Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4, titled Override, launches on August 20, 2026, with a theme celebrating video game history. The new season brings characters and cosmetics inspired by major gaming franchises, including Sonic the Hedgehog, Tetris, Mega Man, Kingdom Hearts, Street Fighter, and The Witcher.
The Battle Pass will feature eight skins, while additional crossover characters will arrive through the Fortnite Item Shop throughout the season. Epic Games is also introducing new Points of Interest (POIs) inspired by classic games, along with a Sonic-themed Mythic item.
Which skins are in the Fortnite Override Battle Pass?
The Fortnite Override Battle Pass includes eight skins. Two are directly tied to well-known gaming franchises — Sonic the Hedgehog and Tetris — while the remaining six are original Fortnite characters inspired by different video game genres.
Sonic the Hedgehog is one of the season's headline characters. The Override trailer revealed a location inspired by Green Hill Zone, complete with Rings scattered throughout the area. Sonic is also connected to the Spin Dash, a Mythic item designed to let players travel across the island at high speed.
Tetris is also part of the Battle Pass. The crossover incorporates visual elements based on the iconic puzzle game's blocks, originally introduced in 1984. Tetris blocks can also be spotted in specific areas of the Fortnite map.

Battle Pass skins can be unlocked as players progress through the pass and reach their corresponding progression milestones.
Which skins are coming to the Fortnite Item Shop?
The Fortnite Override Item Shop will feature multiple collaborations released throughout Chapter 7 Season 4. Availability will depend on the shop rotation, meaning individual characters may only be available for limited periods.
The Sonic crossover includes Dr. Eggman, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Rush, as well as a Tails-themed glider.
Sora from Kingdom Hearts is also set to appear, accompanied by a harvesting tool inspired by the Keyblade.
Several other classic gaming franchises are represented, including Mega Man, Pac-Man, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro the Dragon. Depending on the collaboration, they may appear as characters or supporting cosmetics.
Other confirmed gaming crossovers include Joker from Persona 5, Geralt from The Witcher, Lara Croft from Tomb Raider, and Master Chief from Halo.
Blade and Kafka from Honkai: Star Rail have also been confirmed, alongside Hiroshi Jackson from Screamer and The Deer from 99 Nights in the Forest.
The Street Fighter collaboration will feature new looks as well as returning characters such as Ryu, Blanka, and Chun-Li.
How do you unlock Fortnite Override skins?
To unlock Fortnite Override Battle Pass skins, players will need to purchase the Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass starting August 20, 2026, then progress through its reward tiers.
Players can earn XP by playing matches and completing daily and weekly quests. Each Battle Pass skin will be tied to specific progression milestones.
Characters released through the Fortnite Item Shop, meanwhile, must be purchased when they appear in the shop rotation. Players interested in multiple gaming collaborations will therefore need to keep an eye on Item Shop updates throughout Season 4.
