South Park is back with a bang in 2026, teaming up with Fortnite for an exciting crossover event called South Park: Born in Chaos. Starting January 9 and running until February 5, players can jump into the game dressed as their favorite characters: Cartman, Kyle, Stan, Kenny, and Butters, all in cool mech suits. Imagine the fun of repeatedly “killing Kenny” in-game!
One of the standout features of this crossover is a new playlist called Quints. This lets teams add an extra player, which is perfect for Butters, who can finally join his friends instead of hanging back as the odd one out.
The event is packed with South Park-themed items. For example, Cheesy Poofs can heal your character or hurt opponents. Kenny’s Respawn Token allows players to come back after being eliminated, while the Stick of Truth can change how the Storm behaves in the game—a nod to the original 2014 video game.
Players can also grab a free Born in Chaos pass to unlock 13 unique items, such as the Cheesy Poofs Rocketship Emote and a Terrance and Phillip Pickaxe. Complete all the quests, and you’ll earn the Imaginationland Airship Glider.
For fans, Towelie makes a return as a sidekick. Remember: If you dive into this chaotic journey in Fortnite, don’t forget to bring a towel!
