Fortnite x Pirates of the Caribbean Collaboration Leaks
The winds of change seem to be blowing in favor of a Pirates of the Caribbean crossover. Leaks from January suggested Captain Jack Sparrow himself would be making a grand entrance into Fortnite. Additionally, the leaked 2024 Fortnite roadmap, which was seemingly confirmed in April, hinted at a collaboration around this time. While Epic Games hasn’t officially confirmed it yet, the lack of denial speaks volumes.
Release Date
Mark your calendars, buccaneers! The Fortnite Pirates of the Caribbean event kicks off on Friday, July 19th, 2024. This date is confirmed thanks to the early release of the Cursed Sails pass, which grants players access to the iconic Captain Jack Sparrow skin.
What to Expect
The most anticipated booty, of course, is Captain Jack Sparrow himself as a playable character skin. We might also see outfits based on other iconic characters from the franchise, like Elizabeth Swann or Will Turner.
Beyond characters, get ready to plunder some pirate-themed loot! Dataminers have uncovered hints at the return of the Treasure Map and Pirate Cannon items. There’s also speculation about new pirate-themed locations and game modes that could completely transform the Fortnite experience into a high-seas adventure.
One thing’s for certain: with the popularity of both Fortnite and Pirates of the Caribbean, this collaboration has the potential to be a real treasure. Whether you’re a seasoned Fortnite veteran or a newcomer lured in by the call of the Black Pearl, this swashbuckling adventure promises to be epic. So, keep your eyes peeled on the horizon, mateys, and get ready to set sail for a Fortnite experience unlike any other!
