Fortnite is doing a crossover with Naruto Shippuden, the wildly popular shonen anime series.
After maybe a year’s worth of speculation, the spikey-haired ninja is indeed coming to the battle royale phenomenon that is Fortnite. Epic Games finally made it all official on Wednesday with a single “Believe it!” teaser, a quote the character Naruto repeatedly says in the anime’s English dub.
Check out Epic’s teaser for the Fortnite x Naruto Shippuden crossover for yourself below. It’s all coming out next week on Nov. 16, so anyone eager to try out whatever activities, skins or items coming with the crossover won’t have to wait long.

Rumors of a Fortnite x Naruto Shippuden crossover have existed in data mining circles for a while. HYPEX, a well-known Fortnite data miner, even shared details about Naruto appearing in Fortnite hours before Epic Games made the official announcement.
Fortnite x Naruto will be added on the 16th along with a Hidden Leaf Village Creative Hub. The cosmetics & hub are *PLANNED* to release on that day @ 2 PM UTC / 9 AM ET (If the time changes please don't get mad at me lmao)

Until Epic makes these alleged details official, take all of this with a grain of salt.
These Fortnite crossovers seem only ever to get bigger. Last week, Jinx from League of Legends hopped into the build wars and before that there was Batman, Venom, Spider-Man, the Predator and virtually every other character ever in the history of pop culture.
