Perhaps the most unexpected Fortnite collab this year is having an even more unexpected involvement in cinema history. Not only has Quentin Tarantino directed a cut scene from Kill Bill, with Uma Thurman reprising her iconic role and the Fortnite team animated, but it will be show theatrically alongside Tarantino’s release of The Whole Bloody Affair (A combined version of Kill Bill 1 & 2 with extra content).
Tarantino Enters the Metaverse
“Yuki’s Revenge” premieres November 30 at 2 p.m. ET and will be featured in Fortnite’s top Discover row, with virtual doors opening half an hour ahead of showtime. The project marks one of the most ambitious filmmaker crossovers yet for Epic: a genuine auteur piece rendered inside the engine that powers the game’s universe.
The short reveals Yuki Yubari, younger sister of Kill Bill’s iconic schoolgirl assassin Gogo, and restores a scene that Tarantino once described as a crucial but unshot.
A Limited Run on Actual Screens
While Fortnite gets the debut, Tarantino purists can still catch the chapter in a darkened theater. According to Epic, starting December 5, “Yuki’s Revenge” will screen in select theaters across the U.S., Canada and the U.K. as part of an exclusive limited run of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair.
Somewhere between stunt, experiment and genuine canon restoration, this event marks the first time any of this has ever happened (aside from maybe that One Battle After Another Fortnite mini-game that Warner Bros. made).
Tickets Come With A Gogo Yubari Fortnite Skin
To sweeten the rollout, players who buy a movie ticket for opening weekend from participating U.S. theaters between November 20 and 29 will get a redeemable code unlocking the Gogo Yubari Outfit in Fortnite beginning November 30. It’s a clean tie-in: watch the chapter her sister was meant to headline, then jump into the island wearing her signature look.
As Tarantino edges closer to the long-promised “final film,” “Yuki’s Revenge” arrives as both a curiosity and a coda — a rare instance of a filmmaker filling in a gap he left open two decades ago, now rendered through a digital world that didn’t exist when he wrote it. Whether it plays as a footnote or a revelation, fans will be lining up — in game lobbies and in theaters — to find out.
