Quentin Tarantino has completed “Kill Bill: The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge,” featuring Uma Thurman, and built using Unreal Engine with character models from Fortnite.
With the Fortnite x Kill Bill collaboration set to debut on the map next season, Tarantino fans have been rewarded with a rare treat. With the film returning to cinemas this December, the visionary director has partnered with Epic Games to complete the “Lost Chapter” that was initially intended for the movie. This chapter, titled “Yuki’s Revenge,” featured a showdown with Yuki, the sister of Gogo Yubari (played by Chiaki Kuriyama), O-Ren Ishii’s (Lucy Liu) bodyguard. But sadly, due to pacing and budget concerns, the scene was left on the cutting room floor.
The original scene depicted Yuki as she followed the Bride back to the United States and chased her through a suburban area, seeking revenge for the death of her sister. However, the Bride was more than ready for the fight – and in true Tarantino fashion, all hell broke loose.
REVENGE COMPLETE
Now, more than 20 years after a scene was left on the cutting room floor, Quentin Tarantino and Epic Games have joined forces to bring the story to life in Fortnite. Utilizing Unreal Engine and character models from the game, Tarantino’s “The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge” is now complete and features Uma Thurman as the Bride once again. The scene premieres in Fortnite on November 30 at 2 PM ET.
Thankfully, Fortnite has released a teaser to set the tone for the battle awaiting us. The teaser showcases a moment when Yuki confronts the Bride for the first time, leading to an intense gun battle and a thrilling car chase. In true Fortnite fashion, Peely pops up for a brief cameo before being told to return to his home by the Bride, who is more than ready to fight!
RELEASE
Players can find it in the sequence in the top row of Discover when it premieres on November 30. Doors for the viewing experience will open 30 minutes before the show starts. Fans can also see it on the big screen starting Dec. 5 as part of an exclusive limited theatrical run of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair — the new release that combines Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 into a single film, as the director initially intended.
Players who purchase a movie ticket for the opening weekend from participating theaters in the US between November 20 and November 29 will receive a code to redeem and unlock the Gogo Yubari Outfit starting November 30. Players can also unlock the Yuki Yubari outfit for free by logging into Fortnite from November 27 at 9 am ET through December 1 at 9 am ET. So get ready to log on and join the battle with the Bride!
NEW SEASON, OLD SCORES TO SETTLE
Thankfully, The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge is an appetizer for the Fortnite x Kill Bill collaboration that will feature heavily in next season’s Battle Pass. Uma Thurman’s Bride has already been revealed as an unlockable character. Additionally, the Bride will feature in this weekend’s “Zero Hour” live event that will bookend the current Simpsons season.
So, get ready for a rollercoaster ride of Kill Bill awesomeness when the Zero Hour event arrives in Fortnite, and Yuki’s Revenge premieres in Fortnite on November 30. I’ll see you out there!
