I was watching a late-night lobby when a small blue flare flashed across a skin preview. You could feel the chat go quiet — everyone knew that flare meant a crossover rumor. The Item Shop suddenly felt like a rumor mill humming with possibility.
When an encrypted skin’s blue flame first showed up on my feed — Fortnite Leaks Reveal Beyblade Collab is Coming This Season
I follow leakers so you don’t have to sift through the noise, and SamLeakss on X has been clear: Epic Games is testing assets that point to a Fortnite x Beyblade crossover. The leak names Beyblade X — the 2023 anime entry — as the likely source, and the files include an encrypted male skin bathed in a distinctive blue flame motif.
A player triggered an emote and the whole lobby heard the launcher sound — What the leak files actually show
I’ve seen encrypted collaboration files before, and they follow a pattern: art, textures, tiny audio cues, and a locked skin filename. This leak matches that blueprint. The blue-flame asset lines up with Ekusu Kurosu (also called Jaxon Cross), Beyblade X’s lead, and his Bey, Dran Sword, which has that same signature flame look.
Is there a Beyblade crossover in Fortnite?
The short answer: the evidence points strongly to yes. SamLeakss posted the files on X and the community picked the threads apart; the leak spread through X like wildfire, and several data miners confirmed matching references in the game client. Epic typically keeps collab skins encrypted until they’re ready to sell via the Fortnite Item Shop, so the presence of locked assets is a familiar signal.
When will the Fortnite Beyblade collab arrive?
I expect this to land during Chapter 7 Season 2. The season just began and Epic’s roadmap for 2026 shows heavy collaboration activity — think big-name tie-ins (there are separate leaks about a Kingdom Hearts crossover) that happen across multi-month seasons. If Epic follows its usual cadence, you’ll likely see Beyblade merch and skins roll into the shop sometime inside this three-month window.
Which Beyblade characters will appear in Fortnite?
Start with Ekusu. The encrypted male skin’s palette and the Dran Sword flame make him a natural lead candidate. From there, expect Team Persona members: Bird Wind (Robin Knight) and Multi Nana-iro are the logical follow-ups. Epic usually bundles a protagonist skin with teammates, themed back blings (mini Beyblade launchers, stylized cases), and a few emotes.
The real wild-card: emotes that act like toys. Fortnite has shipped interactive, toy-like items in past Chapters; imagine a built-in emote that launches a mini-Beyblade and triggers a short, flashy duel animation. That would be cosmetic, but it would also create tight, social moments mid-match.
If Epic moves forward, the Beyblade X set could appear in the Item Shop alongside standard cosmetic bundles and themed challenges. I’d watch SamLeakss on X and the usual data-mining hubs for the next few weeks if you want the fastest confirmation.
Whether you grew up with Metal Fury or the original manga, this could open doors for future drops — think classic heroes like Gingka Hagane and Tyson Granger appearing later — and Epic has done something similar with other franchises in previous seasons.
Ekusu’s Dran Sword aesthetic translates cleanly into Fortnite’s visual language; the proportions and flame effects are as precise as a watchmaker’s gear, which is why this leak feels readable rather than random.
So I’ll ask you: if Beyblades spin into Fortnite, will you be buying the skins or watching from the sidelines?
