Fortnite is no stranger to crossovers. There have been so many characters from different IPs that have joined the ranks of Fortnite. We have characters from Sony, Microsoft, Marvel, and DC. It is safe to assume that no one is off limits when it comes to joining Fortnite. Anime characters have started to make their way to Fortnite too.
Naruto, one of the biggest animes in the world, has joined Fortnite already. And now, based on leaks, it looks like Dragon Ball will be coming as well. It also looks like it will have an event along with it. Based on Fortnite previous events, we can assume that the skins will be in the Fortnite Item Shop, while the event will offer smaller cosmetic rewards.
These leaks are looking likely, but just to be on the safe side, it is best not to get your hopes up too quickly, since not all the details haven’t been discussed.
Anyway, let’s get into everything we know about the leaks so far, and when we might expect this Dragon Ball event to release.
Expected Dragonball Crossover Release Timeframe?
So when can players expect this Dragon Ball event and crossover to release? Well, if we consider that a new Dragon Ball movie is coming out, we will have to expect it sometime then. Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is set to release on August 19th. That is right around the corner. If the leaks are true, then the best time for this event is a few days earlier to build more hype before the release of the movie.
However, it is also possible it could happen on the same day that the movie is released or even a little bit after. This will make a lot of Dragon Ball fans happy and it will help spread word of mouth, which will help promotion for the movie. Releasing it early next month would be a little too late, as the hype might have died down by them.
How Long Will The Event Last?
It is impossible to guess, but based on Naruto’s event, it will likely run for a week, maybe a few days over. However, leakers seem to believe that this will run for a whopping 7 weeks. That is a long time for a collaboration event. It might be the longest event Fortnite has ever had. Making this a monumental moment for Dragon Ball. Either way, players will have some time to complete a variety of quests for XP and cosmetics for their Fortnite accounts.
What Skins and Cosmetics Are Coming?
Leaks and speculations that there will be a total of 4 skins coming to Fortnite. So far, we have 3 skins that are a possibility that they will come to Fortnite. The 3 skins will consist of Goku, Vegeta, and Beerus. Given that Goku and Vegeta are the biggest names in the Dragon Ball series, it was almost certain that they would be given skins.
The fourth skin is unknown at the moment, but many believe it to be one of the main woman characters from the Dragon Ball series. There is speculation that the skin could be Bulma, but Android 18 could also be a possibility. However, if this collaboration does happen, then it opens doors for even more characters to join Fortnite some time down the line. Dragon Ball fans will likely see their favorite characters added sooner or later.
Along with these skins, more quests and cosmetics will also be present. Similar to the Naruto event, players will be able to complete quests to unlock even more cosmetics for their Fortnite account. The skins will likely be bundled together in the Fortnite Item Shop. Players can expect gliders, pickaxes, and back bling. While it isn’t leaked, I would assume that the iconic cloud would be a glider.
There is also a rumor that Epic Games will be adding a mythic weapon that allows you to perform a Kamehameha. If this is true, it will be a sight to see and makes me wonder how effective it will be during a match. But again, these are just rumors, take it with a grain of salt.
Conclusion
That’s all we know so far of the leaks. It is looking more and more possible that Dragonball will be making its way to Fortnite. Along with it looks to be an event as well. I’m sure this will bring in a lot of anime fans. So, be sure to get ready, because it looks like Dragonball characters will be here sooner rather than later. Players can expect to find them in the Fortnite Item Shop to be added to their Fortnite Accounts. Only time will tell if these leaks are true.
