Fortnite confirms Bleach wave 2 skins
Epic Games has announced a second wave of Bleach cosmetics coming to Fortnite, marking the return of the anime crossover just eight months after the franchise first debuted in the battle royale game. The new cosmetics are set to arrive later this week.
The original Bleach collaboration launched in December, introducing four characters from the series: Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Uryu Ishida, and Orihime Inoue. Players had the option to purchase each character individually or as part of a Bleach Bundle containing all four characters and their associated cosmetics for 4,000 V-Bucks. The cosmetics have continued to rotate through Fortnite’s Item Shop on multiple occasions since their initial release, demonstrating strong player interest in the crossover.
The second wave represents Epic Games’ response to ongoing community enthusiasm for Bleach cosmetics. While the full roster of new characters for wave 2 has not yet been revealed, the announcement confirms that additional Bleach cosmetics beyond the original four characters will be available. This represents a continuation of Fortnite’s strategy of partnering with popular anime and entertainment franchises to deliver crossover content that resonates with players.
The timing of the announcement—teased on Tuesday for a later-week release—follows Fortnite’s established pattern of building anticipation for cosmetic offerings. As with the original collection, these cosmetics are expected to carry standard Fortnite cosmetic pricing, allowing players to collect their favorite Bleach characters and related items.
