Yoruichi Shihōin and Kisuke Urahara will join the Item Shop on August 7, with a global rollout completing by August 8, 2026.

Epic is expected to offer more than skins, including pickaxes, back blings, and emotes, with the estimated bundle around 2,800 V-Bucks.

Reaction notes compare Yoruichi’s skin appeal to other high-profile crossovers, highlighting strong fan interest.

There is broad speculation that the Bleach collaboration could expand into a larger event, similar in scope to other anime crossovers like Dragon Ball and My Hero Academia.

Fortnite is expanding its Bleach crossover with Wave 2, following earlier Bleach skins like Ichigo, Uryu Ishida, Orihime Inoue, and Rukia Kuchiki.

A teaser from Epic’s official German Fortnite channel on August 4 reveals two new skins, Yoruichi Shihōin and Kisuke Urahara, with the tagline “Don’t blink. We’re expecting you.”

Yoruichi Shihōin will receive a Fortnite skin as part of Bleach Wave 2, with in-game footage showcasing her appearance.

The Bleach designs draw from Thousand-Year Blood War, featuring a black sleeveless combat outfit, long dark hair, golden eyes, thigh-high boots, cat-like accessories, and glowing golden lightning effects reminiscent of Shunkō.

The August 8 release is teased for the new bleached cosmetics, with regional timing differences: German players access on August 8 (CEST) and North America on August 7 (8:00 PM ET).

The update is described as cosmetic-only for this wave, with potential re-release of original Bleach outfits for those who missed them.

Epic Games is expanding its Bleach crossover lineup, introducing Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War content eight months after the initial drop.

Teasers and leaks reinforce ongoing fan anticipation for future waves and a bigger Bleach presence in Fortnite.
