Street Fighter skins likely returning to Fortnite after 3 years
Image via Epic Games Fortnite players have reason to rejoice as one of the battle royale's most iconic collaborations may be making a comeback. According to well-known Fortnite leakers, the Street Fighter skins - last seen nearly three years ago, are likely returning to the game's Item Shop soon. And leading the excitement is none other than Chun-Li. Updated assets for Street Fighter characters like Ryu, Cammy, Guile, and Chun-Li were reportedly spotted in the recent Fortnite v35.20 update. This move strongly suggests that Epic Games is preparing for their re-release, though no official announcement has been made yet. The news has sent shockwaves across the community, where Chun-Li holds near-legendary status - not just as a tribute to Capcom's iconic fighting series but also due to the character's popularity among players who enjoy pairing her with in-game emotes. Fans divided over Chun-Li's return Though several Street Fighter characters have appeared in Fortnite, it's Chun-Li who dominates fan conversations. Since her original debut in the game, the skin has gained a near-mythical reputation, often praised for its design, animation compatibility, and rarity. Chun-Li's absence for nearly three years turned her into one of the most elusive cosmetics in Fortnite. With Chapter 6 Season 3 scheduled to launch on June 7, many fans believe her return could coincide with the new seasonal update. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Todos os idosos deveriam ter um desse no banheiro! Veja só! Evite quedas e escorregões Saiba Mais Undo Reactions to the leaks have been mixed - some excited, others skeptical. One user humorously declared, 'FINALLY. I CAN REST,' while another commented on Ken's outdated graphics: 'Ken's hair still looking like it was rendered in 2004 and I love it.' Others expressed disappointment, hoping for different collaborations. 'Give us Naruto instead,' one fan tweeted in response to the leak. Nonetheless, the buzz surrounding Chun-Li's possible return continues to grow, with many already preparing their V-Bucks. Chun-Li's return might just be the beginning. The leaks also point to the comeback of several other rare skins including Ferrari, Gamora, Star-Lord, and Rick and Morty. The Ferrari skins, for instance, haven't been seen for over 1,300 days, making them even rarer than Chun-Li's outfit. These asset updates suggest Epic Games is planning a broader wave of legacy skin revivals. However, players are advised to take the news with a pinch of salt until official confirmation is provided by the developers. With Season 3 fast approaching and excitement peaking, players are urged to keep an eye on the Item Shop and their V-Bucks stocked. If the leaks are accurate, Chun-Li and her fellow fighters could be landing in Fortnite very soon - turning the battlefield into a pixelated arcade all over again.
