Solo Leveling has exploded in popularity since its anime adaptation debuted, quickly cementing itself as one of the most talked-about series of the year. With its action-packed story, amazing animation, and a protagonist who embodies power fantasy at its peak, the series has all the makings of a global phenomenon. However, in today's entertainment landscape, it takes more than just great content to become the world's biggest anime, strategic collaborations and brand expansions are just as important.

One collaboration that could significantly boost Solo Leveling’s reach is its recently confirmed partnership, via @Wensoing on X, with Fortnite. This crossover will feature skins of Sung Jinwoo and Cha Hae-In, along with additional cosmetics related to Jinwo’s iconic summons. While this is already a massive step in increasing the anime’s presence, the timing and execution of this collaboration with Fortnite will be key to determining how impactful it will be in cementing Solo Leveling’s status as an industry titan.

Fortnite x Solo Leveling Could Be a Game-Changer

Fortnite Has the Ability to Make Solo Leveling Even More Popular

For a long time, Fortnite has been a big force in the gaming world, with a history of successful collaborations that have helped brands become more famous. Given its massive player base and influence, this crossover could introduce millions of gamers to Solo Leveling who may not have otherwise discovered it. Sung Jinwoo and Cha Hae-In’s skins, along with the potential inclusion of Jinwoo’s summons as unique in-game mechanics, would be an immersive experience that fans of both Fortnite and the anime would appreciate.

However, timing is everything. If the collaboration launches alongside or just before Solo Leveling season 3 or right after the finale of the second season, it could be a powerful promotional tool, reigniting excitement among fans and drawing in newcomers. The ability to play as Jinwoo while experiencing the anime’s latest developments would be an unbeatable combination, reinforcing the anime’s growing dominance in pop culture.

What Solo Leveling Needs to Do to Make This Collaboration Unstoppable

Solo Leveling Needs to Make Sure This Epic Collaboration Comes to Life

Simply having skins in Fortnite is not enough. Solo Leveling needs to make sure this collaboration is as enjoyable as possible. Adding interactive elements, such as an event with themed challenges, a limited-time mode featuring Jinwoo’s summons, or even a special Fortnite short that introduces his story, could elevate this from a standard crossover to an unforgettable experience. Other major anime collaborations, such as Dragon Ball, Kaiju No. 8, and Attack on Titan, have successfully leveraged Fortnite’s interactive potential, and Solo Leveling should do the same.

Beyond Fortnite, Solo Leveling should capitalize on this momentum by expanding into other major gaming platforms. A potential action RPG adaptation or a gacha-style mobile game featuring Jinwoo’s summon system, Solo Leveling: Arise, could drive engagement even further. If Solo Leveling aims to sur other anime juggernauts, maximizing its presence in gaming is a key step. With the right moves, this collaboration could help the series reach a level of worldwide recognition that only the biggest anime franchises have achieved.
