Imagine eagerly waiting for an epic crossover between two of your absolute favorites, only to have those plans shattered by corporate disputes. We know that’s likely how fans of NewJeans and Fortnite are feeling after hearing that the highly-anticipated collab will reportedly be canceled. But what exactly led the developer to make this decision, and is it final already? Join us as we dive into a complete discussion on the latest update regarding the Fortnite x NewJeans collaboration below.
Fortnite x NewJeans Collab Will Possibly Be Canceled Due to Corporate Drama
After all the massive anticipation and meticulous preparation, it appears that the collaboration between 4th-generation stars NewJeans and the prominent game Fortnite may ultimately be canceled.
Fortnite’s most well-known leaker, @JorgeMost, shared an update a few days ago, hinting at the potential cancellation of the collaboration between the popular game and K-pop’s 4th-gen superstars, NewJeans.
According to the social media influencer, both parties had initially completed key preparations for the collaboration. The special NewJeans concerts and Fortnite skins were in development, and fans were eagerly awaiting the final result.
Unfortunately, NewJeans has become entangled in a corporate dispute between HYBE and former ADOR CEO Min Heejin. This dispute has led to internal conflicts within ADOR, especially after HYBE replaced Min Heejin with their new CEO, Kim Ju Young.
Moreover, the group has stepped forward to express their own opinions in an independent live broadcast, revealing alleged mistreatment by HYBE and voicing their strong support for Min Heejin. This broadcast positioned NewJeans not merely as victims but as active participants in the conflict.
As a result, the ongoing corporate drama has now become a crucial factor in determining whether Fortnite will proceed with the collaboration with the group.

“The Fortnite x NewJeans collaboration is facing complications and may be canceled.
The group is going through internal issues, and this could affect the release, although their skins and concert were already in development. I will update you if I receive more information.”

Was it Final?
While rumors have widely circulated that the Fortnite x NewJeans collab would be canceled, this decision is not yet final.
Previously, @JorgeMost also mentioned that there had been no official statements or indications of a definitive cancellation for this crossover. After all, Fortnite had already set a date and planned a concert for NewJeans, and special NewJeans characters and skins have been in development for some time.
Moreover, despite all the controversy, NewJeans’ popularity continues to skyrocket in the international music industry, with fans still eagerly waiting for the collaboration to take place. For this reason, @JorgeMost believes it’s highly unlikely that Fortnite will fully cancel this project.
Podría ser, no entiendo muy bien lo que está pasando con el grupo la verdad, yo hasta el momento no he recibido nueva información sobre NewJeans, así que no sé decirte si ha sido cancelada.

Yo creo que sigue en pie, porque la colaboración ya tenía fecha y un concierto…
“I don’t really understand what’s going on with the group, to be honest. So far, I haven’t received any new information about NewJeans, so I can’t say if it has been canceled.
I believe it’s still on track because the collaboration already had a set date and a concert planned, but since I leaked it many months in advance, there could be changes—one never knows. If I find out anything more on the matter, I’ll let you all know.”
