Akira, according to a well-known Fortnite leaker, might be the game’s next crossover. Fortnite players will explore a territory similar to Japan in the upcoming Chapter 4 Season 2 update, and given the cyberpunk-ish tone of the premiere trailer, this cooperation might come soon.
Fortnite features a plethora of leakers that are always providing stuff that engages the fan base. HYPEX is one of the largest, and they are seldom incorrect on their forecasts. HYPEX just verified leaked details about the impending Attack on Titan crossover on Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2. Along with leaker ShiinaBR, they learned that an Eren Yeager skin would be available and that players may get the Scout Regime Salute emote following the update.

HYPEX recently tweeted that the next Fortnite season may include a “collaboration” with Akira. Their evidence is a single shot in the official video, which can be seen at the 52-second point. The figure in it is riding a bike in the new cyberpunk metropolis and strikes the same attitude as the protagonist in the classic film. There’s a good likelihood that HYPEX is true, as even Epic Games’ Chief Creative Officer, Donald Mustard, has said.

Akira is generally regarded as one of the most influential anime films ever made. Not only is the title one of the finest cyberpunk movies ever created, but it also helped Japanese cartoons become popular all over the globe throughout the 1990s, laying the path for their present worldwide success. The sequence mentioned by HYPEX is maybe the most renowned scene in the whole film and has been quoted hundreds of times since its inception, prompting a few Twitter users to argue that it doesn’t necessarily signal that a crossover is on the way. It’s still too early to tell, but considering Fortnite’s penchant for crossover events, the possibility is hard to dismiss.
