While there have been several cartoon characters and anime-inspired outfits added to Fortnite over the years, this will be the first time that an actual anime character has been featured.
Naruto isn’t the only major franchise to take part in a major collaboration with Fortnite this month. A bunch of content inspired by the League of Legends video game was added this week and is still available to buy in store as of the time of this writing.
