Naruto Uzumaki, everyone’s favorite nine-tailed anime character, is making his debut in Fortnite this season.
The young ninja, who originally appeared as part of a manga written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto in 1999—and was later adapted into an anime series in 2002 and 2007—is no stranger to video games.
Naruto has featured in over 50 video games over multiple generations of consoles from the GameCube with Naruto: Clash of Ninjas in 2003 to the PlayStation 4 with Jump Force in 2019.
The character, themed skins and cosmetics, and a “Hidden Leaf Village Creative Hub,” is planned to release this month, according to leaks. Epic Games confirmed Naruto will be coming to the game on Nov. 16.
Naruto, and all the cosmetic items connected to the character, will likely be obtainable via Fortnite’s shop for V-Bucks.
