here’s everything we know about the upcoming event.
Event details
Leaker HypeX has confirmed several details about Fortnite’s Demon Slayer event. Based on the information, players will hunt demons with their squad for various rewards and cosmetics. The leaker found data called “Demon Hunters” and “Demon Island,” teasing a new area for this event.
Chapter 6 Season 1 will have a big Japanese theme so this anime event makes sense. Demon Slayer already has a classic Japanese aesthetic, so adding that to the shooter will interest players. Epic is putting a lot of thought and effort into this new event, hence huge player interest.
Release date
No release date for the Fortnite x Demon Slayer event has been revealed at the time of writing. Since Chapter 6 Season 1 is coming out on December 6, fans can assume the event will come soon after.
Skins
There have been no details on the Demon Slayer skins coming, at least not yet. Fans can assume that Tanjiro and Nezuko will be unlockable throughout the event. More characters from the anime could be added, but Epic Games tends to be conservative with their anime fanservice.
For now, that’s everything we know about this Fortnite x Demon Slayer event. To learn more about Fortnite, here’s everything we’ve gathered about Chapter 6 Season 1. You can also read about the leaked Baymax skin coming to the free-to-play shooter.
