🤡 Hold onto your hats, folks, because the cinematic masterpiece that is Kill Bill is about to get the Fortnite treatment! Yes, you read that right. Quentin Tarantino, the guy who brought us foot fetishes and excessive violence, has decided that the best place for his unreleased Kill Bill short, The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge, is in a video game where you can also play as Spider-Man and do the default dance. Get ready for peak cinema, baby! 🤡
So, apparently, 20 years after Kill Bill: Vol 2 graced theaters (and scarred children for life), we’re finally getting a glimpse into a previously unfilmed short that expands the Kill Bill universe. But not in a cool, cinematic way. Oh no, we’re getting it in Fortnite. Because nothing screams “artistic integrity” like a battle royale game where you can build forts and shoot at Peely the Banana. While there is a planned theatrical re-release of both Kill Bill films called The Whole Bloody Affair, the new short titled The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge will premiere in Fortnite instead. Because who needs a dark, grimy theater when you can experience the magic on your Nintendo Switch while your mom yells at you to take out the trash? The news broke from the Kill Bill director himself, Quentin Tarantino, alongside actress Uma Thurman (who plays Beatrix Kiddo in the films) at the Fortnite event in Hollywood, California, on Wednesday. Because nothing says Hollywood like a bunch of sweaty gamers and a guy who loves feet.
The new Tarantino-ified season will kick things off on November 30, and at that time, The Simpsons-themed season will be replaced. I’m sure the hardcore Kill Bill fans are thrilled that their beloved franchise is sharing space with Bart Simpson and John Cena. What is the short film supposed to be? It’s explained as a short story focused on Gogo Yubari’s sister, Yuki, who goes after Beatrix Kiddo. The supposed story materials were never shot or used, and for 22 years, lived as passing mentions in Tarantino interviews. Now it’s finally coming to fruition, and not as a film, but as a scene in a live-service video game with a battle pass that includes multiple versions of John Cena, and Marvel’s Galactus. Anything is possible in Fortnite. I can’t wait to see Yuki wielding a lightsaber while doing the Floss dance. This is truly the peak of artistic expression. 🙄
Fortnite Chapter 7 is set to launch on November 30, after the current The Simpsons mini-season (based in Springfield) ends. Chapter 6 started in December 2024, and hosted four separate Seasons and two Mini-Seasons based on Star Wars and The Simpsons. By the time Chapter 6 ends, it will have run one day shy of a year. So get ready to grind for those V-Bucks, because you know you’re gonna need that Yuki skin. After all, who wouldn’t want to run around as a vengeful sister in a game where you can also be a banana or Goku? It’s the crossover event of the century! 🤣
