Epic Games decided to finally capture the attention of all anime fans on the planet – the official Fortnite account on X (formerly Twitter) finally got good hints about a collaboration with Solo Leveling. In truth, everyone was waiting for this, but the developers are still keeping the specific release dates of the content in the strictest confidence.
The title “Levelling up Alone” is currently at the peak of its popularity, and its integration into the Fortnite metaverse looks like the most logical step for the publisher.

Release date of Solo Leveling in Fortnite and new leaks
Fans of Song Jin-woo and his legion of shadows are already preparing for the landing of cult hunters on the island of the “royal battle”. And although Epic Games traditionally play in silence, the insider community has already extracted juicy details from the game files that it would be a sin not to share.
In truth, leaks of this magnitude rarely turn out to be nothing. The main question that is currently tearing apart social media is when exactly will Solo Leveling be released in Fortnite? According to insider sharks like AdiraFNInfo and SamLeakss, the release is scheduled for update v39.50.
The estimated date is February 19, 2026. It seems that Epic specifically timed the moment for the hype finale of the second season of the anime in order to squeeze maximum emotions (and B-bucks) out of the fan base. So far, all this is, let’s say, at the level of rumors, but there is no smoke without fire in the game code — keep an eye on the patchnotes, it will get hot soon.
Review of Song Jin woo and Cha hae-in Fortnite skins
Recognizable Fortnite Solo Leveling skins will be added to the item store very soon, allowing players to literally “level up” right in the match. Of course, Song Jin-woo will be the central figure. His skin, apparently, will be reactive: the basic outfit will begin to overgrow shadow effects, and his eyes will light up with an ominous light after each frag.
Logically, it won’t be limited to Jin-wu alone. The S-rank huntress Cha Hae-In is expected to appear — her elegant and deadly design will perfectly fit into the dynamics of the game. As for the loyal servants, Ygritte will most likely come to us in the form of a backing or a separate skin, and Beru can try on the role of a unique glider or pet.
This whole set is going to cost fans a pretty penny. Judging by past anime collaborations, the price for a single skin will be about 1500-2000 V-Bucks. In addition, a bundle for 2500-3000 coins will be available, which will contain Ygritte’s pickaxe, Shadow Army glider and an exclusive emotion. This is the perfect fit for collectors, although you’ll have to go to the store on the day of the release to get the exact numbers.
Mythical Abilities and New Shadow Summoning Mechanics
Epic Games don’t just draw models, they change the rules of the game. It is expected that mythical abilities like summoning shadows will temporarily turn the balance of power on the map. This will make the matches as epic as possible, turning an ordinary shootout into a scene from a top anime episode.
If we compare Solo Leveling with previous crossovers like Naruto or Dragon Ball, then the hunter project wins due to its gloomy, “adult” atmosphere. Song Jin-woo will bring a dark fantasy aesthetic to Fortnite, which was so lacking after the bright Goku or the eccentric heroes of the Magical Battle. This is, in fact, the most mature and stylish anime landing in the history of the game.
Stay in touch — as soon as Epic releases the official trailer, we will sort out every shadow movement on the shelves. The future is already here, and it smells of S-rank magical energy.
The success story and popularity of anime Raising the level
The Song Jin-woo hunter franchise has become a real industry phenomenon over the past couple of years, literally breaking the charts. The first season, which we saw in January 2024, garnered an impressive 8.3/10 on IMDb — cool, really.
Apparently, the success was consolidated on domestic platforms, where the viewers of Kinopoisk rated anime stable 8.1/10. The second season, by the way, actually staged a real triumph at the Crunchyroll Awards, taking nine statuettes at once.
Why collaboration with Epic Games is inevitable in 2026
The most powerful achievement of the project is the title “The Best Anime of 2025”, which, in fact, became the trigger for Epic Games. It seems that the company does not want to miss such a powerful information channel while the hype around the second season has not subsided yet.
Fair. For fans, this means only one thing — soon recognizable skins will appear in the item store, and possibly unique mythical abilities right on the map. In general, Solo Leveling in Fortnite is no longer the wet dreams of fans, but a confirmed reality that will turn the current season upside down.
