Naruto is finally on his way to Fortnite Battle Royale, as was revealed by @qCandywing and Epic Games CCO Donald Mustard ahead of the start of the current season. The character’s release date announcement was made by Epic Games on their social media channels, as seen below.

What time does Naaruto come to Fortnite? 

Naruto characters will arrive on the island to battle it out with other comic book characters like Thanos and Batman on November 16, 2021. 

Chapter 2, Season 8 continues to rage on, and will not come to a close until December 5, 2021. Naruto will probably have left the Fortnite store before then, so if you want him be sure to grab him as soon as you can. 

Will Naruto Uzumaki be the only character from Naruto to be added?

An illustration done by Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto (seen in the header) and this page from one of Shueisha’s Jump magazines, shows that characters like Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake will also be added. Each of them comes with a unique item from the popular Japanese series, which you can see below.

Who is Naruto?

Naruto Uzumaki is the lead character of a Shonen Jump comic of the same name created by Masashi Kishimoto. He is the host of the mystical Nine Tailed Fox, which was once a grave threat to Konoha Village. While using the incredible power of the beast to protect the people of Konoha from threats, he trains as a ninja with his sights set on becoming the village leader, the Hokage.

Shonen Jump’s Naruto is 72 volumes long, and it’s chapters were released between 1999 and 2014. It was also adapted into a popular anime series that ran for 720 episodes. The designs in Fortnite are from the second half of the series, which aired under the title Naruto Shippuden.
