Fortnite has been on fire lately with new Marvel Characters, Coachella and Wu-Tang gear, along with the upcoming addition of Darth Vader. This week, they'll also be bringing in two characters from the Street Fighter franchise. Epic Games has just announced that Blanka and Sakura will soon be available in the item shop.
The announcement comes as Street Fighter prepares to celebrate its 35th anniversary. Blanka and Sakura will be available with an outfit and matching accessories for their skins. Epic also announced the Blanka & Sakura Cup, which will begin as a mobile-only Zero Build Solo Cup. It will eventually be available on all platforms as a Battle Royale Solo Cup, giving top players worldwide the chance to unlock the Bonus Stage Loading Screen.
Check out the details on both characters from the press release below:
Seeing him in action is no joke. Unleash the beast with the Blanka Outfit, which comes with the Blanka Delgado alt Style inspired by Rival Schools’ Boman Delgado. Celebrating a K.O. elimination? Break out the Outfit’s built-in Blanka Backflip Emote.
Included with the Blanka Outfit is the Blanka-Chan Back Bling. Don’t step on it — the more eliminations you get in a match, the more electrified it gets. And the preferred snack of electrified warriors everywhere, the Tropical Hazard Kebab Pickaxe will also be available.
After Ryu set foot on the Island, it was only a matter of time before Sakura followed. Prove you’re as strong as Ryu with the Sakura Outfit, which comes with the Sakura Gym alt Style inspired by one of her Street Fighter IV alts. Already sure of your victory? Activate the Outfit’s built-in Sakura's Victory Sway Emote.
A reminder of home, the Sakura Outfit includes the Hanakaze Claw Back Bling. For those extra confident of their victory, flaunt the Fighting Tournament Trophy Pickaxe. Additionally, keep the pests away with the Kayari Buta Glider.
