Fortnite x Street Fighter Introduces Sakura & Blanka

Fortnite’s ongoing collaboration with Street Fighter is back with two more iconic characters.

Epic Games and Capcom agreed to bring two foundational Street Fighter characters into Fortnite more than a year ago. Ryu and Chun-Li emerged as the popular fighting game’s representatives in Fortnite’s Gaming Legends Series. The two warriors joined a slew of other video game characters, which currently include Lara Croft, Master Chief, Marcus Fenix, Chris Redfield and many more.

Six months later, Fortnite welcomed Guile and Cammy, bringing the total of Street Fighter appearances to four. Eight more months have passed since the last crossover, and Fortnite x Street Fighter has resurfaced with Sakura and Blanka. Today, ESTNN covers the latest collaboration. We’ll cover the release date, a mobile-only tournament and more!

To complement the latest Fortnite x Street Fighter collaboration, Epic Games will host two separate tournaments; one for mobile players only and another for all platforms. You might be wondering what’s on the line. In the past, entrants could win the promoted skins for free, but this time a loading screen is up for grabs.

The mobile-exclusive (Android) Zero Build competition begins on April 27 for most regions. Other platforms will have their time to shine on April 28 in a standard Battle Royale format. Be sure to check out Epic’s blog post and the official tournament ruleset for more details.
