Epic Games are reportedly bringing cosmetic items and outfits from the Dragon Ball Z series to Fortnite, and here’s everything we know about this crossover, including the expected release date and leaks.
Epic Games have brought a plethora of different crossovers to Fortnite, with popular fictional characters like Spider-Man and Indiana Jones becoming available as cosmetic skins for players to unlock.
The recent Naruto crossover added new anime skins to the battle royale title, and Epic Games reportedly have plans to bring even more fan-favorite anime characters. We’ll go over everything we know about the Fortnite and Dragon Ball Z crossover.
Fortnite x Dragon Ball Z crossover expected release date
At the time of writing, Epic Games haven’t announced the official release date of the Fortnite and Dragon Ball Z crossover, but one theory suggests that it’s set to arrive at the end of August 2022.
On July 9, notable Fortnite leaker ‘ShiinaBR’ tweeted that the Celebration Battle Bus will disappear on August 16, just 3 days before the release of the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie.
This makes sense as Epic Games have previously released cosmetic sets for Uncharted and Doctor Strange around the times their respective movies were released in theaters. Shiina claimed that we could see a Dragon Ball Battle Bus similar to the one in the Naruto crossover.
This rumor was supported by prominent leaker ‘HYPEX’ who also claimed that the Fortnite and Dragon Ball collaboration is set to happen towards the end of August, after Epic’s summer break.
So, we might see these skins arrive around August 19. However, this is all just speculation, and we’ll be sure to update this guide as soon as the official release date is confirmed by Epic Games.
Fortnite x Dragon Ball Z crossover leaks
The v21.20 update added a new Stamina Prop to Fortnite’s Creative mode, and this new addition closely resembles Capsule Corp from Dragon Ball Z because of its logo and color scheme.
The Capsule Corporation is a company that was founded by Bulma’s father in the Dragon Ball Z series. HYPEX pointed out that the Stamina Prop is not only similar to Capsule Corp but also has outlines like other anime cosmetics.
This caused mass speculation that Goku and other Dragon Ball Z characters might be making their way to Fortnite in a future update. This would be a great follow-up to the Naruto crossover in the game.
Fortnite x Dragon Ball Z crossover leaked skins
On July 18, HYPEX tweeted that the Fortnite x Dragon Ball Z collaboration will feature 4 different skins, claiming that Goku, Vegeta & Beerus are confirmed to arrive in the battle royale title.
The leaker then added that while the fourth skin is currently unknown, it will most likely be a female character like Bulma. Players might be able to unlock these outfits by completing tasks similar to the Nindo challenges in the Naruto Rivals event.
Leaked Fortnite x Dragon Ball Z Kamehameha Mythic
A few leaks also suggest that the Dragon Ball Z collaboration will bring a brand-new Kamehameha Mythic weapon to Fortnite. While it’s unclear how this will function, it will most likely let you fire power blasts at your enemies.
It’s worth keeping in mind that these are currently just leaks, and this information has not been confirmed by the developers themselves. We’ll keep checking for any official announcements of a DBZ crossover in Fortnite.
