Fortnite begins teasing big Dragon Ball crossover

Fans poking around in Fortnite's game files have known this crossover was coming for some time. Today, Epic Games - fresh from its two-week summer break - began teasing the collaboration.

Fortnite's Dragon Ball event is expected to be a big one, with numerous characters coming to the game as skins, alongside weeks of tie-in challenges.

It's all due to kick off next week, on 16th August, when Fortnite's next big update is set to release.

This will be the first title update in a month for Epic's battle royale, following the company's annual summer break where Fortnite staff down tools for two weeks.
