Fortnite item shop: Everything coming to the game

The Fortnite item shop is where players will find all the latest cosmetic content in the game, from skins to emotes, dances, and more. At the time of writing, we are just over a week into 2026, so it’s no surprise that there is a range of new items coming to join the content that is already part of Fortnite’s current item shop (as of January 8, 2026). 

We’re going to look at all the confirmed new items in the Fortnite shop, but we’re also going to dive into some rumours and leaks from prominent Fortnite leakers and dataminers.

Currently, the most significant new content arriving at the shop is cosmetics related to a crossover between Fortnite and South Park, titled “Born In Chaos.” A trailer released for the collaboration revealed that five new skins will be added to the shop for the four main South Park characters – Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny – as well as the popular character Butters. The skins show the kids in mech suits, similar to the skins that Morty from Rick and Morty and Bart and Lisa Simpson received during their Fortnite crossovers. Each of the mech skins has a unique design to reflect their characters.

As well as the mech skins, a Sidekick based on the talking towel South Park character Towelie was also teased in the trailer. As with most of the other Fortnite Sidekicks, Towelie will probably be coming to the item shop in Fortnite. However, there are rumours that a South Park mini-battle pass will be available, and if this is the case, Towelie could be an item locked into the pass. That being said, it seems more likely that he will be a shop item. 

In the weekly shop preview posted on the official Fortnite social media accounts, the following items were officially confirmed. 

According to various leaks, there is a ton of new content that could be dropping in the Fortnite item shop over the next few months. Fortnite leak X account @FortniteFNLK offered a list of content that is rumoured to be making an appearance. Check out the table below for a quick rundown of rumours as reported by @FortniteFNLK. 

There is also a range of returning items speculated to be coming back to the Fortnite item shop, which were also listed by @FortniteFNLK. Take a look at the table below to see what is rumoured to be coming back to Fortnite in 2026.

That’s everything that we know about the current leaks, rumours, and speculation regarding items potentially coming to the Fortnite shop. Remember that there is no official confirmation for the items listed above that are marked as part of the rumoured new and returning items, so take it with a grain of salt until Epic Games has confirmed anything officially. That being said, it does seem likely that some of these items will be available in the shop. 

The most believable rumours are those relating to the return of the popular Resident Evil cosmetic bundles and the new Resident Evil skin for the character Grace Ashcroft. Resident Evil Requiem is set to release on February 27, 2026, so it would make sense for the existing skins from the franchise to come back. The Resident Evil content is rumoured to release in March 2026, which lines up well with the Requiem release date. It also works to release a Fortnite skin for Grace, as players switch between her and Leon Kennedy, who has a skin as part of the existing bundles, in the new Requiem game.
