Fortnite and ‘Naruto’ have officially collaborated.

As reported by The Verge, starting Nov. 16, fans will be able to play as characters from ‘Naruto: Shippuden’ in Epic Games’ battle royal.

The collaboration will include four ‘Naruto’ characters in the in-game shop, a Naruto glider, two loading screens and two emotes. In addition, if you need new items for your game, you can also check out platforms like the ones that sell csgo skins.

The four characters include Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Kakashi Hatake and Sasuke Uchiha.  

A throwable paper bomb kunai has also been added to the game and players will be able to meet Kakashi Hatake as the NCP of Fortnite Island.

Players will also be able to receive quests from Kakashi Hatake and explore an entire Naruto-themed map based on the Hidden Leaf Village from the series. 

Fortnite’s collaboration with ‘Naruto’ is the latest of its collaborations. Some collaborations include ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Marvel.’ The current season isn’t tied to the existing brand, however, the collaboration introduces anime characters to the Fortnite island. 

The collaboration between Fortnite and ‘Naruto’ has undoubtedly excited fans of both franchises. As anime continues to gain popularity worldwide, it’s no surprise that Epic Games has decided to add ‘Naruto’ characters and themes to its battle royale game. With the introduction of quests and a Naruto-themed map, players can now fully immerse themselves in the world of the Hidden Leaf Village and experience the thrill of being a ninja in battle.

Moreover, the addition of the Small Katana, a traditional Japanese sword, would be a perfect complement to the Naruto collaboration. As a popular weapon in Japanese culture, the Small Katana would not only add an exciting new element to the game, but it would also be a nod to anime and the rich history and tradition of Japan. With the success of the Naruto collaboration, Epic Games may consider adding more anime-themed content in the future, including more weapons and characters that fans can play as.
