Iconic characters from Dragon Ball including Goku, Vegeta, Bluma, and Beerus are coming to Fortnite along with a number of Dragon Ball-themed, in-game activities that let you fly and fight as if you were one Super Saiyan.
Starting today, four Dragon Ball characters will be available in Fortnite along with themed items like Power Pole Pickaxe, Kamesennin’s Staff Pickaxe, Nimbus Cloud Glider, Space Pod Glider, Charging Up Emote, Fusion Emote, and Boosting Ki Emote.
Cosmetics are only part of the Dragon Ball content in Fortnite. In addition to the characters and items in the Item Shop, there will be a “Power Unleashed” tab open to all players that unlocks Dragon Ball-themed Quests that players can complete for rewards.
There will be Seven Quests that can be completed for Dragon Balls. Complete all seven and the player can unlock the Shenron Glider along with other boosters, aerosols, and other rewards. These quests will be available starting August 30.
The Fortnite map will also add competitive Dragon Ball modes like Versus Boards. Players can register at Versus Boards and compete in a PvP-style battle where players will have five minutes to defeat their opponents using weapons like the Kamehameha blast or the Nimbus Cloud.
The main map will also add Kame House, where players can go there and trade their gold bars with Bulma for unique items.
For non-competitive gameplay, Fortnite will add Dragon Ball Adventure Island on August 19, which recreates several locations in the series including Kami’s Palace, Goku’s House, and Spirit’s Room God & Time. There will be a player option against Tenkaichi Budokai Arena players, for the power hungry.
Finally, Fortnite will be hosting in-game viewing parties for select Dragon Ball Super episodes from August 16 to September 17.
Fortnite Previously announced Dragon Ball coming to the game later this month. But aside from the new look and feel, Epic is clearly going all out for this Dragon Ball collaboration, especially given the anime’s enduring legacy.
While this will be a chance to collect Dragon Ball skins so you can finally pit Goku against Superman, Dragon Ball Adventure Land is actually a standalone Dragon Ball video game built into Fortnite.
Regardless of how you feel about Epic’s world dominating battle royale, adding Goku and Vegeta to the ever-growing toy box is a given.
