Fortnite Naruto Skin Inches Closer After Recent Leaks

The long-rumored Fortnite Naruto skin was confirmed by Epic COO Donald Mustard over the summer, but we’ve not yet heard anything else about it. But today, things heated up once more thanks to leaks present in the datamined files of Fortnite following the latest patch. The groundwork for a Fortnite Naruto skin continues to be laid, and given the hero’s arrival is expected in November, everything points to Naruto coming to Fortnite very soon.

When Does Naruto Come To Fortnite?

While we are all still without a release date, we’ve known since Mustard’s surprisingly forthcoming teases back in August that Naruto would arrive in November. That means he’s likely not a part of Fortnitemares, even as the Wrath of the Cube Queen event does extend until November 2. More likely, the boy ninja will be one of the first major crossovers after the Halloween season.

The reason we can be confident his arrival is approaching is because of new files found by Fortnite’s ravenous datamining community. A new NPC codenamed “HeadbandK” is set to come to the island soon and will act as a boss, even dropping an explosive kunai weapon when defeated. In the Naruto anime and manga, the hero uses such a weapon regularly–and of course, he’s known to wear his signature headband too.

Dataminer Hypex discovered these and a few more clues regarding the forthcoming arrival of Naruto to Fortnite, including a nearly 1:1 Creative asset meant to look like his favorite dish, a bowl of ramen.
