Fortnite Adds Sakura & Blanka Into The Fray

Fortnite seems to be a hotbed for Street Fighter characters with Ryu, Chun-Li, Cammy, and Guile in the mix. Now you can add two more to that shooter roster: Sakura and Blanka.

The duo will be landing in the Fortnite item shop on 28 April. Each bundle contains a built-in outfit emote, back bling, pickaxe, and an alternate costume. Sakura gets her schoolgirl garb and her gym look from Street Fighter 4, while Blanka gets his trademark ripped cargos and a stylish business suit, because that somehow goes well with green.

Competitors, it’s time to FIGHT ?

Taking a break from the crane game, @StreetFighter's World Warriors Blanka and Sakura are coming to fight.

Read about their two Tournaments that are happening, including a mobile-only Tournament!

In addition, the game will host a Blanka and Sakura cup, where it’s a duos event where players fight in ten matches in their region’s three-hour time window. The top players of this limited-time competition will get a new loading screen. Should go well with the Wu Tang Clan clothes pack that’s also out this Chapter.
