Fortnite One Piece Mini-Season: Confirmed and Live Since Nov 1

Updated November 5, 2026: Epic has made it official. Fortnite’s One Piece season, Treasure Hunters, launched on November 1. We rewrote this story around Epic’s own announcements and removed unofficial details that didn’t come from Epic.

Yes, One Piece is in Fortnite. Fortnite Treasure Hunters started on November 1, 2026, right after Chapter 7 Season 4 ended. “Starting today, November 1, drop into Fortnite Treasure Hunters: a new Island where you’ll search for mysterious loot, fight with powers straight from One Piece and collect new Sprites,” Epic wrote in its official update notes. “The Straw Hat crew and A$AP Rocky’s crew are already here.”

• Status: official and live since November 1 (v43.00 update)
• Type: a short mini-season before Chapter 8, as GamesRadar+ describes it
• One Piece skins: Monkey D. Luffy, Nami and Usopp are in the Item Shop, per Epic
• Free One Piece Outfits: Roronoa Zoro and Buggy, for top regional players in two competitive cups

When did Epic confirm Fortnite x One Piece?

Epic started teasing on October 24. Its @Fortnite account posted “The greatest adventure of all! 11.1”, and a second post the same day was just three hat emoji. On October 30, @FortniteStatus set v43.00 downtime for November 1 at 1 AM ET (5 AM UTC) and promised “One Piece powers” on “a new 80-player Island.” The season went live that day, and @Fortnite posted: “Monkey D. Luffy, Nami and Usopp are live now in the Shop.”

What’s in the One Piece season

From Epic’s v43.00 notes:

• Gum-Gum Fruit: transform into Luffy for long-range rubber punches, foot slams or a charged launch.
• Flame-Flame Fruit: become Ace, fire rapid shots and finish with a Fire Fist.
• Zoro’s Three Sword Style, Usopp’s Slingshot and Nami’s Tangerine, a heal that also boosts you in water.
• One Piece places on the new Crossbones Isle: Baratie Bay with its floating restaurant, Windmill Village, Loguetown and Arlong Park.
• Weekly arrivals: Buggy crashes onto the Island in week 2, along with Lil Uzi, Cuddle Team Leader and the Megalodon. On November 4, @FortniteStatus said new Captains now arrive on Sundays.
• Competitive cups: the One Piece: Zoro Cup on November 6 and the One Piece: Buggy Cup on November 13. Top regional performers can earn the Roronoa Zoro and Buggy Outfits and their accessories.

A themed mini-season between chapters isn’t new. GamesRadar+ compares Treasure Hunters to The Simpsons mini-season “this time last year,” a short season that bridged the gap to the next chapter.

Fortnite’s anime collabs so far

One Piece joins a long list of anime crossovers. The dates below come from Siliconera’s list of every anime crossover:

Siliconera also lists Dragon Ball Super, whose first wave brought Goku, Vegeta, Beerus and Bulma, with Gohan and Piccolo following in January 2023. Most of these were Item Shop sets, sometimes with Battle Pass skins or themed items such as Dragon Ball’s Kamehameha. Treasure Hunters goes further: One Piece powers, places and characters run through the whole season.

What’s next

The Zoro Cup is on November 6 and the Buggy Cup on November 13. Keep an eye on @FortniteStatus for the weekly schedule, since it changed on November 4. Follow the rest on our gaming news live page.
