A Long-Lost Chapter of Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Kill Bill’ Is Coming to… ‘Fortnite’?

Quentin Tarantino hasn’t released a feature since 2019’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and fans of the filmmaker are still waiting to hear what his next film (his 10th, and purportedly his last) will be. (We’ve long since stopped speculating about his Star Trek movie.) However, there sure has been a lot of Kill Bill talk lately, hasn’t there?

Fresh interest in the Uma Thurman-starring revenge flick—an epic kung fu and yakuza riff that pays homage to Bruce Lee, Sonny Chiba, and beyond, with an anime interlude, sword fights, training montages, rock n’ roll sequences, and gore galore—started with the release of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair in theaters. The special presentation edits together the two-part movie (originally released separately in 2003 and 2004) and will soon be hitting theaters nationwide—meaning you don’t have to travel to a Tarantino-owned cinema to get your eyeballs around it.

But if you crave more Kill Bill and long to witness more slicing blades featuring the Bride and her foes, Fortnite is here to serve. The game, long a curious source of exclusive and/or oddball pop culture content, will be rolling out The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge this weekend.

“Visionary director Quentin Tarantino had a dream of a Kill Bill chapter that never made it to the silver screen, a chapter known as ‘Yuki’s Revenge,’” explains the official Fortnite blog. “Over 20 years later, Tarantino and Epic have come together to bring the story to life in Fortnite. Built with Unreal Engine and character models from Fortnite, Tarantino’s The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge stars Uma Thurman.”

And yes, there’s a trailer, which gives us a glimpse of Yuki Yubari herself—the sister of Gogo Yubari, the cute yet terrifying schoolgirl played by Battle Royale standout Chiaki Kuriyama in Kill Bill. It definitely appears that Yuki is just as adorably sadistic as her sister.

Even with all those weapons… our money’s still on the Bride.

If you want to watch Yuki’s Revenge in Fortnite, it premieres November 30 at 2 p.m.; as the blog explains, “You’ll be able to find it in the top row of Discover. Doors for the viewing experience open 30 minutes before the show starts.”

But if gaming’s not your thing, “starting December 5, participating theaters in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom will show Yuki’s Revenge as part of an exclusive limited theatrical run of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair.”

If Tarantino announces Kill Bill: Volume 3 as his swan song, we can say we saw the signs. Either way, the Kill Bill revival is here to wreck your wedding, bury you alive, rev up your Pussy Wagon, and send you on a cross-country mission to get your daughter back while you plan to (see title). Will you be checking out Yuki’s Revenge in Fortnite or making it part of your big-screen re-watch of The Whole Bloody Affair?
