Overview
- Epic Games officially revealed the second Bleach crossover in a trailer published on Tuesday, showing Yoruichi Shihōin and Kisuke Urahara as playable cosmetic skins.
- The new cosmetics are scheduled to hit the Item Shop on Friday, Aug. 7 in U.S. time zones with some regions seeing the drop on Aug. 8 after local resets.
- Epic has not published prices for the Wave 2 items and reporters estimate a bundle of just the two characters could cost about 2,800 to 3,000 V‑Bucks based on last December’s 4,000 V‑Buck four‑character bundle.
- Coverage and the trailer treat this release as a cosmetic collaboration that includes at least one Yoruichi emote and likely optional extras such as back blings or pickaxes rather than gameplay changes.
- This drop continues Fortnite’s pattern of staggered anime tie‑ins following the December Wave 1 release of Ichigo, Rukia, Uryu and Orihime and raises the chance that earlier Bleach cosmetics will return to the shop.
