Fans spotted a blood-soaked sword and a yellow jumpsuit in Fortnite’s latest Chapter 7 teaser, sparking theories that Epic Games is preparing a brutal Kill Bill crossover that could bring The Bride into battle royale soon.
However, when we looked closer at the teaser, we noticed something that knocked our socks off and something that our Fortnite team had been praying for ever since Chapter 4 Season 2, that brought katanas – a Kill Bill crossover. Here’s where we spotted the crossover and what it means for Fortnite Chapter 7.
Fortnite Kill Bill Crossover Could Be Arriving in Chapter 7 Update
Epic Games may soon introduce a Kill Bill crossover in Fortnite Chapter 7, hinted at by a recently discovered teaser image showing a katana and yellow motorcycle helmet resembling The Bride’s iconic look. Fans speculate that the update could include themed skins, a samurai-style weapon set, and limited-time challenges inspired by the Tarantino classic. If confirmed, this collaboration would join the growing list of cinematic partnerships that connect pop culture and Fortnite’s expanding universe.
In the latest Fortnite Chapter 7 teaser, the words Fortnite After Hours with Q & U led several players to believe it would be a Q&A session with creators on November 19, when Epic will drop a first look at the new season.
The “Q” and “U” in Fortnite’s latest Chapter 7 teaser might not be random‼️

However, the Tarantino fan in me couldn’t help but realize that the letters Q & U were used by Quentin and Uma Thurman to credit themselves as creators of “The Bride” in the Kill Bill movies. Furthermore, ever since katanas were added to Fortnite, a Twitter has been rumored.
So, leading with that theory and rumors, and given the new Chapter 7 is already hinting at a full Hollywood theme, a Kill Bill crossover, full of The Bride’s yellow suit outfit, red motorbike, and a Katana could very well arrive in Fortnite.
Furthermore, Tarantino is re-releasing a combo of both the Kill Bill films called Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair nationwide in cinemas in the U.S.A starting December 5, 2025. This collab would be a perfect tie-in to celebrate the film’s release. The film will also feature a never-before-seen 7 minute animated sequence, so fans can expect some Fortnite references in there too.
While Epic is yet to announce its next big crossovers, including major collabs with Warner Bros’ Harry Potter and Disney’s metaverse, Fortnite players are hoping that a Kill Bill crossover would arrive and deliver on the true sword combat that they have been missing ever since.
