When it comes to collabs, barely any game will beat Fortnite. Be it with John Wick, Star Wars, or LEGO, this popular battle royale title has given us so many memorable opportunities to live our favorite franchise in our favorite game.
After tying up with popular animes like Jujutsu Kaisen, Naruto, One Piece, and many more, Fortnite is once again gearing up to collaborate with another famous anime title, My Hero Academia. However, this is not the first time this Epic Games title has gone shoulder to shoulder with this renowned anime.
My Hero Academia Villains in Fortnite
This is going to be the third time that Fortnite is going to collaborate with My Hero Academia. The last time it happened was in Chapter 4 Season 1 and Chapter 4 Season 4. Now, according to credible leaker/data miner Wenso and insider HYPEX, the upcoming wave of this dedicated crossover is going to feature My Hero Academia villains in the game.
INSIDER: A League of Villains wave for My Hero Academia is releasing soon!
The wave includes Shigaraki and Toga, then Dabi or Twice (not sure who).

The probable characters are Himiko Toga, Tomura Shigaraki, and Dabi, or Twice. However, all this information is from last year, so there are chances that some stuff might change, and we can see other characters from that franchise as well.
Now the question arises: when are we going to see these villain skins? As of now, there is no such information from the leakers regarding the launch date of this collaboration.

However, during the v29.30 update on April 23, 2024, we can see a dark background in the item shop. After it, speculations have begun that this theme is connected to the My Hero Academia crossover.
Previous Fortnite and My Hero Academia Collaboration
The last time the Shonen anime tied the knot with Fortnite was in September 2023. In that collab, three new skins were added to the game: Shoto Todoroki, Eijiro Kirishima, and Mina Ashido. Every skin featured an additional outfit for each one.
The bundle of Todoroki showcased a glider, back blind, pickaxe, emote, and a wrap, making it the most attractive bundle. Todoroki’s skin with the back bling costs around 1500 V-bucks, where an additional 900 V-bucks will get you the whole bundle, which would include the other four items.
Unlike Todoroki, Kirishima, and Ashido’s bundle, it was not that far-flexed. Both had a pickaxe and back bling. But Ashido had an exclusive emote called Cultural Festival Dance, which would cost an extra 500 V-bucks. Both the skins cost 1500 V-bucks each just like Todoroki whereas the Kirishim and Ashido cost 2800 V-bucks.
That’s all from our side. If the rumors come out to be true, then the third wave of My Hero Academia collaboration could reportedly land in Fortnite anytime this week.
