Is South Park coming to Fortnite? Release date speculation and what to expect
I'm goin' down to Fortnite, gonna have myself a time.
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.
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: Potential skins
Returning to our leaker friend HYPEX, they have revealed several details about the supposed event.
There will be multiple new skins – likely the main four characters of Stan, Kyle, Eric and Kenny – with the characters in mechs, similar to Bart in the recent Simpsons event.
The map will also receive an update, with at least one new Boss added, with their own Medallion, and the 'Everyone Kills Kenny' Rift Anomaly.
As for items, an unknown consumable will be added, as well as the Stick of Truth Mythic, a reference to the South Park RPG of the same name.
Of course, we would expect to see a few more cosmetics added to the game as well, including Emotes, Back Blinds and more.
While HYPEX is a noted leaker, all of this information should still be taken with a grain of salt, as even the best get it wrong sometimes!
