“’Fortnite’ and celebrating fandom go hand in hand, and ‘Dragon Ball’ is truly beloved all over the world,” says Claire Ripsteen, Fortnite partnerships, Epic Games. “We're excited to be partnering with Toei Animation to offer ‘Fortnite’ and ‘Dragon Ball’ fans alike a unique chance to experience their favorite anime in a way that only ‘Fortnite’ can offer – whether it be exploring the ‘Dragon Ball’ Adventure Island, watching ‘Dragon Ball Super’ episodes with friends or wielding the powers of Goku through new gameplay items." 

 “Dragon Ball” characters, Goku, Vegeta, Bulma and Beerus join the world of “Fortnite” in a “Dragon Ball”-themed collaboration that includes new gameplay items, quests, “Dragon Ball” islands and more.  

"We’re thrilled to partner with Epic Games and bring this first-ever Toei Animation franchise integration to ‘Fortnite,’" says Lisa Yamatoya, director, global marketing, Toei Animation. "Over the last 36 years, the ‘Dragon Ball’ franchise has built perhaps the largest global fanbase of any anime.

We’re excited to see the response to ‘Dragon Ball’s’ arrival in ‘Fortnite.’”
