| Author Games & Culture
Fortnite’s next season starts on November 1, 2026, and Epic Games has already named it: Treasure Hunters, a One Piece crossover built around a new 80-player island, a rotating cast of weekly captains and a Chapter 7 finale on December 5. Epic announced the details in a Fortnite news post on October 30, 2026. Everything in the tables below comes from that post unless the text says otherwise.

What Epic confirmed about the Treasure Hunters season
The headline is the collaboration. Players explore a new island, fight with One Piece powers and hunt for mystery loot, and a new captain with their own crew and point of interest (POI) arrives in Battle Royale each week. The Straw Hat Pirates and A$AP Rocky lead off, followed by Lil Uzi Vert, Cap’n Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto. A mega chest belonging to a character called Captain X is the season’s big treasure, and Epic says new treasures are hidden across the island.
| Detail | What Epic says | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Season start | The hunt begins; the first Captain’s Day starts with the season at 9 AM ET | November 1, 2026 |
| New island | Crossbones Isle, an 80-player map reached by launching from a cannon | From launch |
| One Piece locations | Arlong Park and Windmill Village | From launch |
| Luffy power | Gum-Gum Fruit | From launch |
| Zoro power | Three Sword Style | From launch |
| A$AP Rocky POI | The $.$. Rocky battleship, plus the Shock Rocket weapon | From launch, first captain week |
| Chapter 7 end event | Epic asks players to keep the date open | Saturday, December 5, 2026 |
Crossbones Isle and the One Piece powers
Crossbones Isle is described as a new 80-player island. Players climb into a cannon to be launched across it, and the post names two One Piece locations: Arlong Park and Windmill Village. The crossover reaches the gameplay too: as Luffy, players use the Gum-Gum Fruit, and as Zoro they slice through opponents with Three Sword Style. Epic does not say in the post whether these are Mythic-style pickups, boss rewards or limited-time powers, so how they are obtained is still unconfirmed.
A$AP Rocky gets his own location. The $.$. Rocky is a battleship POI, and the Shock Rocket lets a player rain rockets from above. Because each week brings a new captain with a crew and a POI, the map is expected to change as the season goes on. Epic names the order of the first few captains but does not map them to specific weeks; the Item Shop dates in the calendar guide linked below are the best guide to the order.
Battle Pass and Captain’s Days
The new Battle Pass features Portgas D. Ace and Nico Robin, along with new anime looks for Jonesy, Cuddle Team Leader and Charlotte. Gifting the Battle Pass to a friend gives both players a bonus Dark Kawaii Team Leader Outfit style. The post does not list the pass price, the number of pages or the reward order, so those details are not covered here.
| Event | Dates | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Captain’s Day | November 1 (9 AM ET), November 7, 12, 14 and 21 | New Sprites, weapons and other drops on the map |
| Mastery Mondays | Throughout the season | Captain’s weapons at the start of every match, boosted drops |
| Treasure Hours Sundays | Throughout the season | Same type of bonuses, according to Epic’s post |
The Mastery Monday and Treasure Hours Sunday entries are listed by Epic only as running throughout the season, with no start or end dates. For the dated list of when each outfit reaches the Item Shop, see our Fortnite One Piece skins release dates and shop schedule.
What is not confirmed yet
Epic’s post does not give the season a number, and it does not use the term mini-season, which our earlier Chapter 7 Season 4 end date guide had carried over from dataminer schedules. It also does not announce Chapter 8 or a date for it. What it does confirm is that a Chapter 7 end event is set for Saturday, December 5, which makes the Treasure Hunters season the last stretch of the chapter. How the season ends, and what comes after the event, is unannounced.
Competitive details are also pending. Epic says to watch Fortnite.com/competitive for information on One Piece cups, with no dates or formats listed. If you track ranked play, our Fortnite Arena points guide covers the current ranked ladder, and the Chapter 7 reset breakdown explains how the chapter began.
