Quentin Tarantino and Epic Games Team Up for Fortnite Short The Lost Chapter: Yuki's Revenge
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Quentin Tarantino and Epic Games are bringing an unreleased Kill Bill plot line to Fortnite as a custom Unreal Engine animation called The Lost Chapter: Yuki's Revenge, complete with in-game cameos and scheduled lobby screenings.
Fortnite continues to blur the lines between gaming and cinematic events. According to a report by Polygon, director Quentin Tarantino has partnered with Epic Games to release a brand new short animation titled The Lost Chapter: Yuki's Revenge. The project is based on a plot line that was originally cut from Kill Bill: Volume 1 and follows Yuki Yubari on a quest for revenge against The Bride. What makes this interesting for the community is that the entire short was built inside Unreal Engine using Fortnite models, which means players will spot a few familiar faces making surprise cameos alongside the Tarantino characters.
For players looking to catch the screening, the process is straightforward. You simply need to boot up Fortnite, head to the Discover tab in the lobby, and select the large promotional banner for Yuki's Revenge. Epic Games recommends logging in and joining the viewing experience about thirty minutes early to secure a spot in the lobby before the show begins. If you missed the initial drop, an encore showing is scheduled for 8 p.m. EST on Sunday, November 30. For those catching the upcoming theatrical screenings of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair in the US, Canada, and the UK after December 5, you might even catch the short on the big screen.
This kind of crossover highlights how Fortnite has evolved into a primary virtual venue for major entertainment events. Rather than just dropping a standard trailer or posting a video to YouTube, bringing Hollywood talent directly into the game engine gives the community a shared, interactive space to experience new media together. It is a smart play that keeps players logged in and hanging out with friends, reinforcing the game's status as a central social hub for modern entertainment.
