While last year, we were treated to Ryu and Chun-Li, followed, a few months later, by Cammy and Guile, the developers of Fortnite have just announced the two new characters to join the battlefield. Indeed, it is on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the franchise developed by Capcom, that Blanka and Sakura will be offered in the store from April 29.
As usual, the two fighters will come with their accessories, an alternative style, as well as an emote.
White
For Blanka, his outfit will come with a Blanka Delgado alternate style inspired by Rival Schools’ Boman Delgado, as well as Blanka’s backflip emote and Blanka-chan back bling. The Fortnite developers say that the more kills the player has in a match, the more electrified the item will become. In order to have the total, the Brochette tropical danger pickaxe will also be on sale in the shop.
Sakura
On the side of Sakura’s outfit, she will come with her alternate Sakura gym style, inspired by one of her alternate outfits from Street Fighter IV. Just like Blanka, Sakura will be entitled to an emote called Sakura’s Victory Dance which is included with the outfit, as well as the Hanakazé Catcher back bling. The Battle Tournament Trophy Pickaxe and the Kayari Buta Glider will need to be purchased separately from the outfit.
A cut in two versions
This Cup will be entitled to two versions. Indeed, to change a bit from PC and consoles, the Fortnite teams are offering a Blanka and Sakura Cup, only on mobile and only on Android, on April 27 on the Zero Build mode in solo.
