There have been two significant Naruto crossover events in Fortnite thus far. Otakus within the game’s community was ecstatic when prominent characters from Naruto: Shippuden were introduced to the metaverse. Recent reports suggest, however, that Epic Games has not yet moved on from Naruto.
Dataminer/leaker GMatrixGames claims that an adult Sasuke Uchiha was intended to be a part of the first Naruto crossover. This skin would have him without an arm, unlike the one currently accessible in-game, but that’s also where issues occur.
How would a one-armed skin function in Fortnite?
Even though Sasuke Uchiha is a very famous character. Epic Games will have trouble implementing a skin for him that only has one arm. Because of the game’s technological limitations. Since Harvesting Tools and firearms both demand the use of two arms. This might prove to be quite a difficult obstacle.
In order to handle this shift, the developers will need to construct a completely new set of animations. Which will include animations for things like driving, parkouring, emoting, and weapon handling. While Sasuke Uchiha is highly famous. The creators are not going to put in this much work for just one skin since it has already been indicated that they won’t. The question now is, what are some of the possible workarounds?
As things stand, there are two possibilities available: a Susanoo arm or a prosthetic arm. The former option is the one that makes the most sense. But given that Sasuke rejected the artificial limb that Tsunade had fashioned for him throughout the course of the series. The latter alternative is the only one that is available.
With Susanoo, the engineers would have no trouble recreating Sasuke’s missing arm. There is no other choice for them to make. Despite the fact that doing so would not be consistent with the narrative thread that is now being followed. In addition, the aesthetic impact of such an arm would be something that would be really stunning to see.
Considering that many of the characters in Fortnite have bionic or prosthetic limbs. Adding a character who has an arm constructed out of ‘chakra’ would be, to put it mildly, fascinating. But, taking into consideration the current plot, doing so would be a significant departure from the original source material.
Sasuke Uchiha’s adult version introduce in Fortnite Chapter 4?
It is possible to hypothesize that a new iteration of Sasuke Uchiha will be included in Boruto: Naruto’s Next Generation shortly. Given that the Code Arc for Boruto: Naruto Next Generation is scheduled for publication in February 2023. On the other hand, taking into consideration that the cooperation with Dragon Ball is still active and the previous one with My Hero Academia is drawing to a close. It is possible that it is much too soon to have another one included in the game.
Although anime-themed cosmetics in Fortnite are incredibly popular. The excitement train will most certainly slow down if the creators do not allow a respite in breathing space between each cooperation. Having said that, it also requires a significant amount of time to establish and complete each cooperation.
In light of this, it is possible that another cooperation will take place in Chapter 4, but rather than taking place with Naruto: Shippuden, it will take place with Boruto: Naruto Next Generation. The fact that it is a fresh new collaborative endeavor means that the developers won’t be in a hurry to get things done. Hence, the most probable time for everything to come together successfully is going to be sometime around the middle of the third quarter of 2023.
It is important to note that all of this is based on supposition, and the fact that Epic Games has been pushing for additional partnerships with anime and manga series should be taken into consideration. In light of all that has been mentioned, it will be fascinating to watch how they present an adult version of the ‘one-armed’ Sasuke Uchiha in Fortnite.
Conclusion
Fortnite X Naruto has the potential to become the next big thing in the gaming industry. It was recently revealed that an adult version of Sasuke would be added to the game in Chapter 4. Fans are in for a real treat as their favorite series is receiving a fresh take in the next video game. The addition of this new character to the game. This already has aesthetically amazing visuals, smooth gameplay, and an ever-growing cast of characters, which is sure to bring even more excitement to the experience. Fortnite x Naruto is just going to become better, and it will be able to give fans even more amusement thanks to the arrival of adult Sasuke.
