Shohei Ohtani Set to Join Fortnite on March 17, Includes New Outfits, Equipment and Emotes

MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani is set to join Fortnite on March 17 at 6pm ET, starting with three new Dodgers outfits: white for home, grey for away, and a LEGO Style for LEGO Fortnite. For those who just can’t wait, be sure to participate in March 15’s Shohei Ohtani Cup, a Solo Battle Royale tournament where the top points-earning players in each region will unlock the Samurai Shohei Outfit early.

Fans can also look forward to a Samurai Shohei Outfit in both standard and LEGO Style, while the reactive Samurai Screamer Back Bling will turn fiery after you get eliminations in a match. Don’t forget to get the Baseball Batana Pickaxe either to start farming for mats like you would your batting average. In terms of emotes, there’s the Doggy Dingers Emote and then the Hey Batter Batter Emote.

You’re up to bat with one strike left. The fate of the game depends on your next move — make it a home run! In March 15’s Shohei Ohtani Cup, a Solo Battle Royale tournament, the top points-earning players in each region will unlock the Samurai Shohei Outfit early. Send your rivals back to the dugout! In this event, go the extra inning by playing up to ten matches within your region’s three-hour time window,” said Epic Games.
