Epic Games has confirmed five Captain Days for Fortnite’s upcoming Treasure Hunters season, introducing new weapons, Sprites and map changes throughout November 2026. The events are scheduled for November 1, 7, 12, 14 and 21, alongside One Piece-inspired combat abilities, celebrity captains and recurring weekly activities.
The schedule was detailed in Epic Games’ official October 30 announcement, which outlines the content arriving with the pirate-themed season. Treasure Hunters begins November 1 at 9 AM ET, bringing a new 80-player Battle Royale island called Crossbones Isle and a rotating lineup of captains who introduce their own crews and points of interest.
Captain Days will serve as major content updates during the season. Each event introduces additional weapons, Sprites and other changes to the Battle Royale map, giving players new equipment and locations to explore as the season progresses.
The first Captain Day coincides with the November 1 launch, followed by updates on November 7, 12, 14 and 21. Epic has confirmed the dates but has not published a complete weapon-by-weapon breakdown for each event.
One Piece plays a central role in the season’s combat system. Players can use Luffy’s Gum-Gum Fruit abilities and Zoro’s Three Sword Style, bringing attacks inspired by the anime and manga into Fortnite’s Battle Royale gameplay. The broader crossover also features Ace’s Flame-Flame Fruit and Usopp’s slingshot among its themed equipment.
These abilities accompany the new pirate-themed island, which includes recognizable One Piece locations such as Arlong Park and Windmill Village. Players can also use cannons to launch themselves across Crossbones Isle, adding another movement option during matches.
A$AP Rocky joins the initial captain lineup with a battleship point of interest named the $.$. Rocky. Players can board the vessel and use A$AP Rocky’s Shock Rocket to attack opponents from above.
The season begins with the Straw Hat Pirates and A$AP Rocky, while Lil Uzi Vert, Cap’n Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto are scheduled to join the rotating captain lineup later in November. Each captain brings a crew and a dedicated location, expanding the island’s themed content over time.
Epic is also introducing two recurring activities called Mastery Mondays and Treasure Hours Sundays. These events will provide access to captain weapons at the beginning of matches, increased item drops and additional gameplay bonuses throughout the season.
Treasure hunting forms another part of the new gameplay loop. Hidden loot will be scattered across the island, including a mysterious mega chest belonging to Captain X. Epic has teased the chest’s contents without revealing exactly what players will find inside.
The Treasure Hunters Battle Pass includes Portgas D. Ace and Nico Robin, alongside anime-inspired versions of Jonesy, Cuddle Team Leader and Charlotte. Players who gift the Battle Pass to a friend will also receive a bonus Dark Kawaii Team Leader outfit style, with the recipient receiving the bonus as well.
Several additional characters have confirmed Item Shop release dates. Luffy, Nami and Usopp arrive November 1, followed by A$AP Rocky on November 5 at 7 PM ET. Zoro, Sanji and the Chopper Sidekick become available November 7, Lil Uzi Vert arrives November 12, and Buggy follows November 13. Kasane Teto and Cap’n Hatsune Miku are scheduled for November 14.
The Battle Royale crossover arrives alongside a separate Rocket League One Piece event running from November 1 through November 23, extending the collaboration beyond Fortnite.
Epic has also confirmed that Fortnite Chapter 7 will conclude with an in-game event on Saturday, December 5. The developer has not disclosed the event’s full details, although its announcement suggests that time will play a role in the finale.
With five scheduled Captain Days, recurring weekly activities and additional character releases, Treasure Hunters will continue introducing content beyond its November 1 launch rather than delivering all its gameplay additions on the first day.
