Epic Games announced that the latest Street Fighter bundles are available in Fortnite as of Thursday, April 28, 2022, at 8 PM ET | 5 PM PT | 1 AM BST, bringing joy to fighting game fans who play the battle royale.
This isn’t the first crossover between Fortnite and Street Fighter as Chun-Li, Ryu, Guile, and Cammy had previously made their way to Epic’s battle royale. However, given Blanka and Sakura’s popularity amongst fans of the franchise these bundles could be the best yet.
