My Hero Academia will now be the latest anime collaborator with Fortnite after Deku was shown in the Chapter 4 Season 1 trailer on Sunday. Previous iconic anime series that collaborated with Fortnite include Naruto and Dragon Ball, both of which have launched a plethora of playable characters (skins). No word on which characters from My Hero Academia will be playable in the new season besides Deku. The news was first speculated after fans spotted an All Might-style pick axe in the Chapter 4 trailer video that was released on Saturday, which you can watch below as well. (For Deku’s appearance, fast forward to 1:15 in the trailer Chapter 4 Season 1 launch trailer)
My Hero Academia and Fortnite keep the ball rolling in the anime/gaming collaborations. Earlier this year, Fortnite collaborated with Dragon Ball, bringing fans Goku, Vegeta, Bulma, and Beerus to the iconic game. And just a year prior, Fortnite brought us our first anime collab with Naruto, which has also released a Part 2 of new characters since the official collaboration.
No word as of yet on other playable characters in the new Fortnite season of the My Hero Academia franchise. But seeing as how both Naruto and Dragon Ball both revealed four characters from each series to start their collaborations with Fortnite, it could be a safe bet to say the same will happen with My Hero Academia as well. For more information on the new season, be sure to check out the official website and follow Gameranx on Twitter for any more updates regarding new characters from My Hero Academia we’ll be seeing in the near future.
