Fortnite’s initial DBZ tweet announcement is already its most liked ever on Twitter, and the official reveal is slated to premier on YouTube at 4:00 a.m. ET tomorrow.

Original story follows.

Speculation about a DBZ event has been in the works for weeks, ever since Fortnite leaker Shiina posted the discovery of a logo that looked suspiciously like Bulma’s Capsule Corp in the game’s files. A couple weeks later possible skin names for Goku, Vageta, and Beerus also seemingly leaked. A fourth one referenced the name “Barium,” which some fans interpreted to possibly be a nod to Bulma.

The timing also made sense since the latest film, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, is set to make its North American debut on August 18. Arc System Works also just announced at EVO 2022 that Dragon Ball FighterZ would get upgraded for PS5 and Xbox Series X, with rollback netcode coming to the new versions and PC in the future. There’s even a new 1 vs. 7 asymmetrical horror game called Dragon Ball: Breakers due out later this year.

Fortnite has also been busy. The aspiring metaverse brought in Metroid superfan John Cena with a mini-WWE crossover that extended to its other recently purchased multiplayer hits, Rocket League and Fall Guys. The battle royale has also broken ground with new players thanks to a mode that finally ditches the game’s powerful but obtuse building mechanics.
