Epic Games has officially confirmed a One Piece collaboration for Fortnite. On October 24, 2026, the official Fortnite account posted three straw hat emojis alongside a short teaser trailer that ends with a Fortnite | One Piece logo. The clip shows the Going Merry, the Straw Hat Pirates' first ship with its distinctive ram's-head figurehead, emerging from moonlit fog and clouds.

The confirmation arrived after years of fan requests and recent leaks. An in-game moment at 2 p.m. ET opened a pirate chest on the map and played the reveal trailer for players online. The figurehead and design match the anime version of the Going Merry rather than the Netflix live-action series, and some reports note Toei Animation copyright on related footage.

The crossover is linked to the upcoming mini-season titled Treasure Hunters – The Greatest Adventure of All Time. Fortnite revealed the mini-season name earlier the same day in a separate teaser that included a November 1, 2026 start date. Treasure Hunters will close out Chapter 7 before the move to Chapter 8. Epic has not yet detailed the full lineup of skins, items, or map changes, but a more complete announcement is expected soon, covering the Battle Pass and official start details.

  • Teaser content: Going Merry sailing through clouds, co-branded logo, and straw hat emojis nodding to Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hats.
  • Timing: Tied to the Treasure Hunters mini-season launching November 1, 2026.
  • Style: Anime-based collaboration rather than the live-action Netflix adaptation.
  • Broader context: Other pirate-themed teases for the mini-season have included references to artists and characters like Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto alongside the One Piece confirmation.

One Piece has long ranked among the most requested anime crossovers for Fortnite, joining previous major collabs with franchises such as Dragon Ball and Naruto. The use of the Going Merry and pirate theme fits the Treasure Hunters mini-season presentation. Players can expect character skins, cosmetics, and themed gameplay elements once the full details drop ahead of the November 1 launch.

The official teaser ends years of speculation and sets the stage for the Straw Hats to sail into the Battle Royale. More information on the exact skins and content is expected in the coming days.
