Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 Battle Pass could shape up to be quite an appealing one. While we wait for the current alien invasion to wrap up, a Fortnite streamer might have just spilled the beans regarding what to expect from Season 8.

Rumors surrounding Naruto Uzumaki coming to Fortnite are nothing new and have been circulating for some time. However, CandywingX, a Fortnite Streamer, confirms that the ‘Seventh Hokage’ will be coming to Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8, as a Battle Pass character.

While this has not yet been confirmed by Epic Games or Donald Mustard himself, Epic had successfully obtained the rights to Naruto back in August this year. So it is considered possible that the developers might have worked out a way to include the character in the upcoming Battle Pass.

Other than Naruto, there have been speculations that The Foundation skin can also make a return in Season 8. Players last saw him during the Season 7 trailer falling straight into the ocean and have not heard of him ever since. If Epic manages to get both Naruto and The Foundation skin next season, players are certainly in for a treat.
