Fortnite’s latest season has officially arrived, bringing together some of the biggest names in music, anime and gaming. A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert and virtual pop star Hatsune Miku are among the headline collaborations in Fortnite Treasure Hunters, a pirate-themed adventure that launched on 1 November 2026.

The new season also features Japanese virtual singer Kasane Teto and a major crossover with the popular anime series One Piece.

With exclusive character outfits, themed locations, new weapons and musical collaborations, Fortnite is continuing to bring music and gaming closer together.

Here’s everything you need to know about the new Fortnite season, including when the artists’ skins will be available.

What is Fortnite Treasure Hunters?

Fortnite Treasure Hunters is a new mini-season that launched on 1 November 2026, introducing a pirate-themed Battle Royale experience.

Developed by Epic Games, the update takes players to Crossbones Isle, a new island designed for 80-player matches.

The season features hidden treasures, pirate ships, new weapons and locations inspired by One Piece.

However, one of the biggest attractions is the impressive selection of musicians joining the game.

A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert, Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto will feature throughout November, with new captains and their crews arriving on the island as the season progresses.

A$AP Rocky brings his music and pirate ship to Fortnite

American rapper A$AP Rocky is one of the headline stars of Fortnite Treasure Hunters.

The artist has received his own battleship location, named the $.$. Rocky, where players can encounter him during Battle Royale matches.

The collaboration also features music from the rapper, including his track GRIM, while his song Helicopter accompanies an in-game boss battle.

Rocky’s appearance takes inspiration from his distinctive fashion and artistic style, with several cosmetic items connected to his music.

His Fortnite collection includes the Rocky Rugahand and Shirthead Flacko outfits, alongside accessories, emotes and music-related content.

Players can also access Jam Tracks featuring songs such as RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n), Lord Pretty Flacko Jodye 2 (LPFJ2) and GRIM.

A$AP Rocky’s outfits are scheduled to arrive in the Fortnite Item Shop on 5 November 2026 at 7pm Eastern Time, equivalent to midnight on 6 November in the UK.

When is Lil Uzi Vert coming to Fortnite?

Lil Uzi Vert is another major musician joining Fortnite Treasure Hunters.

Known for songs including XO TOUR Llif3 and Just Wanna Rock, the American rapper has developed a distinctive identity across hip-hop, fashion and internet culture.

Epic Games has confirmed that Lil Uzi Vert will arrive in the Fortnite Item Shop on 12 November 2026.

The rapper is also part of the season’s rotating captain system, which introduces new characters and locations as the treasure hunt progresses.

While Lil Uzi Vert’s participation has been confirmed, players should look out for additional announcements about specific music-related features and cosmetic items.

The collaboration represents another example of Fortnite connecting contemporary hip-hop artists with its global gaming audience.

Hatsune Miku returns to Fortnite with a pirate-themed outfit

Japanese virtual singer Hatsune Miku is also making an appearance in Fortnite Treasure Hunters.

The iconic digital performer has become a global music phenomenon, recognised for her turquoise twin-tails, virtual concerts and enormous catalogue of fan-created songs.

For the new Fortnite season, Miku is receiving a pirate-inspired makeover under the name Cap’n Hatsune Miku.

Her new outfit is scheduled to arrive in the Fortnite Item Shop on 14 November 2026.

The collaboration continues Fortnite’s relationship with virtual performers and Japanese music culture.

Unlike traditional musicians, Hatsune Miku is a virtual character powered by singing voice synthesis technology. Producers and songwriters around the world use her voice to create original music.

Her appearance introduces another opportunity for Fortnite players to discover the creative world of virtual singers.

Kasane Teto also joins the Fortnite season

Hatsune Miku isn’t the only virtual singer arriving in Fortnite.

Kasane Teto, another popular Japanese voice-synthesis character, will join the game on 14 November 2026.

Originally created as an April Fools’ character in 2008, Kasane Teto developed into a genuine virtual singing voice with an enthusiastic international fanbase.

Her involvement alongside Hatsune Miku highlights the growing popularity of Japanese virtual music culture outside its traditional audience.

Both characters are expected to be among the most recognisable music-related additions to the season, particularly for fans of Vocaloid-style music and Japanese internet culture.

Fortnite Treasure Hunters skin release dates

Epic Games has confirmed the following Item Shop release schedule for the new season.

Date	Character or collaboration

5 November	A$AP Rocky
7 November	Zoro, Sanji and Chopper Sidekick
12 November	Lil Uzi Vert
13 November	Buggy from One Piece

These are the dates announced by Epic Games for its US schedule. Regional Item Shop times may mean some items appear on the following calendar day elsewhere.

One Piece takes over Fortnite Battle Royale

Alongside the musicians, Fortnite Treasure Hunters features one of the game’s most significant anime collaborations.

One Piece characters are appearing across the season, with players able to explore recognisable locations including Arlong Park and Windmill Village.

The crossover introduces special abilities inspired by the anime, including Luffy’s Gum-Gum Fruit and Zoro’s Three Sword Style.

The new Battle Pass also includes One Piece characters Portgas D. Ace and Nico Robin.

By combining One Piece with music stars such as A$AP Rocky and Hatsune Miku, Fortnite is bringing several major fan communities together within one season.

Why Fortnite is becoming an important platform for music

Fortnite has evolved far beyond its original Battle Royale format.

The game has become a platform where musicians can connect with audiences through virtual performances, licensed songs, playable characters and interactive experiences.

Previous collaborations have helped establish Fortnite as an important space for music discovery and digital entertainment.

The Treasure Hunters season takes that concept further by integrating musicians directly into the game’s world.

A$AP Rocky isn’t simply appearing as a character skin. His collaboration includes a dedicated location, music and gameplay features.

Similarly, the inclusion of Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto demonstrates how virtual performers can exist naturally within interactive digital environments.

For music fans, these collaborations offer new ways to experience their favourite artists beyond traditional streaming services and music videos.

They also demonstrate how the boundaries between music, gaming, fashion and entertainment are becoming increasingly blurred.

When does Fortnite Treasure Hunters end?

Fortnite Treasure Hunters began on 1 November 2026 and is building towards a special Chapter 7 finale event on 5 December 2026.

Throughout November, players can expect additional updates, rotating captains, weapons and themed activities.

Epic Games has scheduled Captain’s Days for 7, 12, 14 and 21 November, following the opening event on 1 November.

The company has also teased a major end-of-chapter event for 5 December, although full details have yet to be announced.

Where can you get the A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert and Hatsune Miku skins?

The featured musicians’ outfits are scheduled to be available through the Fortnite Item Shop on their respective release dates.

A$AP Rocky arrives on 5 November, Lil Uzi Vert on 12 November, and Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto on 14 November.

Players should check the in-game Item Shop for availability, prices and any associated bundles.

Music and gaming continue to come together

Fortnite Treasure Hunters demonstrates just how closely music, gaming and online culture are connected.

Bringing together mainstream hip-hop stars, Japanese virtual singers and characters from one of the world’s biggest anime franchises gives the season an unusually diverse lineup.

For A$AP Rocky and Lil Uzi Vert fans, it’s an opportunity to see their favourite artists represented in an interactive world.

For Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto fans, it’s another major moment for virtual singers in mainstream gaming.

And for Fortnite players, it means a month filled with new characters, music and adventures.

Fortnite Treasure Hunters is available now, with further music collaborations arriving throughout November 2026.
