Never fear! All Might is here! Soon, fans of Fortnite will be able to say that while playing matches because the team behind My Hero Academia is heading to console. After a slew of rumors hit social media, all eyes turned to Fortnite today as the game announced its fourth chapter. It was there fans learned Deku and the MHA Gang are joining the battle royale, and it is safe to say netizens are geeking out.

For those who aren't up to date, Fortnite announced its latest Battle Royale update this weekend, and the new chapter celebrated with a trailer. It was there fans were shown new terrains and items, but all eyes were on Deku instead. After all, rumors cropped up days ago suggesting My Hero Academia was joining Fortnite, and this trailer ultimately confirmed the rumor was spot on.

As you can see in the slides below, fans are geeking out over the addition, and it is easy to see why. Fortnite is one of the biggest video games in the globe. It takes a special franchise to join the Fortnite canon, and so far, only a handful of anime have been allowed to take part. Dragon Ball and Naruto make up the exclusive group, so it means a lot to see My Hero Academia join the gang.

Of course, the timing of this addition couldn't be better. My Hero Academia is airing its latest season, after all. Season six went live at the start of October, and it is heating up in a big way these days. With a new war waging, our pro heroes have learned just how deadly the League of Villains has become, and some familiar faces have already lost their lives trying to stop Shigaraki's gang. So if there was ever a time to spotlight Izuku, well – right now would be the time!
