When are the Fortnite x Street Fighter skins coming out?

Prepare for Ryu and Chun-Li to unleash fury on the Battle Royale Island!

There is not long left in Fortnite Season 5, however, Agent Jonesy still has a few more hunters to recruit. So far, we’ve seen famous faces from the worlds of gaming, television and cinema join the action, but who’s next?

A popular theory amongst fans earlier in the week was that the title characters of Marvel-based superhero sitcom “WandaVision” would be entering the fray. Now though, this doesn’t seem so likely.

New leaks suggest that it will instead be a collaboration with the legendary Street Fighter video game series. A recent post from the official Fortnite account further confirms this, with a teaser reading “Round 1. FIGHT”.

The trailer for this upcoming crossover was shared by @YoungPook707 and confirms Street Fighter’s Ryu and Chun-Li as the next skins to arrive. There is also speculation that Chun-Li will come with an additional color variant.

Each fighter is set to feature a built-in emote, which is sure to spark fear in even the boldest of opponents. Check them out below, again all credit goes to @YoungPook707:
