Update #1 [Tue 16th Aug, 2022 01:30 BST]: Well, it seems the official trailer for this upcoming crossover has leaked online. It's a very rough upload, but it'll give you enough of an idea of what to expect, if you are eager to see see more before 16th August.
See the original teaser below:
Original article [Fri 12th Aug, 2022 03:30 BST]: Following on from all sorts of collaborations, it seems the Dragon Ball universe is now making its way to Epic's popular battle royale game Fortnite.
The social account shared a picture of what appears to be Shenron - teasing a start date of 16th August 2022. There's not much else to say at this point, although some supposed leaks suggest Goku and friends will be making a cameo as skins.
In somewhat related news, the new Dragon Ball movie Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero premiere took place this week, with its theatre debut opening next week on August 19th. The voice of Mario, Charles Martinet, is also involved - voicing the character Magenta. He wore a matching outfit on the red carpet:

After they did Marvel and Halo, Fortnite having Dragon Ball doesn't surprise me.
it would be cool to see other shonen series like Demon Slayer added in fortnite though (maybe not TPN though as pointed out by two people.)
Finally! I have been waiting for this forever! Totally getting this (Depending on the skin, Bulma is a must, as she actually uses a gun lol)
I've followed the leak for months now. 3 skins were already named in the files. Goku/Vegeta/Beerus. The 4th character isn't name, but it is a female skin. More then likely Bulma.
@Aozz101x Yo man same, i to wish to ruthlessly shoot people as an 11 year old girl. and do the funny fortnite dance
Of course it's weird to have Goku with a gun, but that's what makes it fun . I love Fortnite for that reason it doesn't take itself too seriously and it's whacky.
Plus it'll give us an official way of making Goku fight Superman 🤣
I'm excited, I've been making side hustle doing dragon ball commission arts so you can guess I'm kind of a fan !
Oh boy I wonder what the gray goo will consume next?
“Sorry Vegeta, you don’t got the backpack bling drip. Guess I gotta bust a cap in ya.”
Seeing Goku and Vegeta with guns will be so weird. At least it fits a little for Vegeta with his "Galick Gun" if you catch my drift.
@Platinum-Bucket I read this in gokus voice and my god made this so funny. I need someone to dub this comment in gokus voice!
The DB x Fortnite collab is nice and all but can we just take a moment and appreciate how cool Charles looks in that photo?👍
@Coolmusic i always think it's awesome to see him voicing other characters outside of the Mario Franchise, the photo does make him look cool
@Aozz101x After the terrific mess that was the anime adaptation, I doubt we'll get to see any crossovers with The Promised Neverland 😔
As someone who personally can't stand Fortnite, it'd be cool, if they wanted to go the extra mile, if whenever Goku and co pick up a gun, they fire off Ki Blasts instead. A small thing definitely (and I would absolutely still want the image of Goku dual-wielding) but it'd be nice.
American audience: 🙀🙀🙀🙀
Rest of the world: 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Not a DBZ fan but at least its not another freaking Marvel or DC character so I'll take it! Those bright orange gis will make for nice distance targets. Haha.
Crossovers I would hand pick that would he so awesome for squads:
Ninja Turtles
Power Rangers
Metallica
Jurassic Park
Lord of the Rings (Hobbits lol)
Final Fantasy (not just 7)
Anything Nintendo
They also put the kame house in the background of the lobby
@sikthvash out of anything, this is sadly true, honestly.
@invictus4000 I've said the only time I'd spend money on Fortnite would be a Ninja Turtles skin. Just hope they have a decent design and not the weird Nickelodeon cubed ones.
I have a love hate relationship with the game. The no build mode improves the game a lot but the toxic PC players ruin it and forced cross play is a stupid idea, especially since someone with a mouse and keyboard can jump, slide, switch weapons and spin all while firing an SMG across map and hit every shot (slight exaggeration but not far off)
This is why Epic won’t die anytime soon
@Pikki I just can't believe they didn't do some JP skins a few seasons ago when they literally had raptors and dinosaur paddocks on the map! I was sure they would introduce the jeeps and at least a Grant and Malcom skin...
@NinjaNicky Oh man I didn't even think of that! I would be so pissed if the heroes in a half shell showed up in thier new dumb iterations! Give me the 80s live action designs! Haha. Yeah, I'd for sure break and buy those if it happened.
@invictus4000 i wish Nintendo would come agreement with Epic of adding characters own by Nintendo to Fortnite. i think it would be cool see Samus from Metroid being playable.
I mean... Launch would be pretty perfect for it lol
Gokus looks a little skinny but it all looks good!
I hope they give bulma her hairstyle if goku and vegeta get all these forms. She has so many hair styles. Heck you can let us mix and match pants and shirts with her hair!
My nephew will be confused why all these characters have the same hair color. I think I'll tell him they're siblings and Bulma is the strongest, because she doesn't need to yell to change her hair color.
Attack on Titan or Fullmetal Alchemist and I'll bust out my wallet.
While I don't care much for Fortnite and their very odd crossovers, I have to give credit where it is due: the models look pretty good, even if the design is out of place with the surroundings.
Some of their previous crossovers (not anime) kind of lost their original designs, mainly facial features, to the point that it felt like it was a generic Fortnite character wearing a costume.
I’ve been playing around with the update and it’s a lot of fun! The new items are very cool, and the novelty of having these characters still hasn’t worn off (making Goku run around with an Among Us guy on his back makes me smile). I also like how straightforward the free challenges are, and how I actually want the free rewards; they did a really good job with this collab.

(it's not exactly what I was thinking of but it's still eerily close)
It amazes me how many crossovers you can see on this game. But even all cossovers in the world is not enough to convince me to play this.
Probably the first characters who didn't end up looking like horrible bootleg figurines in their transition to Fortnite-style. Easy to imagine the heavy input from Shueisha there.
Ngl, this fortnite dbz thing looks dope.
That's cool and all, but where's Big Green?
This game is F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C ! It deserves the $5 billion + per year!
wheres FARMER with shotgun?
Got the bulma skin. You know I had too.
Can’t stand DBZ.. haven’t been on FN in over a month which is not like me.. getting tired of the same old map with only a few new places
Don't like DBZ at all but I think its cool they went all in with this crossover. Hoping they do more like this going forward that ARENT more Marvel or Star Wars things.
@WolfyTn I hear ya. The DBZ stuff is annoying but honestly I've found great pleasure in blowing away weeb after weeb after weeb. Lol. The DBZ skins are accurate representations but look RIDICULOUS in the game. They seriously look like giant sports team mascot suits. Lol! There are so many "giant-heads" running around and they make for easy targets. 😆 🤣 😂
@Aozz101x I KNOW right?? So much untapped potential there. They just need to harness thier inner Smash Bros Spirit and do it already. So many good options.
Having dragon ball there its not a surpise its very popular game it does open up with other popular IPs though for the future like Demon Slayer or Naruto.
@NeonPizza Yeah. I think he manga is better then the anime. It just sucks they only went with super looks for bulma. I liked her outfit on planet nemek the most.
I hope we get a wave two with more characters. Like you said, cell is a must!
@Gamergirl94 naruto is already in the game. It got 2 events so far even, including 8 skins, several emotes and a good 16 cosmetics.
