All Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Collabs Leaked – Kingdom Hearts, Crash Bandicoot, and More

15 August 2026 at 17:43

The Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 key art has reportedly been leaked online. Although many players initially believed the artwork was fake, prominent dataminer HYPEX now says it is likely legitimate. If accurate, the leak reveals every major Fortnite Override collab, including Kingdom Hearts, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Sonic, and more.

A leaked image of the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 key art recently surfaced on social media and reportedly reveals all upcoming Fortnite Override collabs. The artwork features numerous gaming legends, including Crash Bandicoot, Pac-Man, Spyro the Dragon and Megaman.

While the leaked key art initially had many players divided over whether it was real, prominent dataminer HYPEX says it is likely legitimate after an official Fortnite Sonic comic book also surfaced early online. The character’s design in the comics appears to match his appearance in the leaked Override image.

Here is the full list of Fortnite Override collabs coming to Chapter 7 Season 4 according to the leaked key art:

All Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Collabs

  • Sonic, Shadow, Eggman, and Tails
  • Kingdom Hearts (Sora and a Keyblade)
  • Mega Man
  • Pac-Man
  • Persona 5 (Joker)
  • Beyond Good & Evil (Jade)
  • Spyro the Dragon
  • Crash Bandicoot
  • 99 Nights in the Forest (Roblox)
  • Tetris
  • Screamer (Hiroshi Jackson)
  • Street Fighte
  • The Witcher
  • Tomb Raider
  • Halo
  • Honkai: Star Rail

Leaked Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Key Art Is Reportedly Unfinished

One reason some players initially believed the leaked Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 key art was fake is that parts of the artwork appeared unfinished. For example, Pac-Man was missing his eyes. However, it now appears that the image is a WIP, or work-in-progress, version of the season’s key art. It is still unclear how an unfinished image like this could have leaked online in the first place.

Even so, the artwork being incomplete is a bit strange, given that Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 launches in just five days on August 20. Epic Games is also releasing the first official Fortnite Override trailer on August 16, which will likely feature the completed season key art and confirm the upcoming gaming legends crossovers.

Regardless, HYPEX believes the leaked Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 key art is likely real due to the newly discovered Sonic comicbook. Still, players should take the full collab lineup with a major grain of salt until Epic Games officially confirms which characters are coming to the new Fortnite Override season launching later this week.

The first Fortnite Mythic Hour starts today at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET on August 15, 2026. The Power Hour will begin immediately following the Unstable Story Moment Fortnite live event, giving players a reason to remain in the game after the Chapter 7 Season 3 finale concludes.

Epic Games will host two separate Mythic Hours sessions, with each one lasting two hours. The second Fortnite Power Hour today starts at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET, giving players another opportunity to participate later in the evening.

Depending on where you live, the second session may not begin until August 16. To make the schedule easier to follow, we have created two tables below showing the Fortnite Mythic Hours start times for every major region:

All Fortnite Mythic Hours Rewards and Bonuses

Fortnite Mythic Hours Rewards

The Fortnite Power Hour today features boosted Mythic Sprite spawn rates and higher-quality loot across the entire Island. Every player will also begin each match with Seven Sliders and a Self-Revive Device, giving them an immediate traversal advantage.

Extracting a Sprite during Mythic Hours will also fully restore your health and grant the Slap effect. This should make Sprites even more useful during a match, especially when you need to quickly recover after a difficult fight.

Here is everything included in the Fortnite Power Hour today:

  • Everyone starts with Seven Sliders and a Self-Revive Device.
  • Mythic Sprites appear more often, with an extra boost for base Grim and Zero Point Sprites.
  • All locations on the Island offer higher-quality loot.
  • Extracting a Sprite fully heals you and grants the Slap effect.

Mythic Hours also officially kicks off the Fortnite Sprite Spree Week today. That means starting right now, Sprites no longer cut Sprite Dust to resummon. That means if you lose your Sprite in a match, there is no longer a penalty and you can get them back instantly. Campfires also give you double XP!

Which Sprites Are Featured During Fortnite Mythic Hours?

Fortnite Zero Point Sprite Wallpaper 4k

The featured Sprites during Fortnite Mythic Hours are the Grim Sprite and Zero Point Sprite. Although all Mythic Sprites will appear more frequently, these two variants will receive an additional spawn-rate boost during both sessions.

This makes today’s Power Hour one of the best opportunities to find the extremely rare Grim and Zero Point Sprites before Chapter 7 Season 3 ends. Players still missing either one from their collection will have four total hours to track them down across the two Mythic Hours sessions.

The boosted rates also apply to other Mythic Sprites, so you should encounter rare variants more frequently throughout the event.

How Long Does Fortnite Mythic Hours Last?

Each Fortnite Mythic Hour lasts two hours. Epic Games will host two sessions on August 15, giving players four total hours to take advantage of the increased Sprite spawn rates and special gameplay bonuses.

