Naruto skin might release on September 21 in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8

The anime industry is booming at the moment, and Naruto is arguably the biggest anime series ever. Epic Games has been trying to acquire the character rights for Naruto for a long time, and leaks suggest that the developer has finally succeeded.

Hence, Epic Games won't cause much delay in releasing Naruto now that the formalities have been completed.

Interestingly, Naruto's 22nd anniversary will take place on September 21, making it the ideal date for Fortnite to release the anime character.


What to expect from the Naruto crossover in Fortnite?

Even though Naruto himself is one of the most popular anime characters ever, fans assume that the upcoming crossover will feature more than just one Naruto skin.

As mentioned in the tweet above, the crows and banners added to Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 surprisingly match Shishu Uchiha's crow eye. Hence, players might witness the Uchiha skin alongside Naruto as well.

Leaks have also suggested that an explosive Kunai will be available with Naruto. It might be a Mythic weapon.

Lastly, it is being rumored that more anime characters will arrive in Fortnite following the Naruto crossover. Leakers have pointed towards 'several' anime collabs, implying that the likes of Goku from Dragon Ball Z might be available in the Item Shop soon.

All in all, Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 has been a massive hit up until now. The lack of map changes has been the only bone of contention among players, but it seems like Epic Games will gradually introduce new POIs this season.
