Fortnite X South Park crossover event is set to hit the servers on January 9, 2026, and the leaks have got the fans buzzing about the update. The iconic animated comedy show has gained fans around the world across all age groups, and for Epic Games to bring a collaboration like this unexpectedly has got the community riled up.

Several sources and insiders have suggested that the Fortnite x South Park collab will bring popular characters from the show to the game and blend them with the mechanics for Fortnite to have a seamless crossover, making the Battle Royale experience all the more enjoyable. In typical Epic fashion, the key details of the update are still missing, but thanks to the data miners, we have gotten our hands on a few interesting points.

Fortnite X South Park Release Date & Timing

The Fortnite X South Park crossover is officially set to release on January 9, 2026, as a part of Fortnite’s v39.20 patch and will ensure that the new year begins with a bang for Fortnite players.

Leaked Skins & Character Lineup

The leaks and early footage suggest that key South Park characters will be making it to the game and will be put into mech-style outfits to fit into Fortnite’s 3D world. The following are the characters cited to come to the game:

• Eric “Cartman”
• Stan Marsh
• Kyle Broflovski
• Kenny McCormick
• Butters (Professor Chaos)

New Game Mode: Fortnite Quints

The leak that has thrown a spanner in the works is Fortnite Quints. Fortnite, being a game that was hell-bent on establishing the Battle Royale game mode for decades now, will be introducing Fortnite Quints, a 5v5 game mode like conventional FPSs like CS2 and Valorant, which begs the question if Epic wants to expand the horizons of Fortnite esports.

All of the aforementioned updates will be complemented by minor additions of game elements. If everything from the leaks comes true, this will be a collab to remember for Fortnite players, especially those who are fans of South Park.
