A long-unseen piece of Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill storyline has been released in an unexpected format. Epic Games announced the premiere of The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge inside Fortnite, marking the first time the director’s scene — written more than two decades ago but never filmed for the original movies — has been brought to life.
The project was directed by Tarantino and stars Uma Thurman, with production built inside Unreal Engine to recreate the cinematic universe within Fortnite. According to the studio, the release allows players to experience the lost segment of Kill Bill as an interactive event rather than a traditional film sequence.

“Bringing this into Fortnite sounded cool and felt like a wonderful fit for the game world and the characters,” Tarantino said in the announcement. “I was waiting for when the time was right, and Fortnite was right — something cinematic inside a much bigger world.”
Alongside the in-game premiere, Fortnite’s newly launched Chapter Seven: Pacific Break Battle Pass features an outfit inspired by Uma Thurman’s character, The Bride, giving players the option to integrate the film persona into regular gameplay.
