Director Quentin Tarantino has produced a new "Kill Bill" scene in the Unreal Engine. "Yuki's Revenge" complements the story of the film classics and shows how the titular Yuki clashes with "The Bride," played by Uma Thurman, to take revenge for her murdered sister Gogo Yubari. The scene was originally supposed to be in the first draft for "Kill Bill" but was cut.

Now Tarantino has provided it – in "Fortnite." "Yuki's Revenge" was first shown on November 30th within the online shooter, whose developer Epic Games also develops the Unreal Engine. "Yuki's Revenge" is therefore packed with "Fortnite" allusions such as the spawn drone that marks killed enemies, as well as characters in shark and banana costumes.

Uma Thurman was also involved in the production of the new "Kill Bill" scene for "Fortnite," whose performance was transferred to the Unreal Engine via motion capture. The result is an eight-minute short film in a stop-motion aesthetic.

Cinema release planned

In "Fortnite," the short film was only available on November 30th. In the future, it will be shown in cinemas at least in the USA, Canada, and the United Kingdom as part of the cinema re-release "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair," alongside the two films. Alternatively, the short film can also be found quite easily on YouTube – but it is unclear what Epic Games and Tarantino think of these unofficial uploads.

As is usual for Epic Games, the release of the "Kill Bill" short film is accompanied by new costumes that players can buy for their "Fortnite" game characters. Collaborations with well-known brands are part of "Fortnite's" business concept. November was "Simpsons" month: The promo event includes a Springfield map for 80 players in "Fortnite" and a total of four "The Simpsons" short videos, which were broadcast on Disney+ during the month.
