Kingdom Hearts Coming to Fortnite This Week

While Fortnite is certainly no stranger to unexpected franchise crossovers, seeing Sora from Kingdom Hearts heavily strapped with assault rifles still manages to catch players off guard. Epic Games has officially announced that the beloved universe of Kingdom Hearts is making its dramatic entrance into the battle royale landscape.

Beginning this Thursday, September 17, four iconic Kingdom Hearts character outfits will officially land in the Fortnite Item Shop as part of the ongoing Chapter 7, Season 4 update. Fans will soon be able to step onto the battlefield wearing the distinct Kingdom Hearts II attire of Sora, Kairi, Riku, and Roxas. Although Epic has kept exact bundle pricing and bundled cosmetic accessories under wraps for now, an accompanying cinematic trailer showcases the legendary heroes sprinting across Destiny Islands and engaging in skirmishes against Heartless-inspired adversaries.

For eager enthusiasts craving more updates from the franchise, the highly anticipated mainline sequel, Kingdom Hearts IV, recently secured an official 2027 release window alongside the reveal of its inaugural Disney-themed realm. Additionally, keen-eyed fans can catch up on potential plot details following an accidental leak of upcoming Steam achievements.
