Fortnite’s holiday lineup isn’t done yet—Epic is unleashing a Fortnite x Bleach crossover on December 20, 2025, letting players storm the Battle Royale island as iconic characters from the series.

Fortnite is not done stuffing the holiday stocking. Epic is bringing Bleach to the island, so yes, you will be able to third-party a firefight as Ichigo Kurosaki. Here is the when, what, and how-much, without the fluff.

When it drops

Epic says the Fortnite x Bleach collab hits the Item Shop on December 20, 2025 at 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET, right on the usual daily shop reset.

If you need it translated by region: United States (New York) 7:00 PM EST on Dec 20; United States (Chicago) 6:00 PM CST on Dec 20; United States (Denver) 5:00 PM MST on Dec 20; United States (Alaska) 3:00 PM AKST on Dec 20; United States (Hawaii) 2:00 PM HST on Dec 20; North America (Pacific) 4:00 PM PST on Dec 20; United Kingdom 12:00 AM GMT on Dec 21; Europe 1:00 AM CET on Dec 21; Brazil 9:00 PM BRT on Dec 20; China 8:00 AM CST on Dec 21; Japan 9:00 AM JST on Dec 21; Korea 9:00 AM KST on Dec 21; India 5:30 AM IST on Dec 21; Philippines 8:00 AM PST (Philippine Standard Time) on Dec 21; Australia 10:00 AM AEST on Dec 21; New Zealand 1:00 PM NZDT on Dec 21.

What you can actually buy

Along with Ichigo and Rukia, the shop should be stacked. Dataminers flagged a dedicated Bleach bundle (via @SpushFNBR), expected around 3,200 V-Bucks, with everything also sold separately. Here is what is in the bundle:

Ichigo Kurosaki (Skin)
Rukia Kuchiki (Skin)
Orihime Inoue (Skin)
Uryu Ishida (Skin)
Orihime's Pin Wand (Pickaxe)
Zangetsu (Pickaxe)
Hakka No Togame (Emote)
Fully-Hollowfied (Emote)
Fully-Hollowfied (Weapon Wrap)
Orihime's Bag (Back Bling)
Rukia's Ribbons (Back Bling)
Zangetsu (Back Bling)
Sodenoshirayuki (Pickaxe)

Pricing if you cherry-pick

If you do not want the bundle, the expected a la carte prices are the usual ballpark: skins around 1,500 V-Bucks, pickaxes around 800 V-Bucks, and emotes and gliders around 500 V-Bucks. As always, subject to the Item Shop doing Item Shop things.

Bottom line: anime fans get a proper holiday treat, and yes, dropping in as Ichigo or Rukia is going to feel extremely right.
