Fortnite x Ninja: Massive Blitz Royale Takeover Coming August 2

Epic Games has announced an exciting new collaboration with legendary streamer Ninja, who will be taking control of Fortnite’s Blitz Royale mode on August 2 at 4 PM ET. This special update will feature new weapons, custom rules, and a fresh skin variant for Ninja himself—marking a bold new direction for one of Fortnite’s most popular game modes.

Blitz Royale Becomes Permanent — And More Chaotic Than Ever

Following its rapid rise in popularity, Blitz Royale is now a permanent fixture in Fortnite. Epic is celebrating this milestone with a major content drop led by Ninja, promising fans a high-octane experience filled with surprises.

Starting at 4 PM ET, players will dive into a revamped Blitz Royale featuring exclusive weapons like the Blitz Boss Ninja’s Trash Launcher and the Get Good Shotgun. This version of the game mode will introduce brand-new mechanics, offering a fresh take even for veteran players.

Super Showdown Live Event Kicks Off the Action

The action-packed day begins earlier with the Super Showdown live event, set for 2:30 PM ET. As Chapter 6 Season 3 draws to a close, this event is expected to wrap up the current storyline and build hype for Season 4. Epic has already teased the return of Superman, suggesting the DC hero will play a key role in the unfolding narrative.

But the Super Showdown isn’t just an ending—it’s the beginning of a full afternoon of content that leads directly into the Blitz Royale update and Ninja’s takeover.

New Blitz Royale Modes: Six Stack and Pure Chaos

Ahead of Ninja's event, two new Blitz Royale modes will launch at 3 PM ET:

• Six Stack: For the first time, players can team up in squads of six, allowing larger groups to compete together.
• Pure Chaos: A hardcore mode featuring increased siphon and tougher opponents, perfect for players seeking an intense challenge.

Dragon Ball Mythics Return—With a Twist

Adding to the fun, Dragon Ball mythic items are making a comeback in Blitz Royale. For one hour following the Super Showdown event, players will gain unlimited access to powerful abilities like the Kamehameha, allowing for total mayhem on the battlefield.

This power-fueled chaos will serve as a bridge between the Super Showdown and the Ninja-led Blitz Royale update later that afternoon.

A Packed Day for Fortnite Fans

With live events, streamer collaborations, new game modes, and the return of fan-favorite items, August 2 is shaping up to be one of the biggest days in Fortnite’s recent history. As Epic Games pushes forward with new ideas and high-profile partnerships, fans have every reason to feel excited about what’s coming next.
