The popular anime Chainsaw Man is set to receive its first-ever collaboration with the video game Fortnite. After a very successful year, especially because of the anime’s recent movie, fans are excited to see what this crossover will include.

According to recent leaks shared on Twitter on January 5, 2026, several well-known Fortnite leakers have confirmed that Chainsaw Man is officially coming to the game. While Epic Games has not yet shared full details, players are already guessing which characters will appear as in-game skins.

Chainsaw Man is about Denji, a destitute young man who, after being betrayed and killed, merges with his devil dog companion, Pochita, becoming a human-devil hybrid with chainsaw arms and legs, gaining immense power and joining the Public Safety Devil Hunters to fight terrifying devils, all while grappling with a desire for simple pleasures like food and romance, deconstructing typical shonen tropes with dark humor, gore, and surprising emotional depth.

It is almost certain that Denji, the main character of the series, will be included. However, the other skins remain a mystery. Characters like Power are very popular and could easily be added. Another strong possibility is Reze, also known as the Bomb Demon, who became extremely popular after appearing in the Chainsaw Man movie. Her success at the box office has made her a fan favorite.

Even though there are many loved characters in the series, Fortnite usually limits collaborations to two or three skins per release. Because of this, not every character will make it into the game. Fans will have to wait for an official announcement to see which characters are chosen and when the collaboration will be released.
