Aside from the release date, the actual details of what’s included in the Naruto collaboration are scarce. Many leaks have shown that cosmetics such as kunai and ninja scrolls will appear in the pack. There are also official Japanese advertisements showcasing a few pieces of the content pack, including Kakashi’s dog, Pakkun, as back-bling.

While not much has been officially shown, the official reveal image makes it clear that the pack is focused on the sequel to the original Naruto series, Naruto: Shippuden. That means all cosmetics will probably be based around that series, as opposed to the original.

There’s a lot that Epic could include in this pack, but it’s going to be a waiting game to see what is actually coming. While the leaks and ads hint at multiple skins featured, nothing has been set in stone. Players can get their hands on Fortnite‘s Naruto: Shippuden pack next week on November 16.

Razer has decided that hearing an explosion isn't quite enough anymore. The company has launched the Kraken V4 X Sensa HD Haptics, a new wired gaming headset that adds physical vibrations to the audio experience. Essentially, when something suitably dramatic happens in a game, the headset can make the player feel it as well as hear it.

The big trick here is Sensa HD Haptics, Razer's haptic technology that converts compatible game audio into physical feedback. Explosions, gunshots, engines, and other low-frequency sounds can translate into vibrations through the headset, adding another layer of immersion without requiring a fancy gaming chair with an unnecessarily aggressive subwoofer.
