A possible Puss in Boots collaboration is generating speculation among Fortnite players following reports of encrypted cosmetics featuring a voiced animal Sidekick, an unusual character skin and several matching accessories. The reported cosmetic configurations resemble characters from DreamWorks’ Puss in Boots franchise, although their identities remain unconfirmed.
Fortnite leakers ShiinaBR and HYPEX shared details on November 12, 2026, describing cosmetic characteristics that could point to Puss in Boots and Death, the wolf antagonist from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Similar descriptions of the encrypted cosmetics have circulated within Fortnite’s leak community, but Epic Games has not officially announced a collaboration.
The most distinctive reported addition is a furry Sidekick that walks upright on two legs rather than four. According to the leak, the companion features feather and beard materials, selectable sword and hat-off styles, and matching Kicks cosmetics.
The Sidekick reportedly has its own emote and voiced reactions available in 12 languages, including different emotional responses such as happiness and anger. These characteristics have encouraged speculation that the companion could represent Puss in Boots, whose feathered hat, sword and distinctive facial fur are recognizable elements of his design.
However, the encrypted cosmetic descriptions do not establish the character’s identity. No officially confirmed Puss in Boots character model has been revealed.
A second encrypted cosmetic configuration reportedly describes a male character skin featuring fur, a tail and an optional hood style. The outfit is said to include a custom lobby pose, glowing visual effects around the head and body, and a specialized head skeleton that may accommodate a nonhuman character model.
These characteristics have prompted speculation that the skin could represent Death, the hooded wolf from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. The resemblance remains a theory rather than confirmation that the character is coming to Fortnite.
The reported cosmetic collection also includes a traversal emote featuring a prop, spinning effects and music. A special version of the emote is reportedly activated when used with the associated character skin.
Additional accessories are said to include a Back Bling and Pickaxe with custom visual effects. The leakers also describe pirate-themed Item Shop presentation graphics and a bundle containing both the character skin and Sidekick.
The pirate-themed presentation is particularly relevant to Fortnite’s current Treasure Hunters season, which introduced pirate-inspired content and licensed collaborations in November.
Fortnite has already expanded its Sidekick offerings through collaborations, including Tony Tony Chopper from One Piece. The character accompanied the broader Fortnite One Piece crossover, demonstrating how licensed characters can appear as companions rather than conventional playable outfits.
Epic Games introduced Sidekicks as cosmetic companions that accompany players across supported Fortnite experiences and react to their surroundings. Their appearance customization and accessories vary by companion, while their presence does not provide a competitive gameplay advantage.
A Puss in Boots release featuring both a companion and a playable character would therefore fit Fortnite’s existing cosmetic system. Nevertheless, the reported bundle structure, character identities and associated features have not been confirmed by Epic Games.
No release date, V-Bucks pricing or official promotional artwork has been announced for the rumored collaboration. The encrypted cosmetic descriptions suggest that additional content may be under development, but they do not establish when it might become available or whether the Puss in Boots interpretation is correct.
Until the cosmetics are decrypted or officially revealed, both the proposed Puss in Boots Sidekick and Death character skin should be treated as unconfirmed speculation.
