Kingdom Hearts' Sora Is Joining Fortnite

Epic Games said the crossover will launch later this week, giving players their first look at Sora with a Keyblade pickaxe.

  • Epic Games officially confirmed that Sora, the main character of the Kingdom Hearts franchise, will join Fortnite as a playable skin later this week.
  • Chapter 7 Season 4 has established Fortnite as a video game multiverse, with the Item Shop consistently featuring fan-favorite characters like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro throughout the season.
  • A new teaser trailer revealed Sora wielding a Keyblade pickaxe featuring a Loot Llama charm instead of the traditional Mickey Mouse design, accompanied by quotes from Kingdom Hearts characters Roxas, Kairi, and Riku.
  • Bringing Sora to the game required licensing approval from both Disney and Square Enix, a complex task that contributed to delays after the crossover originally leaked in February.
  • Scheduled for Thursday, September 17, 2026, the Chapter 7 Season 4 v42.20 update is expected to bring the Sora skin, providing significant publicity for Kingdom Hearts IV next year.
