Fortnite Hosts Dr. STONE Event Ahead of Anime Finale
Limited-time Fortnite activation runs in late-June as Crunchyroll expands anime engagement beyond streaming.
Highlights
- Crunchyroll and Epic Games are hosting a limited-time Dr. STONE event on Fortnite in late June.
- Players can watch a special screening of Dr. STONE: Science Future episode 25 and explore recreations of Senku’s inventions.
- The collaboration highlights the growing connection between anime and gaming.
Fortnite players will be able to step into a Dr. STONE anime-themed experience from June 19-21, as Crunchyroll and Epic Games bring a limited-time event. The 72-hour activation centers on the newly launched Crunchyroll Anime Island, a dedicated space within Fortnite.
Players can find Crunchyroll Anime Island using the island code 6044-5327-4490 during the limited window. The Fortnite x Dr. STONE event is positioned as a celebration ahead of the series’ conclusion on June 25, reflecting a pre-finale promotional effort to reach audiences through games.
The current cour of Dr. STONE: Science Future began April 2, 2026, as a part of Crunchyroll’s Spring lineup. The streamer is simulcasting the series in most regions, including the Americas, Europe, CIS, and the Middle East.
What Awaits Fans in the Fortnite x Crunchyroll Anime Island Dr. STONE Event?
According to Crunchyroll, the Dr. STONE-themed activation will temporarily transform parts of Anime Island with content inspired by the anime series. Firstly, fans can enjoy a special screening of the 25th episode, Future Engine, which is the first episode of the current cour.
The Future Engine screening will be paired with exclusive content related to the anime. Other than these, several engaging experiences have been announced:
Dr. STONE Builds: Three of Senku’s inventions are recreated for fans to explore: the Ramen Cart, the show’s improvised automobile, Steam Gorilla, and the Perseus, Senku’s ship.

Custom Weapons and Challenges: Activating the leaderboards will facilitate challenges throughout the event window. Exclusive Crunchyroll-inspired weapons will be available for in-game combat.

Photo Spots: Themed photography moments are available across the island for players and fans alike to enjoy.
The Dr. STONE collaboration extends Fortnite’s prolonged relationship with anime IPs. Epic Games’ battle royale title has previously featured partnerships with franchises such as Dragon Ball, Naruto, Solo Leveling, and Jujutsu Kaisen, helping turn the platform into a major venue for entertainment crossovers.
Crunchyroll has extended its footprint into Blue Protocol: Star Resonance and Forza Horizon 6 this year. A Nielsen report previously showed a strong demographic overlap between anime streaming audiences and gaming communities. With this backdrop, Crunchyroll and Epic’s initiative suggests how the platform is treating gaming spaces as an audience retention tool rather than a supplementary marketing measure.
