Fortnite announces Naruto Shippuden crossover coming

Prepare yourself: Epic Games stated on Wednesday that Naruto: Shippuden will make an appearance in Fortnite. For the time being, we don't have any information on specific characters or new items, but we do know that the reported crossover event will take place on November 16. (Such a short time!)

In a Tweet from the official Fortnite account, Epic Games confirmed the news. Naruto is one of the most popular and well-known anime series of all time, named after its first ninja protagonist. The game will include elements from Naruto: Shippuden, a television series that followed part two of the manga and aired from 2007 to 2017. We can expect a new character, as well as Naruto-themed stuff like a spray, back bling, music track, and two loading screens if the crossover is anything like past ones.

There has been a lot of news about Fortnite recently. Epic Games announced earlier this week that Jinx from League of Legends will be joining the game. In addition, the game was updated with Dune content just in time for the film's release. We'll finally have a cosmos in which Timothée Chalamet and Naruto coexist.

Players should "prepare their pockets," according to HYPEX, meaning that this agreement would bring a slew of new things to the in-game shop. It's safe to assume Naruto himself will be a playable skin, but datamined information has also led to suspicion that Kakashi or Sasuke may also be aboard the Battle Bus.

We won't have to wait long to discover what Epic has in store for this cooperation. It'll be fascinating to see if this leads to further crossovers with well-known anime and manga series in the future.
