Highlights
- Fortnite x Bleach Wave 2 launches in August, adding Yoruichi Shihōin and Kisuke skins.

Epic Games is set to launch the second wave of its Fortnite x Bleach collaboration on Aug 7, 2026. Wave 2 will expand the anime crossover months after the first collection debuted in the battle royale during Fortnite Winterfest in December 2025.
The new update introduces fan-favorite Soul Reapers Yoruichi Shihōin and Kisuke Urahara within Fortnite’s Chapter 7 season 3. These skins join the first Wave lineup, which brought Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Uryū Ishida, and Orihime Inoue into Fortnite alongside themed Back Blings, Emotes, Pickaxes, and Quests.
What Will Bleach x Fortnite Wave 2 Include?
Fortnite has yet to detail the Bleach Wave 2 offerings and announce whether additional gameplay content, such as limited-time quests, will accompany the launch. The Aug 4 collaboration trailer on X only featured Yoruichi and Kisuke skins.
Meanwhile, well-known Fortnite leakers, including @ShiinaBR and @HYPEX on X, report that Wave 2 will also include character bundles, LEGO Styles, and additional cosmetic items not shown in the reveal trailer. Epic Games has not confirmed these details.
According to these leaks, Kisuke’s skin will have three variants, while Yoruichi’s features more than two styles, including regular and ninja editions. Backbling, Emote, and Pickaxes are also expected.
Expected Bleach x Fortnite Bundle Pricing Remains Unofficial
Epic has not disclosed official Item Shop prices ahead of launch. However, based on storefront metadata and reports from Fortnite data miners, the entire Bleach Wave 2 bundle is expected to be around 3,500 V-Bucks, Fortnite’s in-game currency.
Reported prices include:
- Individual Outfit: 1,800 V-Bucks each
- Pickaxe: 800 V-Bucks
- Back Bling: 800 V-Bucks
- Yoruichi Emote: 500 V-Bucks
- Wrap: 500 V-Bucks
Bleach x Fortnite Wave 2 will drop at region-specific times. Across PT, MT, BRT, CT, and ET time zones, the collaboration will launch on Aug 7, while in other time zones, it is expected on Aug 8, 2026. In India, the Bleach collab can be expected to release on Aug 8, 5:30 am IST.
The timing of Wave 2 also aligns with growing momentum around the Bleach franchise. The collaboration arrives as the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity, the anime's final cour, starts streaming. As anticipation builds for the conclusion of Tite Kubo’s long-running series, Epic's latest crossover extends the franchise’s reach beyond streaming and anime audiences.
