Not only hasDarth Vader appeared on theFortniteBattle Island, allowing players to face him and obtain his lightsaber, but the previously rumoredNarutocosmetics are being added to the Item Shop on June 23 at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET. Team 7 (Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke) were added late last year, and now more fan-favorite characters are joining them.
These newNarutoskins had been rumored for a few days now, so it’s not really a surprise to see their addition toFortnite. Fans of both franchises are indubitably in for a real treat with all the content coming to the Item Shop.
