Rumors are swirling that another familiar face might be on its way to Epic Games’ everpopular battle royale game. If you’re wondering whether Goku is coming to Fortnite then we’re here to break everything down for you.
A huge part of Fortnite’s continued success is due to Epic Games’ incredible post-launch support of the game, which has included consistent updates and numerous crossover events. Fortnite has become so much more than a battle royale title over the years, creating something of a meta for itself as characters from all across pop culture have found their way into the game. Now, it looks as though Dragon Ball Z’s Goku might be next.
Is Dragon Ball’s Goku Coming to Fortnite?
Well, that’s if leaks from datamined game files prove correct. HYPEX, a well-known dataminer in the Fortnite community, noted over on Twitter that a new cel-shaded Creative prop called the ‘Stamina Container’ sports a logo nearly identical to that of the ‘Capsule Corp’ logo from the Dragon Ball franchise. It’s also surrounded by the same anime outline as other anime cosmetics seen in Fortnite previously, such as Naruto.
So, what could this mean? Could Goku be coming to Fortnite, or is this a more general tease for a Dragon Ball Z crossover event of some kind?
Apparently, following Fortnite’s 21.30 title update, it has now been confirmed that Goku, Vegeta and Beerus will be coming as part of a Dragon Ball collaboration event. It’s also assumed that the fourth skin is likely to be a female, though exactly who this is hasn’t been confirmed as of yet.
That being said, with the release of the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie releasing on Aug. 19, 2022, there’s a strong possibility that Goku would arrive in Fortnite to coincide with and celebrate the release of the franchise on the silver screen.
With that in mind, we’d hedge our bets on Fortnite players having to wait at least another month before the Dragon Ball x Fortnite collaboration hits the Battle Royale island.
Based on the Naruto crossover, if a Dragon Ball Z event does happen it’s certainly likely to include character skins that would surely bring Goku to Fortnite. Also, you can expect back blings, gliders, and other cosmetics to arrive in the store.
Again, it’s all guesswork for now as we wait for official confirmation. You can be sure that Twinfinite will keep you updated as and when we find out. For more Fortnite content, check out some related articles below.
