Swords, revenge and a very famous yellow suit.
Twenty years after Kill Bill secured his place in film history with katanas and an incurable amount of fake blood, Quentin Tarantino finally releases a missing chapter from the saga, and he does it in the most 2025-esque way possible: inside Fortnite.

The Bride is back, digitally.
The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge will premiere in-game on November 30 at 19:00 GMT, with a virtual “waiting room” opening 30 minutes earlier.
It is a fully animated short film made with Fortnite’s Unreal Engine, written and directed by Tarantino, and starring Uma Thurman as Beatrix Kiddo again.
The story itself is not new, at least not for hardcore fans.
Yuki’s Revenge is a long-awaited sequence originally written for Kill Bill Vol. 1 that follows Yuki Yubari, the sister of schoolgirl serial killer Gogo Yubari, as she hunts down the Bride to avenge her sister’s very stylish and spiky death.
The scene never made it to the big screen, even though the script has been circulating online for years (although we’re assuming there wasn’t a walking banana in the original).
Now, it’s finally being brought to life, only via a battle-royale platform that’s better known for emojis and silly costumes.
This is not as strange a collaboration as it may sound.
Fortnite has spent years transforming from a game into a full-fledged pop culture arena, hosting concerts, crossovers, and, more recently, a Simpsons event that lured back millions of former players.
Kill Bill’s mix of stylized violence, pulp fun, and pop cartoon energy feels right at home there.
Players who log in between now and December 1 will also receive a Yuki Yubari costume, while those who purchase tickets for the limited US cinema screening, which starts on December 5 as part of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, can secure a Gogo Yubari costume with a redemption code.
This also marks the first time something from Kill Bill has debuted outside of cinemas.
Tarantino’s original duology, released in 2003 and 2004, became instant cult favorites thanks to their juxtaposition of samurai films, spaghetti westerns, and Shaw Brothers spines.
The films even dipped into animation for O-Ren Iishi’s origin story, making this new Unreal animated short feel like a strangely authentic expansion of that world.
As for the illusive Kill Bill Vol. 3, both Tarantino and Uma Thurman have said that it is unlikely to ever be realized.
But for now, fans are in for something almost as mythical: a lost scene revived, circumcised, and unleashed in one of the world’s biggest games.
