Fans can expect this crossover to become a part of the game on August 8, 2023, coinciding with the anticipated release of update 25.30 on the same day.
As part of this crossover, there’s speculation about introducing cosmetic outfits in the Item Shop based on Jujutsu Kaisen characters like Gojo, Megumi, Yuji, and Nobara.
Alongside these outfits, players might also get access to accessories such as a Back Bling and Pickaxe, as hinted by various leaks. Additionally, there’s talk of a potential mini-pass event similar to the Star Wars: Find the Force event. This event could offer players free cosmetic items and even a mythic item in the game’s loot pool.
Introduction of New Augments With Each Fortnite Update
The tweet is from the official account of Fortnite Assist that the 25.30 patches might bring in two brand-new Augments:
#Fortnite Hotfix:
– The Primal Companion and Wildwasp Weaponry Augments/Perks have been disabled pic.twitter.com/7Nyk5mbOip

Each time Fortnite releases a new content update, a fresh batch of Augments is introduced. The Futurama update brought in two additional Augments, which boosted the performance of pistols and scoped weapons for players.
However, not long after, the game’s developers disabled two previously available Augments – Primal Companion and Wildwasp Weaponry – in all game modes.
Despite various leaks suggesting that the upcoming 25.30 patch might introduce a pair of new Augments, players remain hopeful that the disabled ones will eventually return and become part of the lineup of Reality Augments once again.
Season of Weapon Surprises
Fortnite Content Creator iFireMonkey tweeted, “Under two days remain until Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun is thrown into the Fortnite vault, use it before it’s gone!”

In patch 25.30, the Shiny Metal Raygun used by Bender will no longer be available in the game, as players will no longer have the opportunity to use it. However, rumors are circulating on social media that a Backpack Minigun might take its place.
Throughout Chapter 4, Season 3, Epic Games has consistently introduced new weapons to Fortnite with each update. Given the growing popularity of the Mammoth Pistol that was added in the last update, it is probable that the speculated new weapon will eventually make its way into the game.
WWE Collaboration Tease in 25.30 Update
Per the well-known data miner HYPEX, the forthcoming 25.30 update will likely include a hint about an upcoming Fortnite collaboration with WWE, set to launch soon.
