April 2022 Fortnite Crew Pack revealed: Sayara sneaks in from the shadows

Two more fighters from the iconic Street Fighter roster are making their way to Fortnite, and players will have a chance to fight for the Sakura and Blanks cosmetics during two upcoming tournaments.

In February of 2021, the first two Street Fighter characters made their debut in Fortnite. Ryu and Chun-Li are arguably the most iconic fighters from the Street Fighter series.

As such, their debut was a hit with many players favoring Chun-Li’s smaller visual design over Ryu’s bulky muscular figure. Despite seeing them hold firearms being a bit odd, they fit into Fortnite’s world perfectly.

Now, two more Street Fighter legends are joining the fight. Introducing the beast Blanka and martial arts expert Sakura.

Sakura and Blanka Fortnite cosmetics

Blanka is a green beast-man who has been in Street Fighter since its inception. As such, he’s got a lot of cosmetics coming to Fortnite,

The Blanka outfit will come with two styles: normal Blanka and Blanka Delgado. He also has a built-in Backflip emote. Additionally, players can purchase his Tropical Hazard Kebab pickaxe.

Sakura is also a long-standing character in the franchise. She will come in two styles as well and has the Sakura’s Victory Sway built-in emote.

Players can also purchase her Fighting Tournament Trophy pickaxe and Kayari Buta glider.

Fortnite x Street Fighter Release date

Both the Sakura and Blanka sets will be in the Item Shop on Thursday, April 29 at 8 PM EST. They will be in the Item Shop and can be purchased using V-Bucks..

Blanka and Sakura Cup tournamanets

There are two separate Blanks and Sakura tournaments where players have a chance to compete for early access to the cosmetics. Usually, there is only one tournament for crossovers like this, but the Blanka and Sakura Cup features a mobile-only tournament.

The Mobile-Only cup will take place on Wednesday, April 27, and will only be available to Android users.

The second tournament will take place on all platforms on April 28. Top placing teams in both tournaments will earn the Bonus Stage Loading Screen.

After a short trial period, and an even shorter voting period, the fan-favorite MK-Seven Assault Rifle is back in Fortnite.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 has brought back Funding Stations. Several times throughout the season, players can donate to decide which items and weapons make it back into the game.

However, this season there is a slight twist. Players get to use both weapons during a short trial period before the voting begins. During voting, both weapons are removed once more and the winner returns.

The first round of voting was between the Combat Assault Rifle and the fan-favorite MK-Seven. It didn’t take long for players to decide the victor.

MK-Seven returns in Fortnite Season 2

Voting started on April 5th following a two-day trial period. Players were able to use both the Combat AR and MK-Seven from April 2 – 4.

When voting began, the MK-Seven took an early lead, and it only took until around 8:30 PM EST on April 7 for the race to end. The MK-Seven had won by a landslide.

The moment the goal was met, the MK-Seven was unvaulted and players could find it in-game just as they could in Season 1. The only difference is that the Mythic version is not in Fortnite (yet?).

It is possible that The Foundation could once again carry his Mythic MK-Seven, but that isn’t the case quite yet. We will keep you updated if and when that happens.

Now, we wait for the next Unvautling Battle to begin. Hopefully it will be a more interesting race than the shut out we just witnessed.

Professional tennis player Naomi Osaka is making her way into Fortnite with a fresh set of cosmetic items.

Naomi Osaka is a Japanese tennis player, fashion designer, and gamer. She has won multiple championships and has been ranked the Number 1 player by the Women’s Tennis Association.

When she isn’t dominating on the court, she considers herself to be a hardcore gamer. Now, Osaka will be immortalized inside of a video game as one of Fortnite’s playable characters.

This article will detail the cosmetic items, release date, and new tournament meant to commemorate the collaboration.
