EA has promised to add the legendary anime series Naruto to Fortnite on December 2, 2021, after missing the initial release date of September 13, 2021. This new Naruto skin will be available as DLC at the Item Store, according to an old conversation between streamer Candywing and EA Chief Creative Officer Donald Mustard on September 7. Mustard confirmed that Naruto would be added as DLC, but not as part of Season 8.
Epic Games typically surveys players to gauge interest in adding new characters to the game, with Rick and Morty, Family Guy, Resident Evil, and Naruto being popular choices. Naruto has a high chance of joining Fortnite, especially since Mustard confirmed it.
If Naruto does appear, he will be a boss on a Mythic Kunais map with an Explosive Kunai Mythic weapon. This weapon has a range of 300 meters and a 4-second recharge cooldown, making it appealing to Naruto and Fortnite fans alike. Imagine the benefits of Naruto's arrival if you love both series.
The Fortnite leaker HYPEX has posted evidence of Naruto's return, including an NPC named "HeadbandK" and the addition of ramen to Creative Mode (a nod to Naruto's love for ramen). Other bloggers have leaked information suggesting that EA is working to secure the rights for the Naruto character.
With these developments, it seems likely that Naruto will finally make his debut in Fortnite. Share your thoughts in the comments below!
