When is South Park coming to Fortnite? Release date and South Park skins

South Park is officially heading to Fortnite!

The iconic animation is set for a crossover with Epic Games' hit shooter, bringing with it South Park skins, POIs, events and more.

If you're excited for the event, here's what you need to know about the Fortnite South Park release date, and all the upcoming South Park skins too.

South Park returned from a long hiatus in 2025, but who cares about that when 2026 is the year it lands in Fortnite?

Fortnite has already seen plenty of iconic animated shows make their way into the game, whether that's The Simpsons, Family Guy or Rick and Morty, and now it's South Park's turn.

So, when does the South Park event begin in Fortnite? What's going to be included? Here's everything we know so far.

When is South Park coming to Fortnite? Release date confirmed

South Park is officially coming to Fortnite, as confirmed by a recent teaser posted to Fortnite's official social media channels.

Captioned, "Chaos, loading...", the post also comes with a confirmed release date for the event – the South Park x Fortnite event will begin on 9th January 2026.

In December 2025, X account HYPEX revealed that not only is a South Park collaboration on the way, but it's set to be a big one too (more on that down below).

What to expect from the South Park x Fortnite crossover: All South Park skins

The highlight of the collaboration is a set of five new South Park skins in Fortnite. These skins are:

• Stan
• Kyle
• Kenny
• Cartman
• Butters (Professor Chaos)

Since they're all kids, these will all be mech skins, similar to the treatment Bart got in the recent Simpsons crossover.

These skins will likely cost 1,500 V-Bucks each, or be available as part of a larger South Park Bundle.

As well as that, it looks like Towelie will be joining the game as a Sidekick, although this has not been confirmed.

In a teaser trailer for the event, we also see a bunch of references from the show being added to the game, such as a Cheesy Poofs Consumable.

The map is receiving an overhaul, with the Wonkeeland POI being changed to Cartmanland, and according to leaker Hypex, will feature at least one new Boss.

There will also be a new Rift Anomaly, dubbed 'Everyone Kills Kenny'.

Of course, we would expect to see a few more cosmetics added to the game as well, including Emotes, Back Blings and more.
