Epic Games will roll out a Fortnite crossover with South Park on January 9, 2026, and recent leaks have sketched out what players can expect from the event.
Leaked files and screenshots circulated on January 7 suggest the event is called Born in Chaos and will include five new skins for the series’ core kids: Stan, Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, and Butters. The assets imply those characters will appear in larger, mech-like rigs or exoskeletons to match Fortnite’s typical player models, a strategy Epic has used before for licensed crossovers.
The leaks also list Towelie as a Sidekick, which would slot him into the smaller companion role rather than a full playable skin. A separate tease from Fortnite’s official account showed an image of Butters, confirming the collaboration ahead of the full reveal – Epic’s post can be seen on X.

Players tracking the crossover will find this follows earlier chatter about a Fortnite x South Park collab; a previous social media leak flagged the partnership in October 2025 and set expectations for an unusual team-up between Epic and the South Park property. Read the earlier leak report for background on how the rumor first spread. Everything here is based on leaked assets and the brief Epic tease. Full details, modes, and any associated cosmetics or limited-time challenges should go live when the event launches on January 9.
