Holding down-back in the center of the storm
Ryu and Chun-Li won’t be the onlyStreet Fightercharacters inFortnitefor much longer. Capcom announced today that two more fighters, Guile and Cammy, will be headed to the battle royale.
The pair will hit theFortniteItem Shopon Aug. 7 at 8 p.m. ET. Much like Ryu and Chun-Li, both characters get some extras alongside their in-game skins. Guile gets a K.O. Back Bling and a beach-ready Glistening Guile Variant. The showcase also showed an emote of Guile doing his Flash Kick, followed by a comb of his luscious, gravity-defying locks.
The Cammy Outfit, meanwhile, has a Borealis Backer Back Bling and a Tactical Cammy Variant. They also showed off her own emote, which features her back-turned win pose. I’m a little bummed that Cammy’s Variant isn’t a Decapre alt or anything, but it’s still cool to see one of my earliestStreet Fightermains cross over intoFortnite.
The Cammy & Guile Gear Bundle will also add someStreet Fighter-inspired gear, like the Knuckle Buster Pickaxe and Cammy’s Delta Red Bowie Blade Pickaxe, as well as a V-Trigger Vector Glider inspired by Guile’s original stage.
Thanks to the timing of the launch, yes, this means you may attendAriana Grande’s upcomingconcert seriesinFortniteas either Cammy or Guile fromStreet Fighter. It might sound a little bizarre, butFortnitehas grown so much at this point to encompass so many franchises and characters that, sure, why not? I think Guile and Cammy deserve a little R&R and a virtual concert vacation from the usual bouts of street fighting.
Capcom also confirmed that Oro and Akira, the next two characters coming toStreet Fighter V, are arriving on Jul 21, 2025. As for Guile and Cammy, they’ll arrive inFortniteon Aug. 7.
