Fortnite 18.40 update early patch notes - Naruto skins, Mythic Kunai, and more

Fortnite version 18.40 is almost here, and it'll bring a slew of new features, including Naruto skins and cosmetics, a Mythic Kunai weapon, the next two phases of The Convergence, and more. Season 8 of Fortnite has already provided plenty of content for players. Epic Games threw in crossovers with Ariana Grande, Resident Evil, and more, in addition to map modifications induced by The Convergence occurring in the middle of the island.

Things, on the other hand, do not appear to be slowing down anytime soon. At least not in Fortnite version 18.40, which promises to bring things back to life. It's intended to kick off the Naruto x Fortnite collaboration, which will include skins, cosmetics, and a Mythic Kunai weapon. However, it isn't all. In this patch, the Convergence is also thought to be progressing into its following two stages, among other things.

Fortnite update 18.40 downtime

The Fortnite servers will go down at 9 a.m. UTC on November 16 in preparation for the update. It will take about 30 minutes to complete, following which the update will be ready for download.

Patch notes for Fortnite update 18.40

Naruto cosmetics and skins

The Naruto x Fortnite collaboration is finally set to happen in Fortnite version 18.40, after months of speculations and enthusiasm. It will not only have a Naruto skin, but also skins for other well-known characters like Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura.

Mythic Kunai weapon

Naruto will also be accessible as a boss battle, according to leaks. He is said to drop a new weapon, the Mythic Kunai if he is defeated. If the reports are accurate, Fortnite gamers will be able to wreak havoc on the battlefield like full-fledged ninjas.

The Convergence Stages 4 & 5

Over the course of the last few updates, the Convergence has shifted. It is now at the third stage. In the most recent patch, though, it is projected to begin its fourth and fifth stages.
