Fortnite Gives First Look at One Piece Content

Rumors had been swirling for weeks that One Piece would anchor the next Fortnite season. Nothing was confirmed, and fans waited anxiously until the final moment. This Sunday, Epic Games finally ended the suspense and officially revealed the One Piece crossover season. New teasers are now trickling out, offering players an early glimpse of the One Piece skins headed to Fortnite.

Fortnite Treasure Hunters launches next Sunday, Nov. 1. As the date draws closer, more details keep surfacing, painting a clearer picture of what this year’s annual mini-season has in store. Just last week, hope was starting to fade that One Piece would make an appearance. Posters spotted on the Madrid subway suggested the Battle Pass might offer generic anime-inspired skins instead of true collaborative cosmetics. Fortunately, Epic Games settled the matter by confirming that One Piece is part of the Treasure Hunters season, teasing the Going Merry ship on the Battle Royale island.

Luffy and Ace from One Piece are heading to Fortnite next season

With the Straw Hat Pirates’ ship set to take over from the Battle Bus, fans naturally wondered whether any crew members would join the skin lineup. That question has now been answered. Wanted posters in the One Piece style, found around London’s Soho district, reveal four familiar faces arriving next season: Luffy and Ace from One Piece, along with Jonesy and Hope, two original Fortnite characters given an anime makeover.

The previous chapter’s mini-season centered on The Simpsons, Battle Pass included. It offered four skins: three Simpsons characters (Homer, Ned, and Marge) and one Fortnite character reimagined in Simpsons style, or two if you count the bonus Simpsons-styled Peely. The characters on these posters will most likely make up the four skins in this mini-season’s Battle Pass. With only a few days remaining in Chapter 7 Season 4, Epic Games will almost certainly share a closer look at the skins on its social media channels very soon.
