The official Fortnite Twitter account teased the next anime crossover in Fortnite by posting a picture of what appears to be Shenron, the Eternal Dragon from the Dragon Ball universe. We can clearly recognize the image of the supernatural creature, but the image provides further confirmation. Including the names “Bird Studio” and “Toei Animation” in the image means that Dragon Ball will make its way into Fortnite.
According to the announcement, the crossover will start on August 16, 2022.. Epic Games may unveil the crossover on that day. However, as of right now, everything that will be featured in the event is still unclear. Epic did not disclose further details about the crossover. Players can anticipate bundles, character skins, and equipment. The announcement's inclusion of Shenron may foreshadow upcoming alterations to Fortnite's map or the introduction of limited-time game types. There could be a special limited-time event where players must collect six Dragon Balls and summon Shenron to make a wish. We can only wait for August 16, or possibly before, to be sure.
