With approximately 1,300 skins based on various series and real-life icons as of writing, there seems to be no end with what Epic Games can bring to Fortnite.

Sure, the number can be overwhelming. However, this means that you can easily look forward to having the skins of your favorite series characters and real-life personalities whether they are already in the game or not.

If you’re a Naruto fan, there are skins in Fortnite that you can choose from. Of course, Naruto Uzumaki is in the game. He was released late last year together with other notable characters including Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Kakashi Hatake.

However, the series has so many popular characters, and it’s easy to guess that you probably wish for more Naruto crossovers. Luckily for you, new Naruto skins are coming to Fortnite through the Fortnite x Naruto Rivals collaboration! And if you like Itachi, you better prepare your V-bucks as he is one of them.
