In recent times, one of the biggest rumors making the rounds in almost all conversations regarding Fortnite is that Naruto is coming to Fortnite Season 8. At first, the information started as speculation. But then, the recent leaks fueled the agenda, and we were almost sure that Naruto would come to the game soon.

When Fortnite 18.30 was released, many believed that the Ramen-themed creative coin is another indicator that Naruto is almost here. But then, many others believed that maybe the developers put it there as a tool for creative users to explore. 

As if to add to the spice to the already juicy expectation, Epic Games also added a scroll that looks exactly like the one behind Naruto’s Sage outfit. The appearance of these two things were all the facts that fans needed to conclude that Naruto would be coming soon, and they’re just trying to prepare the ground for him.

However, as the season launch date approached, we learned that although the anime superhero would be coming to Fortnite this season, we shouldn’t expect to see him in Battle Pass.

But then, after six weeks of speculation, we still do not really know if Naruto will be in the game this season or not.

While we continue to speculate, here are the things we know already:

Naruto may be hiding in Encrypted Files

Many gamers believe that Naruto skin has already been incorporated into the game files and could be hiding under the codename “HeadbandS” and “HeadbandK.” @HYPEX thinks that he will come as an in-game boss. Hence players would need to defeat him in a fight before they are able to purchase him from the item shop.

HYPEX had also predicted that Naruto skin would be launched in the item shop on September 21st, which marked the 22nd Anniversary of the anime hero, but that day came and passed, and Naruto still didn’t show up.  

Epic Games hasn’t yet commented on these. However, considering the current popular demand among many Fortnite Players, we firmly believe that the developers will not sleep on this opportunity to please fans, increase popularity and dominate the gaming space for a long fun time.
