Confirmed crew collabs
The season is built around rival pirate crews - collabs and Fortnite originals each fly their own flag.
One Piece
Confirmed by Epic - Monkey D. Luffy's crew flag is in the news feed. The marquee collab of the season.
Pirate Miku + Kasane Teto
Two vocaloids join the lineup - Pirate Miku fits the theme perfectly.
Lil Uzi Vert + A$AP Rocky
Uzi's Icon skin and Pink Tape flag revealed Oct 22; Rocky announced the day before.

The banana leads a Fortnite-original crew.
The teaser trail
- 1The pirate chest
A mysterious chest sits east of Sunken Shores, marked on the map, unkillable - datamines say it transforms daily through the season's final week and plays a different song each day.
- 2"The greatest adventure of all! 11.1"
Epic's October 24 teaser drew a treasure map with a compass rose and the date - that's the name and launch day locked.
- 3The One Piece reveal
Hours later a second teaser showed the Going Merry under a full moon, ending on the Fortnite and One Piece logos.
- 4Expected live event
An end-of-season event should close Override and carry players into the mini-season - a rift loading screen with Jonesy, Hope and the chest supports that.
