So, did people actually participate in it?
In the relentless struggle to identify with today's youth, developers need to keep up to date with the latest trends and memes. In the last two months, the raid on Area 51 was the new hot spot. "They can't stop us all!" Oh, good times. September 20 was the date of this supposed raid, but I haven't heard any news of extraterrestrial technology, so I guess nothing came of it. Nevertheless, Epic Games decided to capitalize on the meme and therefore added a Naruto Fortnite emote to the game.
A big part of the "strategy" was having an army of "Naruto Runners" flank the base. Like in the anime, players lean forward and run their arms behind them, you know, for aerodynamic purposes. To avoid the invitation to a lawsuit, Epic Games is calling the Full Tilt emote, but I mean, will that stop it? My question is, who can sue? Who Owns the “Naruto Race”? Along with the emote, Epic Games also released “Zorgoton Outfit” and “Flying Slasher Pickaxe” as part of an Area 51 collection. These items are available in the Item Shop.

Personally, I would like to see a “Kyle” emote where the character goes through the drywall headfirst. It's probably less risky, legally. Full Tilt's emote and other Area 51 members may not count as they compete with the Fortnite x Batman event.
Do you like the Batman event or the Naruto emote more? Let us know in the comments below.
