Epic Games schedules Fortnite Treasure Hunters mini-season

Epic Games has scheduled the launch of a new pirate-themed mini-season titled Treasure Hunters in Fortnite, running from November 1 to December 4, 2026, according to details published by Sortiraparis. The update introduces an 80-player island featuring One Piece characters, themed abilities, a battle pass, and an expansive store skin schedule.

Bone Crunch Island and the 80-Player Map

The central structural update centers on a brand-new pirate-themed map designed for up to 80 players. Sortiraparis reported that the arena features a distinctive skull-shaped island alongside traditional nautical landmarks, including Arlong Park, Fushia Village, and the ship named Rocky. Cannons are integrated into the terrain as a functional mode of transportation across the combat zone.

Battle Pass Characters and Store Additions

The upcoming battle pass features Portgas D. Ace alongside Nico Robin, Jones, Love Captain, and Charlotte, with the latter three receiving distinct anime styling. Sortiraparis noted that gifting the pass grants both the sender and receiver a Dark Cute Specialist style. While pricing and tier breakdowns remain unannounced, Epic Games confirmed that Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro will be sold directly in the in-game store.
