Fortnite and South Park Collaboration Officially Teased: What Nintendo Switch Players Can Expect

Epic Games continues to expand the universe of its massively successful free-to-play title, Fortnite, with a new high-profile collaboration.

Following the game’s widely celebrated crossover with The Simpsons, Fortnite is now preparing to welcome characters and content from the iconic animated series, South Park.

The news surfaced on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), revealed by well-known leaker SamLeakss, who has a credible track record of accurate Fortnite disclosures.

This new partnership underscores Epic Games' ongoing commitment to delivering fresh, entertainment-driven experiences on popular platforms, including the Nintendo Switch. Fortnite, which debuted on the Nintendo Switch in June 2018, has maintained its popularity thanks to frequent events and collaborations with major franchises spanning comics, movies, and television.

With more than 400 million registered players worldwide, Fortnite’s crossover strategy allows players to experience unique in-game content and cosmetic items tied to beloved pop culture series.

The South Park-themed event, teased to launch "very soon," marks a long-anticipated collaboration that fans have discussed since the game’s early crossovers. Epic Games has not provided official statements yet, but details from reputable sources like SamLeakss indicate that Nintendo Switch users, as well as players on other supported platforms, can expect South Park skins, themed items, and possibly special challenges as part of this collaboration.

In similar past events, exclusive emotes, outfits, and event passes have been made available via the Fortnite Item Shop and can be accessed seamlessly through the Nintendo eShop.

Such moves consistently drive engagement and downloads, ensuring Fortnite's position among the top titles on the Nintendo Switch’s digital storefront. Historically, Epic Games’ approach to collaborations extends beyond simple branding, often incorporating narrative elements and in-game activities that resonate with a diverse audience.

With South Park’s culturally impactful humor and recognizable cast, this crossover is poised to attract both longtime Fortnite players and South Park enthusiasts.

From Fortnite’s Avengers events to its partnerships with franchises like Star Wars, each collaboration highlights the game’s cultural relevance and the effectiveness of Epic’s live-service content model. As of this report, no specific start date has been confirmed for the South Park crossover.

Players are encouraged to follow Epic Games’ official Fortnite channels for up-to-date news and announcements.

The rollout on Nintendo Switch is expected to coincide with other platforms, providing seamless access to the latest content through the in-game store and Nintendo eShop.

With collaborations like these, Fortnite continues to lead the industry in innovative crossover content, keeping its diverse player base engaged across platforms.
