The Fortnite and Dragon Ball Z partnership will debut on August 16, 2022.
Since its debut, Fortnite has made a lot of significant cooperation announcements. Popular brands, cinematic worlds, personalities, films, and even anime have all worked with Fortnite. One of the greatest partnerships to date was between Fortnite and Naruto. It seemed very obvious that Epic Games would want to work with more anime after this great success. Epic Games just confirmed the dates for the partnership between Dragon Ball Z and Fortnite through the official Twitter account, despite all the suppositions, leaks, and suspicions floating around the internet.
Fortnite x Dragon Ball Z will be Fortnite’s one of the biggest collabs ever
Over the past few weeks, there have been numerous leaks that have appeared online and revealed the crossover. The date was lastly revealed by Epic Games in a tweet that included Shenron from Dragon Ball Z. The game will start including Dragon Ball Z characters and cosmetics on August 16.
This Dragon Ball tweet is now Fortnite's most liked tweet EVER.
And it took only 13 hours for this to happen!

Within 13 hours, the Twitter message revealing the partnership rose to the top spot among Fortnite’s tweets. This milestone was previously held by the Naruto crossover post, which required 1-2 days to accomplish.
The creators included additional game files from this crossover in the game in addition to the visual teaser. Data miners didn’t need much time to disclose these contents. Soon after the announcement, leakers discovered a Dragon Ball lobby background in the game’s files.
