It’s a tradition: each chapter change in Fortnite is accompanied by a special event, and this end of Chapter 6 is no exception. On Saturday, November 29 at 2 p.m. EST, Epic Games will launch the “Zero Hour” event, a key moment in the game followed by a maintenance period. It is at the end of this sequence that Chapter 7 will officially begin.
And to properly celebrate this transition, Fortnite will offer all players a new skin without spending a single V-buck. A rare gesture on the part of Epic Games, which also marks an exceptional collaboration with a cult figure of cinema: Quentin Tarantino.
Yuki Yubari, the anti-heroine of Kill Bill arrives in Fortnite
The skin offered represents Yuki Yubarian emblematic character of the saga Kill Bill. This collaboration between Epic Games and director Quentin Tarantino promises to be one of the highlights of the launch of Chapter 7. The character will be featured in a new game sequence called “Yuki’s Revenge”expected from November 30.
Yuki Yubari does not arrive alone. According to the first leaks, this Chapter 7 will be marked by other major crossovers, including Back to the future And LEGO Ninjago. Epic Games thus continues to anchor Fortnite as a land of hybrid cultural experiences, where cinema and video games merge.
How to get the free Yuki Yubari skin
The procedure is deliberately simple: Simply log in to Fortnite between November 27 at 9 a.m. and December 1 at 9 a.m. EST. No special missions, no challenges to take on. Players will automatically receive the Yuki Yubari skin when Chapter 7 launches. This means that all they have to do is log in within the time slot to add it to their collection.
This method of obtaining in one click is a first for such an iconic character, which suggests that the skin could become very rare in the futureespecially if Epic Games does not put it back on sale in the store.
A free skin… but perhaps collector’s item?
For the moment, Epic Games has not confirmed whether the Yuki Yubari skin will be accessible after this free distribution period. It is possible that he will return later via the item shop, but nothing is guaranteed. Those who want to avoid spending V-bucks to get it later should therefore take advantage of this immediate opportunity.
With just one click, this free skin could become one of the most coveted items in the game in the months to come. And above all, it anchors Fortnite a little more as the essential scene of major pop culture licenses.
