Epic Games has officially announced a collaboration between Fortnite and South Park, set to launch on January 9, 2026. The event features skins of main characters in mech suits, a remodeled Cartmanland area, and a new five-player mode. A free mini-pass will allow players to earn cosmetics during the limited-time crossover.
On January 7, 2026, Epic Games teased the upcoming South Park integration into Fortnite with a post reading “Chaos, loading…” alongside an image of Butters in a gaming headset. Hours later, a trailer leaked online, revealing details of the “Born in Chaos” event, which Epic confirmed with an official three-minute video stating, “PREPARE. FOR. CHAOS. South Park is coming to Fortnite. 1.9.26.”
The crossover introduces skins for Stan, Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, and Butters, all depicted in mech suits to match the game's scale—Butters as his Professor Chaos alter-ego. Leaked details suggest individual skins priced at 1,500 V-Bucks each, Towelie as a 1,200 V-Bucks sidekick pet, and a bundle for 3,200 to 3,800 V-Bucks, though official pricing remains unconfirmed. These will appear in the item shop starting January 9 at the daily reset.
Gameplay changes include transforming Wonkeeland into Cartmanland, inspired by the South Park episode. New items feature the Stick of Truth as a mythic weapon—rumored to alter the storm—and Cheesy Poofs as a consumable for health restoration and speed boosts. For the first time, Battle Royale supports five-player squads in a dedicated “Quintuplet Team” playlist. A free “Born in Chaos” mini-pass offers additional cosmetics, echoing past event passes.
The event draws from South Park lore, including references to Professor Chaos and the Stick of Truth from the show's episodes and Ubisoft's games. It runs until February 5, 2026, providing about a month of themed content. This follows Fortnite's recent Simpsons collaboration, highlighting Epic's push for major crossovers in Chapter 7 Season 1.
