After what has seemed like eternity, the Fortnite x Street Fighter collaboration is finally returning to the item shop.
Fighters…ready? At long last, the Fortnite x Street Fighter collaboration is returning to the item shop. Since their debut in February 2021, the Street Fighter characters have become a rare commodity in the game. Despite their popularity, the Capcom combatants have been largely missing from the item shop for over 1,000 days. But thankfully, all that is about to change, and much sooner than you’d think.
Epic Games has confirmed that every character in the Street Fighter collaboration is returning to the item shop TONIGHT! That’s right, Ryu, Chun-Li, Guile, Cammy, Sakura, and Blanka are kicking their way back into action tonight…and the fans are suitably excited. So, get ready to part with some serious V-Bucks if you intend to do a clean sweep.
FIGHT!!
With the characters in high demand, Fortnite is bringing back every bundle from the fringes and putting them back into circulation. However, before we start dusting off our finishing moves, check out the complete price list below and prepare your bank account accordingly.

Alongside Ryu, the self-proclaimed “strongest woman in the world”, Chun-Li, is ready for the competition to kneel before her.

For those who I wish to protect…I will fight you!
A member of Delta Red, Cammy is ready for action. Alongside the classic Cammy Outfit, you’ll also be able to equip the Borealis Backer Back Bling and Tactical Cammy Variant. The Cammy & Guile Bundle includes both Outfits and Back Blings and adds the Round 2 Loading Screen as a Bonus.
SAKURA & BLANKA

Seeing him in action is no joke. Unleash the beast with the Blanka Outfit, which comes with the Blanka Delgado alt Style inspired by Rival Schools’ Boman Delgado. Celebrating a K.O. elimination? Break out the Outfit’s built-in Blanka Backflip Emote.
Included with the Blanka Outfit is the Blanka-Chan Back Bling. Don’t step on it — the more eliminations you get in a match, the more electrified it gets. And the preferred snack of electrified warriors everywhere, the Tropical Hazard Kebab Pickaxe will also be available.
After Ryu set foot on the Island, it was only a matter of time before Sakura followed. Prove you’re as strong as Ryu with the Sakura Outfit, which comes with the Sakura Gym alt Style inspired by one of her Street Fighter IV alts. Already sure of your victory? Activate the Outfit’s built-in Sakura’s Victory Sway Emote.
A reminder of home, the Sakura Outfit includes the Hanakaze Claw Back Bling. For those extra confident of their victory, flaunt the Fighting Tournament Trophy Pickaxe. Additionally, keep the pests away with the Kayari Buta Glider.
WEAPON PACKS
Like their previous release in 2021, every character will have their own weapons bundle. These weapon packs come with additional weapons and gliders designed to make your fighter the best it can be. From Guile’s fighter jet to Blanka’s Tropical Hazard Kebab Pick Axe, these sets pack a genuine punch. Expect to fork out an additional 1,600 V-Bucks for each weapon pack. But surely that is a small price to pay to give Ryu his Sumo Torpedo Glider? Or to allow Sakura to fly into action with her Kayari Buta Glider!
RELEASE
Thankfully, fans won’t have to wait to get their hands on these new skins. The Street Fighter characters will be available in the item shop tonight, but only for a limited time. So, assemble your combat crew fast!
Fortunately, these are just one of many new and returning collaborations lined up for the year. Along with new skins and rides from the Fast & Furious movies, we are currently enjoying a superhero-themed season, boasting David Corenswet’s new Superman, as well as Batman’s beloved sidekick, Robin. On top of that, they’re working on partnerships with DC, James Bond 007, Marvel, and Netflix’s Squid Game. It looks like Fortnite’s future is shaping up to be extremely exciting!
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some victims to attend to. I’ll see you on the map! FIGHT!!!
