Epic Games announced that on January 9 Fortnite will begin a crossover event with the animated series South Park, bringing new character skins, themed locations and a limited-time game mode to the title.
The event’s battle pass, titled Born in Chaos, will add skins for Eric Cartman, Kyle, Kenny, Stan and Butters. Butters appears in the Professor Chaos persona, while Cartman is available in the AWESOM-O robot costume. The collaboration also introduces Towelie as a companion character.
The crossover’s story element centers on Butters using the Stick of Truth to pull his friends into the Fortnite world. The Stick of Truth was a central artifact in the 2014 role‑playing game South Park: The Stick of Truth, and it serves here as the narrative device that brings the characters into the battle royale.
A new temporary map called Cartmanland will be available as part of the event, featuring locations and set dressing inspired by the show. Players will be able to explore these themed areas and encounter references to familiar episode moments throughout the map.
Fortnite will also add a new limited-time mode named Quints, designed for five-player teams. This mode will run only for a short window, concluding on February 5.
Beyond skins and the new mode, the collaboration includes unique cosmetic items and numerous callbacks to classic South Park episodes, giving fans of the series and Fortnite players alike additional themed content to experience during the event period.
