Fortnite appears to be gearing up for the return of its KPop crossover, with teasers and leaks strongly suggesting Fortnite KPop Demon Hunters Wave 2 will arrive this week. Epic Games has not confirmed a release date yet, but multiple signals now line up around an imminent drop.
Cryptic Teaser Sparks Wave 2 Speculation
Fortnite posted a short teaser on its official social channels on February 3, featuring the Korean phrase “영원히 깨질 수 없는.” Translated, it means “Forever unbreakable,” and it was enough to immediately set off speculation among fans and leakers.

The post quickly gained traction, pulling in millions of views within hours. Shortly after, several well known Fortnite leakers began sharing similar claims that KPop Demon Hunters Wave 2 is scheduled to launch sometime this week. Epic Games has yet to comment publicly, and all timing remains unconfirmed for now.

Why Epic Is Moving Quickly On Wave 2
The original Fortnite x KPop Demon Hunters collaboration launched in October 2025 and was widely viewed as a success. It introduced stylish skins, themed emotes, Jam Tracks, and Mythic weapons tied to the Netflix film.
Momentum around the crossover picked up again after the song Golden won the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media. With interest in the franchise renewed, Epic appears to be capitalising while attention is high.
Sources note that the turnaround between Wave 1 and Wave 2 is relatively fast by Fortnite crossover standards, but consistent with Epic’s approach when a collaboration performs well.
Leaked Content Expected In Wave 2
According to the leaker, Wave 2 will shift focus toward characters from the rival group Saja Boys, who played antagonistic roles in the film. Fan favourite Jinu is expected to headline the new cosmetic lineup.
Leaks suggest the following additions are planned for Wave 2:
- New KPop Demon Hunters skins based on Jinu and the Saja Boys
- Emotes inspired by KPop choreography
- Jam Tracks featuring Golden and How It’s Done
- A Sidekick cosmetic based on Derpy
- The return of KPop Demon Hunters Mythic weapons
While none of these details have been officially confirmed, the same leakers accurately detailed Wave 1 content ahead of its release.
Will Wave 1 Skins Return To The Item Shop?
With Wave 2 reportedly launching soon, there is strong expectation that cosmetics from the first wave will also return. The HUNTR/X group, Mira, Zoey, and Rumi, has been absent from the Item Shop for over a month.
Epic Games typically re releases earlier cosmetics when a second wave of a crossover launches, giving players another chance to pick up previously missed skins. If the pattern holds, Wave 1 items should rotate back into the shop alongside the new content.
When To Expect An Official Announcement
At the time of writing, Epic Games has not confirmed a release date or detailed the contents of Wave 2. However, multiple sources agree that the crossover is scheduled to arrive later this week, with a formal announcement expected shortly before launch.
Players are advised to keep an eye on Fortnite’s official social channels for confirmation, item previews, and shop rotation details as the update approaches.
