Fortnite Treasure Hunters One Piece Launches Nov 1

Fortnite Treasure Hunters is a One Piece-themed mini-season for Fortnite, and it is live now. The mini-season launched on November 1, 2026 and runs until December 5, 2026, replacing the standard Battle Royale island with a smaller pirate-themed map and adding a new Battle Pass, a staggered One Piece item shop rollout, music collaborations and new weapons. This is the follow-up to the collaboration announcement we covered on October 25: the crossover is no longer coming soon, it is playable today.

Fortnite Treasure Hunters is live: what changes today

Fortnite Treasure Hunters is live from November 1, 2026, and the biggest change players will notice on their first drop is the map. The standard Battle Royale island is gone for the duration of the mini-season, replaced by Crossbones Isle, a smaller island built around a pirate theme. Matches on Crossbones Isle cap at 80 players instead of the usual 100, matching the approach Epic used for last year's Springfield map in the Simpsons mini-season.

Crossbones Isle leans into its One Piece setting. The map carries far more water than the Chapter 7 map did, and its locations draw directly on the series, with Arlong Park and Windmill Village among the named spots. Music collaboration locations sit alongside them: a battleship POI belongs to A$AP Rocky, and Lil Uzi Vert, Kasane Teto and Hatsune Miku are set to get their own locations as the season goes on. The result is a map that mixes the anime crossover with the music crossovers rather than keeping them apart.

Context matters for why Epic went this big. Mini-seasons have become a November tradition since the original Fortnite OG event in Chapter 4, and this year's edition arrives weeks before the launch of GTA 6 in late November. One Piece has been one of the most requested Fortnite collaborations ever, so Epic is throwing serious weight behind a month that would otherwise risk losing players to the biggest release of the year.

Fortnite Treasure Hunters Battle Pass: Robin and Ace headline

The Fortnite Treasure Hunters Battle Pass includes Nico Robin and Portgas D. Ace as its One Piece characters, alongside three anime-themed Fortnite originals. Unlike the Simpsons and Star Wars mini-season passes from 2025, this is not a full collaboration pass: only two of the pass characters come from One Piece, with the rest of the One Piece roster sold separately in the item shop.

The Fortnite originals in the pass include anime makeovers of Jonesy and Syd, plus a rare rework of Charlotte from the Chapter 2 Season 8 Battle Pass. That mix gives pass buyers a blend of new anime-styled originals and two heavyweight One Piece names, while the shop carries the wider Straw Hat crew. Players who want the full One Piece set will need to budget for shop purchases on top of the pass.

Fortnite Treasure Hunters One Piece shop calendar: every date in one place

The Fortnite Treasure Hunters item shop staggers its One Piece releases across three dates, and knowing the calendar now saves players from checking the shop daily. Luffy, Nami and Usopp are available from launch on November 1. Zoro, Sanji and Chopper, with Chopper arriving as a sidekick, drop on November 7. Buggy the Star Clown lands in the shop on November 13. That is the full One Piece shop schedule as published in the October 30 detail roundup, and it is the clearest single reference for the rollout.

Shop date	One Piece arrivals	Music arrivals
November 1 (launch)	Luffy, Nami, Usopp	Battle Pass live; shop music drops start November 5
November 5	None	A$AP Rocky
November 7	Zoro, Sanji, Chopper (sidekick)	None
November 12	None	Lil Uzi Vert
November 13	Buggy the Star Clown	None
November 14	None	Kasane Teto, pirate-themed Hatsune Miku

The music side of the season follows its own calendar. A$AP Rocky hits the shop on November 5, Lil Uzi Vert follows on November 12, and Kasane Teto plus a new pirate-themed Hatsune Miku arrive on November 14. One related change is worth noting: Epic cancelled the music pass that had been scheduled to begin on November 1, just three days before it was due to start, and extended the current Lil Tecca pass for an extra three months instead.

Readers who followed our original announcement post will remember the collaboration was first framed as a November mini-season with a trailer on October 27 and full details on October 30. Our One Piece is coming to Fortnite announcement covers that reveal, and this post picks up where it left off: the season is live, the map is in, and the shop calendar above is what players need now.

What new weapons and items does Fortnite Treasure Hunters add?

Fortnite Treasure Hunters adds One Piece weapons and items including the Gum-Gum Fruit and Zoro's Three Swords style combat, plus new sprites and loot tied to each collaboration. The Gum-Gum Fruit gives players Luffy-style stretchy abilities, while the Three Swords style turns Zoro's fighting method into a usable combat option. A$AP Rocky's Shock Rocket adds a music-collab weapon to the same loot pool.

These items sit inside the normal loot flow of Crossbones Isle matches, so players will find them in chests and floor loot rather than buying them directly. That design keeps the crossover inside the core Battle Royale loop: the map, the weapons and the skins all reinforce each other, instead of the collaboration living only in the shop. Players chasing the Gum-Gum Fruit or the Three Swords should expect competition, since new weapons always draw early-season attention.

When does Fortnite Treasure Hunters end?

Fortnite Treasure Hunters ends on December 5, 2026, when Chapter 7 closes with a major live event. Epic has not yet revealed what the finale event will include, but Chapter finales are traditionally large-scale, one-time spectacles, and this one will close out both the mini-season and the chapter. Players who want the Battle Pass rewards or the shop skins should plan around that date, since mini-season items typically leave the shop when the season ends.

The December 5 date also sets the stakes for the whole month. With GTA 6 launching in late November, Fortnite's November mini-season is a direct play for attention during the busiest window of the year. A One Piece crossover, a new map, a stacked shop calendar and a chapter finale give existing players reasons to stay and lapsed players reasons to return, and the next few weeks will show whether that gamble pays off.
