Epic Games is about to set sail on one of its most ambitious and eclectic crossover events to date.
Following the conclusion of the Fortnitemares event and the Chapter 7 “Override” season, Fortnite is launching a massive, pirate-themed mini-season titled “Treasure Hunters” on November 1, 2026. The month-long event is headlined by a wildly unexpected team-up: the legendary Straw Hat Pirates from the hit anime One Piece, and a brand-new anime-styled version of rapper A$AP Rocky. If you are ready to board the Battle Bus, which has reportedly been converted into a pirate ship, here is everything you need to know about the upcoming skins, map changes, and the highly rumored mythic items. For related anime crossover coverage, see our Fortnite Black Clover skins breakdown.
A$AP Rocky's anime debut and battleship
A$AP Rocky is not just getting a standard Icon Series skin; he is receiving a massive in-game integration heavily inspired by his Don't Be Dumb era.
Drawn entirely in an anime art style to match the One Piece aesthetic, Rocky will arrive on the island via his own battleship point of interest called the “$. $. Rocky”. Players can board the ship, listen to his song “GRIM,” and even challenge the rapper to a high-stakes Boss fight set to his track “Helicopter.” During combat, players will have to dodge his signature Shock Rocket attacks.
While the mini-season starts on November 1, A$AP Rocky's cosmetics will officially hit the Item Shop a few days later on November 5. The bundle will feature the music-reactive “Rocky Rugahand” outfit, the “Shirthead Flacko” outfit, and his real-world collaborative PUMA footwear.
The Straw Hats and Devil Fruits
For anime fans, the arrival of One Piece is the main event. Epic Games has confirmed a massive rollout of characters spanning the first two weeks of November.
The first wave of skins drops on November 1, featuring Luffy, Nami, and Usopp in the Item Shop, alongside Portgas D. Ace and Nico Robin included in the new Treasure Hunters Battle Pass. A second wave will follow on November 7, bringing Zoro, Sanji, and a Chopper Sidekick companion to the shop, with Buggy the Clown slated to arrive on November 12.
But what about the iconic Devil Fruits? While players are desperate to stretch like Luffy or wield fire like Ace, Epic Games has kept the exact gameplay mechanics tightly under wraps. However, the community is heavily predicting that Devil Fruits will appear across the map as high-tier Mythic items, granting players unique combat abilities during a match. Given Fortnite's history with anime mythics, like the Dragon Ball Kamehameha and the My Hero Academia Deku Smash, it is likely we will see Devil Fruit powers integrated directly into the island's loot pool, though nothing is confirmed yet.
The Treasure Hunters mini-season will run for exactly one month, concluding with a massive live event on December 5, 2026, before transitioning into Chapter 8.
