If any property is popular enough, it seems almost inevitable that they’re going to get a crossover with Fortnite, so it only makes sense for Dragon Ball to get the center stage multiple times.
Son Gohan and Piccolo are now available in the big battle royale shooter as promotion for the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero film, which of course means they’re now cursed to dance for all eternity.
Since the fighters are connected to their most recent movie, the duo are basically wearing the same purple gi with Piccolo’s iconic white cape although they can only be applied to these skins.
They each come with a special transformation with Gohan being able to charge up into Super Saiyan while Piccolo gets his new power awakened form — yet they’ve strangely left out Beast Gohan and Orange Piccolo for now.

As premium skins, players will need to spend a good chunk of change to take the Dragon Ball heroes into battle with each individual character priced at 1,800 V-Bucks (~$12 USD) or bundled together with their accessories for 2,200 V-Bucks (~$15).

The Dragon Ball Adventure Island has returned as well for players to explore locations from the anime and earn new sprays while the Kamehameha attack and Nimbus Cloud items have been added back to the maps.

Last year, Fortnite added Goku, Vegeta, Beerus and Bulma to the game, and though they aren’t available again in the store right now, it sounds as though they’ll be coming back again at some point.

Now we can finally have an epic dance battle between Piccolo and corporate Blanka to see who is the meanest green man on Earth.
