After weeks of speculation, a relatively new Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 leak confirms that Eren Yeager from Attack on Titan will be joining the metaverse next season. While the model of the skin being added to the game is yet to be leaked, leakers have confirmed (via an insider) that the collaboration is happening for sure.
With Season 4 Part 3 of Attack on Titan being the finale of the franchise, this was the only logical time period for Epic Games to have a character(s) from the anime/manga appear in the game.
That said, while the leak confirms that Eren Yeager will be a 'bonus skin' in the Battle Pass, it's likely that others, such as Mikasa Ackerman, Armin Arlert, and Reiner Braun, may get added via the Item Shop. Apart from characters and skins, the developers have a lot more planned for this collaboration.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 will feature Omni-Directional Mobility Gear from Attack on Titan
If having Eren Yeager as a wearable Outfit isn't enough, according to leakers, the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear from Attack on Titan will be added in-game as well. It will be called a Waist Grapper and will be classified as a 'Mythic' item.
On that note, based on the information that's available, the item will be featured in the key art of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2. Eren Yeager will be seen wearing the item and will most likely be in the process of using it. This will allow players to get a basic understanding of how it might function in-game.
Given that this item will require a lot of space and surface area to use, players can also expect to see multiple city-based POIs on the map. The alternative to this will be Epic Games releasing a Creator map for players to fully understand the uses of the Waist Grappler.
That said, it's very likely that those who manage to master this new item will come out on top of things in every engagement. With the ability to effortlessly move through the air, flanking will become a staple combat tactic in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2.
Will Titans be added in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2?
Well, as of the moment, there are no Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 leaks that suggest Titans will spawn on the island next season. While it would be possible, considering Klombos once roamed the island in Chapter 3, Titans are much larger in nature.
Nevertheless, with there being different classes of Titans, Epic Games may add in the smallest class to roam the island. Much like Klombos, players would be able to interact with them to an extent, engage them in battle, or much like in the anime, use ODMs on them to gain movement speed/elevation when needed.
Titans like Pieck Finger and Porco Galliard would be the best examples of what the developers could add to the game. However, for the time being, there is no confirmation of the same. Players will have to wait for more leaks to come out before anything can be said with absolute certainty.
