At 8PM ET tonight
[Update:The Blanka and SakuraFortnitepromo just entered a new phase, as Epic Games has brought Guile, Ryu, Cammy, and Chun-Li back into the fold for a limited time.]
Blanka and Sakuraare making an appearance inFortnitetoday, as one of severalStreet Fightercrossovers for the game. This is one of a series of crossovers, including Ryu and Chun-Li, who arrived together, andGuile and Cammy.
Both of them enter theFortniteshop tonight at 8PM ET, amid an opportunity to unlock a loading screen (below) via the “Blanka and Sakura Cup.” In the bundle, Blanka comes with his Blanka-Chan back bling (it’s a little Blanka doll), Blanka backflip emote, and the “Tropical Hazard Kebab Pickaxe,” featuring various fruits that Blanka enjoys. But the biggest reference of them all? His “Blanka Delgado” outfit, which is a direct confirmed reference toBoman DelgadoofRival Schoolsfame. I’m just glad this game is remembered.
Sakura on the other hand will sport a gym clothes alt-outfit “inspired by one of herStreet Fighter IValts,” on top of a victory sway emote, the Hanakaze Claw back bling, and the Fighting Tournament Trophy pickaxe; as well as the Kayari Buta glider.
The “all platforms” Blanka and Sakura Cup is being held today on PC, Android, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch: you can partake in “up to 10 matches” today.
