To celebrate the release of the new skins, Epic Games has also announced the return of the Hidden Leaf Village adventure map as well as the Nindo Community Challenge. Hidden Leaf Village allows players to visit iconic locations from Naruto while earning XP for completing quests.

The Naruto Rivals skin set drops into the game on the same week as the Fortnite 21.10 patch, which sees Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers invade certain locations on the map and challenge all players who dare to enter his chosen domain.
