‘Fortnite’ Rumored to Bring ‘Tekken’ and ‘Yakuza’ Characters in Epic Crossover

Fortnite has teamed up with so many series that it’s hard to imagine there’s anything left, especially in the gaming world, that hasn’t appeared on the island. But it seems Epic Games has been holding onto some surprises, and the long-awaited arrival of characters from ‘Tekken‘ and ‘Yakuza’ might be among the crossover content planned for Fortnite’s upcoming season.

The claim that ‘Yakuza’ and ‘Tekken’ might be the next series to get the ‘Fortnite’ treatment comes from Shpeshal_Nick.

The leaker explained on Twitter that they were shown a list of upcoming crossovers back in February and that ‘Yakuza’ and ‘Tekken’ characters were included on that list. It’s the upcoming season’s theme that has got Nick thinking it would be the perfect place for the characters to make their Fortnite debuts.

Earlier this week, key art for the first season of ‘Fortnite’ Chapter 6 leaked, confirming that a Baymax skin will continue Disney’s relationship with Epic and that Godzilla will be involved in the new season in some way.

There’s no sign of Kiryu, Majima, or anyone from ‘Tekken’s’ many rosters, but the Japanese theme for the new season is why Shpeshal_Nick believes the arrivals of ‘Yakuza’ and ‘Tekken’ on the island might finally happen over the holidays.

For anyone who thinks those series don’t really fit the ‘Fortnite’ aesthetic, think again. Epic has proved time and time again that almost anything can be seamlessly folded into ‘Fortnite’ at this point.

The roster of crossover characters includes Predator, Iron Man, Billy the Puppet from the ‘Saw’ movies, ‘Street Fighter’s’ Chun-Li, Wonder Woman, Kratos, and so many more that I could carry on listing them all day and still not be done.

‘Yakuza’ has ‘Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii’ to promote ready for its release in February 2025, and ‘Tekken 8′ has at least one more DLC character to reveal as it approaches the latest game in the fighting series’ first anniversary.

There doesn’t need to be an excuse to get your content in ‘Fortnite,’ of course. If a studio is presented with an opportunity to have their characters appear in Fortnite, they will almost always jump at the chance.
