If you grew up shouting “Let it rip!”, this one’s for you. Fresh leaks from reliable Fortnite dataminer SamLeakss suggest that Epic Games is actively developing a Fortnite x Beyblade collaboration reportedly set to drop during Chapter 7 Season 2 (March–June 2026). Here’s everything the leaks reveal so far.
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Leak Source | SamLeakss (X/Twitter) |
| Beyblade Series | Beyblade X (2023 anime) |
| Expected Characters | Ekusu Kurosu, Bird Wind, Multi Nana-iro |
| Possible Release | Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 |
| Official Confirmation | ❌ Not yet confirmed |
According to leaks by reliable Fortnite leaker SamLeakss, Epic is seemingly working on a Fortnite x Beyblade crossover. The collab is focused on Beyblade X, the newest entry in the franchise, which launched its anime in 2023.
A key piece of evidence is an encrypted male skin with a blue flame aesthetic recently spotted in Fortnite’s files. Epic usually keeps collab skins encrypted, and this locked skin could be Ekusu Kurosu (also known as Jaxon Cross), the protagonist of Beyblade X. His signature Dran Sword Bey is iconic for its blue flame design — making him the clear candidate for this mysterious skin.
The leaks point to a full Team Persona lineup arriving in the Fortnite Item Shop:
On the cosmetic side, players can also look forward to:
Epic has pulled off similar tricks before — the upcoming Fortnite x Kingdom Hearts collab set a great precedent for interactive cosmetics paired with anime skins.
Here’s where things get exciting. Some reports suggest the possibility of mini-Beyblade battles within matches, allowing players to interact in new ways. While this has not been confirmed, Epic has previously experimented with limited-time mechanics tied to collaborations. If implemented, this could make the Beyblade crossover far more memorable than a purely cosmetic drop.
Fans of Beyblade: Metal Fury or the original manga aren’t necessarily left out. Much like the Fortnite Power Rangers Dino Thunder skins, Epic could branch out into different corners of this beloved franchise down the road and bring other characters like Gingka Hagane and Tyson Granger to the game. So even if the first wave focuses on Beyblade X’s newer cast, older fans have reason to stay hopeful.
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 released on March 19, 2026, with a tentative end date of June 6, 2026. That’s a solid three-month window for Epic to drop the collab at peak momentum.
The season is already loaded: Looney Tunes (Bugs Bunny in the Battle Pass), Overwatch (Tracer, D.Va, Genji), and Kingdom Hearts are all reportedly incoming. The leak aligns with reports of a packed 2026 roadmap for Fortnite, which includes multiple high-profile collaborations — suggesting the Beyblade crossover could be part of a broader strategy to keep players engaged. Realistically, expect it to land mid-to-late season, somewhere between April and May 2026.
No. As of April 2026, Epic Games has not made any official announcement. The collab is based entirely on leaks from SamLeakss on X (Twitter).
Leaks point to Beyblade X, the 2023 anime, not classic series like Metal Fusion or the original manga.
Dataminers believe it’s Ekusu Kurosu (Jaxon Cross), Beyblade X’s protagonist, based on his blue flame Bey, Dran Sword.
Likely sometime during Chapter 7 Season 2 (March–June 2026). No specific date is confirmed yet.
Not in the first wave, but Epic frequently expands collabs over time, so classic characters could arrive in future updates.
