Fortnite Treasure Hunters Mini-Season Starts November 1 With One Piece Collab

Fortnite's pirate-themed mini-season, Treasure Hunters, will launch on Sunday, November 1, 2026, Epic Games confirmed.

The start coincides with the end of the current Override season and the Fortnitemares 2026 event.

While an exact start time is unconfirmed, downtime is expected to begin at 2 AM ET on November 1, based on previous season launches.

Servers are typically offline for four to five hours, meaning players will likely be able to jump in between 6 AM and 7 AM ET.

The mini-season was confirmed alongside a major collaboration with One Piece, revealed in a cinematic teaser on October 24 that showed the Straw Hat crew's ship, the Going Merry.

"The wait is over," Epic Games said in its announcement.

Leaks point to a staged rollout of One Piece content, with a datamined file referencing a Monkey D. Luffy skin and leakers reporting that Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji could arrive in a first wave.

Wanted posters spotted in London also appear to feature Portgas D. Ace and Monkey D. Luffy alongside Fortnite original characters Jonesy and Hope.

One Piece is not the only collaboration featured in Treasure Hunters.

The mini-season will also include A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert, Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto, and a crew of Fortnite original characters, with one final crew still a mystery.

A$AP Rocky and Lil Uzi Vert are expected to join the Icon Series with skins and Jam Tracks.

Epic Games has not confirmed whether all collab content will be available on November 1 or arrive later in the mini-season.

The structure is similar to last year's Simpsons mini-season, which also started on November 1 and lasted four weeks.

Leakers expect Treasure Hunters to run for exactly one month, concluding on December 1 when Fortnite Chapter 8 is set to begin.

The official Battle Pass page lists November 1 as the end date for Override in Eastern Time.

Override effectively ends when the downtime begins, and any unclaimed Battle Pass rewards will be delivered automatically the next time players log in, Epic Games confirmed.

Sprite Dust, Gizmos, and Lucky Locators will reset to zero, however, so players are advised to use them before the servers go offline.

Epic Games has not revealed the Treasure Hunters Battle Pass yet, but billboards in Madrid and Tokyo show anime-style versions of Jonesy, Hope, Evie, and Syd, which could be part of it.

Sprites are expected to remain in the game, as Epic teased Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto as Sprites in the Treasure Hunters reveal.

The Final Spritemare event, which boosts rare Sprite drops, wraps up on October 31.

Before the downtime begins, players can still unlock free skins available this season and use XP maps to complete the current Battle Pass.

The Fortnite Status account on X usually shares updates while the servers are offline.
