As Fortnite continues to host crossover events with various iconic franchises, one notable absence is the beloved manga/anime series JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. With its rich tapestry of JoJos across different arcs, a collaboration featuring this legendary series would undoubtedly elevate Fortnite’s diverse landscape. Fans have long awaited the opportunity for JoJo’s unique characters to join the ranks of the Battle Royale’s roster.
The potential for a Fortnite x JoJo collaboration has garnered significant interest. Should this partnership come to fruition, numerous characters and their distinctive stands would lend a vibrant flair to the game, offering fresh skins and thematic elements that expand Fortnite’s already eclectic universe.

Rohan Kishibe, a passionate mangaka, constantly seeks new narratives, sometimes leading him into bizarre situations. His stand, Heaven’s Door, grants him the ability to manipulate reality by writing narratives into existence, allowing him to create intense and popular manga. His dedication to storytelling often makes him oblivious to significant events happening around him, adding a humorous contrast to his character.
With his popularity, particularly in spin-off stories, Rohan would be an excellent candidate for a Fortnite skin—perhaps allowing players to create their own narratives within the game.

With his flamboyant appearance and the extremely cool design of his stand, Silver Chariot, he is well-positioned to receive a Fortnite skin that embodies his flair.
Although his iconic hairstyle might make him a target in battle, Polnareff’s bravado and charm make him an endearing choice for players seeking vanity with a sprinkle of humor.

Growing up in her father’s shadow while finding her own voice in a harsh environment, Jolyne’s arc represents empowerment and resilience.

A stylized skin for Jolyne in Fortnite would not only capture her striking persona but also honor her position as a pivotal character in the series.
