One of Fortnite’s most awaited collaborations has finally arrived. On Wednesday, Epic Games’ popular battle royale Fortnite shared a graphic with the Fortnite and Naruto Shippuden logos, the text “Believe it!” and the date November 16, 2021. While the extent of the crossover is unknown, it comes after months of speculation and rumours about Naruto elements appearing in the game. The first hints that the anime icon might be making an appearance in the game were revealed in May as part of presentation documents made public during the Apple vs. Epic Games lawsuit.

Fortnite x Naruto will be added on the 16th along with a Hidden Leaf Village Creative Hub. The cosmetics & hub are *PLANNED* to release on that day @ 2 PM UTC / 9 AM ET (If the time changes please don't get mad at me lmao)

Subsequent leaks and datamines had indicated that Naruto was on his way to the game, both in the form of code names and overt references to the anime’s lore. In 2019, the game included an emote that mimicked the infamous “Naruto run.”

Given the popularity of Naruto, it’s not surprising that cosmetic items inspired by the franchise could make their way into Fortnite. Since its debut in 1999, Naruto has become one of the best-selling manga series of all-time. The worldwide appeal of Naruto makes it the perfect candidate for a Fortnite crossover, and it seems like a lot of fans of the series might be interested in checking out the skin when it releases.

Naruto Shippuden Items

In terms of the set and items, the Naruto skin will almost certainly include a back bling, emote, and harvesting tool. The harvesting tool would most likely be a kunai, based on Naruto’s character. The Ramen and Ninja Scroll have arrived in the Shop for Naruto Shippuden, according to prominent Fortnite leaker iFireMonkey. We can speculate on their use based on the appearance of these items and their use in the anime series. The Ramen Bowl is almost certainly an emote, while the Ninja Scroll is almost certainly a back bling. This scroll is similar to the one Jiraiya frequently wears on his back, as well as the one Naruto wears on his back when he is in Boss Sage mode.
