Kill Bill to receive Quentin Tarantino-helmed sequel The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge in Fortnite
Fortnite will premiere a new animated Kill Bill sequel, The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge, directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring Uma Thurman, on November 30.

Epic Games has announced The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge, an animated short written and directed by Tarantino and built entirely in Unreal Engine using Fortnite’s character models.
The film acts as a narrative sequel to the original movies, bringing back Uma Thurman as Beatrix Kiddo and introducing Yuki Yubari, sister of Volume 1 villain Gogo Yubari.
It premieres in Fortnite on November 30 at 2pm ET, with doors opening 30 minutes early via the top row of the Discover tab.
Tarantino has previously spoken about a never-filmed Kill Bill chapter known as Yuki’s Revenge, and this collaboration finally brings that idea to life, two decades after the original movies.
Players who log in anytime before December 1 will earn a free Yuki Yubari skin, while a separate real-world theatrical screening will take place on December 5 across the U.S., UK, and Canada.
Those attending the cinema release, paired with a showing of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, will receive an exclusive code for the Gogo Yubari outfit, currently the only way to obtain it.
This is the first time a Kill Bill story has been told off the silver screen, though Tarantino has used animation before, the O-Ren Ishii origin sequence in Volume 1.
Now, with Fortnite’s massive audience and cinematic tools, Yuki’s Revenge marks both a bold experiment in storytelling and another major win in Epic’s push to turn the game into a cultural events platform.
The event arrives amid Fortnite’s recent surge of pop-culture crossovers, including the wildly popular Simpsons event earlier this month.
