Following on from Ryu and Chun-Li, and Cammy and Guile, the free-to-play battle royale game Fortnite has now added another two Street Fighter characters.
This time around we've got the World Warriors Blanka and Sakura - appearing in a new special cup. It's all to celebrate 35 years of Street Fighter. These characters will be available in-game as of 28th April, there'll also be a special loading screen up for grabs.
Here's a look at both of these fighters, as they appear in Fortnite. As you can see with Blanka, there'll even be an alt-style outfit inspired by Rival Schools' Boman Delgado.
Seeing him in action is no joke. Unleash the beast with the Blanka Outfit, which comes with the Blanka Delgado alt Style inspired by Rival Schools’ Boman Delgado. Celebrating a K.O. elimination? Break out the Outfit’s built-in Blanka Backflip Emote.
Included with the Blanka Outfit is the Blanka-Chan Back Bling. Don’t step on it — the more eliminations you get in a match, the more electrified it gets. And the preferred snack of electrified warriors everywhere, the Tropical Hazard Kebab Pickaxe will also be available.
And next up is Ryu's #1 fan, Sakura. Above you can also see the Bonus Stage unlockable loading screen. You can learn more about the new characters and cup over on the Epic Games website.
After Ryu set foot on the Island, it was only a matter of time before Sakura followed. Prove you’re as strong as Ryu with the Sakura Outfit, which comes with the Sakura Gym alt Style inspired by one of her Street Fighter IV alts. Already sure of your victory? Activate the Outfit’s built-in Sakura's Victory Sway Emote.
A reminder of home, the Sakura Outfit includes the Hanakaze Claw Back Bling. For those extra confident of their victory, flaunt the Fighting Tournament Trophy Pickaxe. Additionally, keep the pests away with the Kayari Buta Glider.

Drop into the grey goo that is metaverse murder game.
Blanka in a business suit is something I NEVER expected to be in Fortnite, but alas...
No we can have Sakura with guns shooting Ryu
I'm tempted to spend real money to play as Sakura
❗️Blanka, yes but not sure on Sakura.
I probably will as 'Alpha 3' is my favourite 'Street Fighter' Game.
Do I even need to say anything?😒
The character models look so plastic.
And so grows the never-ending Fortnite collabs
I’m calling Sakura’s parents.
If there isn’t a emote that lets me kick cars I’m not buying.
Getting Sakura to go with the other Sakura I bought.
The Blanka one looks sick! Given how many Street Fighter characters have joined at this point I hope we eventually get M. Bison.
Blanka looking ready to dominate the boardroom. It's hostile takeover time!
I think that I might have to spend my v-bucks that are collecting dust on that Blanka skin. He looks too swanky in that suit to pass up lol.
So they cover up everything in Cammy lower body, but is fine with Japanese girl in bloomers? Lol
Ah, more flavorless mush for a flavorless game that once again doesn't fit in the universe it's being used in.
I was a Sakura main in SF Alpha. Great to see my girl getting some Fortnite love.
Isn't this a shooting game tho? Blanka doesn't even have projectiles.
I'm impressed at how nicely he cleans up though.
Let me know when Dan shows up.
Doesn't Blanka have like the weirdest backstory? Isn't it that he was a normal kid called Jimmy who was transformed into the green beast known as Blanka? I'm pretty sure that's what it is and if so, what the heck.
@PtM I wouldn't be surprised if Zengief or M. Bison are added in some future update as well.
Now we need some Nintendo love. Samus, Regginator, Sakurai-san, Miyamoto-san would be a few ideas.
Non-Nintendo characters needed would be Micheal Scott and "Prison Mike" variant from the Office, as well as a war ready Dwight Schrute.
