UPDATE: Epic Games has officially confirmed the\u00a0Street Fighter<\/em> content for Fortnite.<\/strong><\/p>\n

original story follows.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Early Friday morning, a wave of leaks regarding a Fortnite<\/em><\/strong> and Street Fighter<\/em> collaboration hit the internet. The partnership between Epic Games and Capcom would lead to skins for both Ryu and Chun-Li, as well as various related Street Fighter<\/em> cosmetics and emotes. Now more substantial evidence of the upcoming Street Fighter<\/em> cosmetics has leaked. A short trailer showcasing Ryu and Chun-Li, including a fun bit of in-universe Fortnite<\/em><\/a> storytelling, is being shared on Twitter.<\/p>\n

The trailer features a Street Fighter 2<\/em> arcade cabinet<\/a> within a larger arcade. As the trailer begins, a match between Ryu and Chun-Li starts up on this Street Fighter 2<\/em> arcade cabinet. It features the classic match announcer and soundtrack from the original arcade game, making it rich with nostalgia. As the match begins, Agent Jonesy appears as a pixel-art figure. He then activates a teleportation bubble, in which both Ryu and Chun-Li transform into their Fortnite<\/em>-style versions of themselves.<\/p>\n

What the trailer conveys is that, like with X-Men and so many other crossover partners<\/a> before, Street Fighter<\/em> characters are coming to Fortnite<\/em>. It’s not just a straightforward skin release. Epic’s building the crossover into its lore so that the Street Fighter<\/em> characters make sense in the battle royale’s universe. Whether that means there will be an accompanying series of Fortnite<\/em> challenges or other unlockables remains to be seen, however.<\/p>\n
