One-Punch Man Unleashed: Saitama, Tatsumaki, and Genos Crash Fortnite on August 27

Get ready for an electrifying collaboration as Epic Games officially confirms the highly anticipated crossover between the global gaming phenomenon Fortnite and the beloved anime sensation One-Punch Man! Mark your calendars for August 27, 2025, because at 4 AM ET, a whirlwind of heroic might and comedic charm will descend upon the Fortnite universe.
Fans will be thrilled to step into the shoes of their favorite One-Punch Man characters. Saitama, the hero who defeats all foes with a single punch, will arrive alongside the formidable Tatsumaki and the powerful cyborg Genos, all as fully playable skins. Each character will be accompanied by an exclusive array of themed accessories and emotes, meticulously crafted to reflect their unique personalities and iconic moments from the series.
Players can look forward to a treasure trove of cosmetic items, including dynamic back blings, distinct pickaxes, gravity-defying gliders, expressive emotes, and eye-catching wraps. These items are all designed to immerse players fully in the world of One-Punch Man, enhancing the battle royale experience with a touch of superhero flair.

This epic crossover is not just a fleeting appearance. The event is scheduled to run through September 4, 2025, offering approximately a week of exhilarating, immersive content across every platform where Fortnite is available. This partnership represents a monumental moment, seamlessly merging the legendary strength and humor of One-Punch Man, particularly its famously overpowered protagonist, with the high-octane battle royale experience of Fortnite.
Epic Games has masterfully embraced the anime's signature humor and iconic elements in their promotional teasers. They even playfully referenced Saitama’s infamous, yet deceptively simple, workout routine: "100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10 km run every day." While the full roster of cosmetics remains a closely guarded secret, the gaming and anime communities are buzzing with anticipation, speculating on further exciting additions given Fortnite’s history of expansive and detailed collaborations.
More than just new skins, this collaboration serves a dual purpose. It not only introduces a fresh and dynamic take on the anime’s beloved characters within the gaming world but also strategically builds immense hype ahead of the upcoming third season of One-Punch Man. This synergy delights both dedicated anime fans and the vast global gaming community alike.
The partnership stands as a prime example of Fortnite’s ongoing, successful strategy to bridge global pop culture phenomena with its expansive player base, delivering an energetic and unforgettable celebration of one of anime’s most iconic and hilarious series.
