Naomi Osaka Goes to 'Fortnite' Battleground
According to a report by the Comic Book, Osaka will bring new stuff to the game including the fresh outfits that will soon be available in the item shop.
As a short wrap-up, Osaka first rose to fame in 2013 when he played for Japan. Since then, she began to steamroll her position in the world of tennis as she climbed the ladder.
Her breakthrough year was in 2018 when he defeated tennis legend, Serena Williams, during the US Open finals. Osaka did not stop from there since she collected another accolade at the Australian Open, making her the number one tennis player in the world ranks. She's also the first Asian to do that.
Going back to "Fortnite," Naomi will be coming with two new outfits which will feature two various styles. The first Osaka outfit boasts a Royal Racket pickaxe which comes in the form of an unusual tennis racket that is as deadly as the other weapons.

With this, Osaka receives a Queen's Cloudcarriage glider which will be a huge fan-favorite because of its colors and lights.
The second out is the Dark Priestess outfit which will be arriving with the Portalforger Paddle pickaxe. On top of that, her glider dubbed as Cursed Hazedboard will be carrying her in combat. In comparison, this version appears to be a more sinister counterpart of the Cloudcarriage glider.
In addition, Osaka will be getting a new Serve Stance emote, besides the said cosmetics.
