Epic Games Announces Yoruichi Shihōin Fortnite Skin for Bleach Crossover

Epic Games released the first in‑game footage of Yoruichi Shihōin, a popular character from the Bleach franchise, as part of the second Bleach crossover wave in Fortnite. The skin features a black combat outfit with lightning effects and is accompanied by a matching Kisuke Urahara skin. Both characters are scheduled to appear in the Fortnite Item Shop on August 7 (U.S. time), with the release rolling out to other regions shortly after.

Players have reacted enthusiastically, praising the design while also urging Epic not to tone down the character’s signature look. The announcement also noted that additional cosmetics such as a back bling, pickaxe, emote and alternate styles are expected, though pricing and the duration of availability have not been confirmed.
