Fortnite and Epic Games have slyly revealed Nickelodeon (namely, Danny Phantom) is coming to Battle Island alongside the potential return of the Battle Bus.
Fortnite has officially shared an advertisement for upcoming outfits coming to the Item Shop this week, confirming previous leaks for Danny Phantom‘s inclusion on Battle Island. Not only is Danny Phantom set to join the fray, but Kill Bill is also continuing to add to its Fortnite roster, with a Gogo Yubari addition to the closet. A fresh companion can be recruited from the Item Shop as well, giving fans the option to have the Best Cat or a Phantom Guffpup sidekick companion. If fans are fast enough, the Naruto Kakashi bundle from Naruto Shippuden is still up on the shop today. The Item Shop announcement can be seen below.
The new item shop bundle will feature skins for Danny Phantom and Samantha Manson, opening the door for potential future Nickelodeon collaborations (like the often rumoured inclusion of SpongeBob SquarePants) and as Fortnite has proven with The Simpsons, there’s no collaboration too out of bounds for Battle Island. Alongside new additions to the item shop, Fortnite has also teased the return of the Battle Bus. The Battle Bus Driver texted the runners of the official X account that they were, in fact, not obliterated by an energy beam last week, saying “I Lived”.
After the alleged demise of the Battle Bus via energy beam, players have been hard at work completing quests to repair the Battle Bus, locating pieces of the rig to reassemble, and this text message proves the hard work may have paid off. Although the bus looks a little worse for wear, Epic Games hasn’t confirmed whether the surfing mechanic (the current way to enter battle royale matches) will remain once repairs are complete.
Fans can jump in and check out the new additions to the Item Shop today, and fans should note that today is the last day for the Naruto Bundle (at a discount no less).
