Epic Games has recently launched a brand-new chapter for its uber-popular battle royale title,Fortnite. In the action-packed (and cameo-packed) reveal trailer for Chapter 4, Season 1, fans got a look at what to expect in terms of new collaboration events and cosmetics. Epic not only teased a new skin forThe Witcher’s Geralt, but the game maker also showed off skins for Doom Slayer (from theDoomseries, of course) andIzuku Midoriya from theMy Hero Academiaanime. Fans of the series might know Izuku as none other than Deku, a student at U.A. High School who grew up without a Quirk, which is the equivalent of a superpower in theMy Hero Academiauniverse.
When is Deku Coming to Fortnite?
While Epic Games has not officially come out and stated the exact time that theMy Hero Academiacollab will kick off, the company put out a tweet to announce that a new trailer is coming on the morning of December 16. And according to reputableFortniteleaker HYPEX,Fortnite’s item shop will reset around 1 PM UTC on December 15, and the cosmetics that are part of the collab will be available for purchase. This should be around 5 AM / 8 AM ET on Friday morning. The collab’s content will no doubt be revealed during the trailer that airs tomorrow morning.

Which My Hero Academia Characters Are Coming to Fortnite?
Because there has only been one instance of Deku’s costume in the reveal trailer for Chapter 4, fans aren’t sure which otherMy Hero Academiacharacters will make it into the battle royale game.For the Naruto collab that happened last year, there were four main characters from the anime that were turned intoFortniteskins.
Suppose we end up just seeing some of the more popular heroes from the anime. In that case, fans might end up playing as characters like Shoto Todoroko, Katsuki Bakugo, Ochaco Uraraka, oreven All Might. Either way, theMy Hero Academiacollaboration will surely have some fan-favorite skins that’ll make some people happy.
Fortniteis free-to-play on mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