You don’t need to participate in both sessions, but joining each one will give you the best chance of finding the featured Grim and Zero Point Sprites. The second session is also useful for anyone who misses the first Power Hour following the Unstable Story Moment live event.

With Chapter 7 Season 3 coming to an end, Mythic Hours is one of the final major events before Fortnite Override launches on August 20. Between the boosted Mythic Sprite rates, improved loot, and free Self-Revive Devices, players will have plenty of reasons to jump back into the Battle Royale after today’s live event.

Sonic Fortnite Collab Reveals Tails Sidekick for Chapter 7 Season 4

14 August 2026 at 18:16

Epic Games has revealed more details about the Sonic Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 collab, including a Tails Sidekick. Players will be able to get Sonic’s flying fox companion when Fortnite Override launches on August 20.

Tails Sidekick Confirmed for Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4

Epic Games has confirmed that Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 will feature a Sonic Tails Sidekick. The reveal was a bit of a surprise to fans, as a Sonic Fortnite collab had already been announced in a previous Fortnite Override trailer. However, it now appears that the SEGA crossover will be heavily featured throughout the upcoming season.

The new Sonic Fortnite Override teaser released today shows Peely traveling through the Green Hill Zone POI. Classic Sonic music then begins playing before we see Tails’ iconic twin tails spinning as the player flies across the map. It’s currently unclear whether this is a hint at a new Tails item or a Chapter 7 Season 4 traversal mechanic.

However, the official Sonic social media account confirmed that a Tails Sidekick will be featured in the upcoming Fortnite Override season. Here is what the account wrote after the teaser trailer went live: β€œThat’s one trusty Fortnite sidekick… You wanna fly high, Tails?”

As of the time of writing, Sonic skins have not yet been confirmed for Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4. The first Sonic Fortnite teaser appeared to reveal a Spindash or running item that lets players move like Sonic. Today’s trailer also seems to show a Tails hovering or flying ability.

That said, here is everything revealed for the Sonic Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 collab so far:

Based on how Epic Games has been releasing its Fortnite Override teasers, we will likely get another Sonic trailer before Chapter 7 Season 4 launches on August 20. Perhaps the next reveal will finally confirm whether a Sonic skin is also being added to Fortnite.

When Does the Current Fortnite Season End? Chapter 7 Season 4 Downtime Start Time

14 August 2026 at 17:22

The current Fortnite season ends soon, with Chapter 7 Season 3 concluding on August 19 in Pacific Time. Here is when Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 downtime starts and the final deadline to complete your Sprite collection before the current season ends.

When Does Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 End?

The current Fortnite season ends on August 19 at 11:00 PM PT / August 20 at 2:00 AM ET. According to dataminers, this is when Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 Runners will officially conclude and the Battle Royale will go offline for Chapter 7 Season 4 server maintenance.

This means you only have a few days left to finish your Sprite collection. Thankfully, Epic Games is launching the five-day Fortnite Sprite Spree event, which will make it easier to find rare variants before the season ends.

For those who don’t want to miss their last chance to collect all Chapter 7 Season 3 Sprites, we’ve created an easy-to-read table showing when the current Fortnite season ends in every region:

When Does the New Fortnite Season Start?

The Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 release date is Thursday, August 20, 2026. However, at the time of writing, Epic Games has not confirmed exactly when the new season will start.

As mentioned above, Fortnite Override downtime is expected to begin at 2:00 AM ET, but we don’t know how long server maintenance will last. Chapter 7 Season 3 downtime lasted approximately five and a half hours.

Using the same timeframe gives us the following estimated Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 start times:

However, these are only estimates based on the length of previous Fortnite Chapter updates. Server maintenance could be shorter or longer depending on how much time Epic Games needs to launch Chapter 7 Season 4. We will update this article once the official Fortnite Override start time is confirmed.

Persona Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Trailer Reveals Joker Skin

13 August 2026 at 18:23

Epic Games has revealed a Persona Fortnite collab in a new Fortnite Override teaser trailer. The short clip shows Persona 5’s protagonist entering the Battle Royale, confirming that we will be getting a Joker Fortnite skin in Chapter 7 Season 4.

Epic Games has announced that a Persona Fortnite collab is coming to the game soon in a new Override teaser trailer. The short clip shows Persona 5’s protagonist inside the Battle Royale, confirming that we will be getting a Joker Fortnite skin in Chapter 7 Season 4 on August 20.

The Persona Fortnite crossover was revealed through a Fortnite Override ARG that Epic Games recently launched on Discord. Players have had to β€œhack the lobby” by entering various passwords connected to upcoming gaming collaborations. For the Persona 5 teaser, the correct password was β€œTakeYourHeart,” which is a direct reference to the calling cards used by the Phantom Thieves in the Atlus RPG.

Joker’s inclusion also lines up with previous Chapter 7 Season 4 datamine leaks claiming that the Persona 5 protagonist would be joining Fortnite this year. However, the new trailer is the first official look at his upcoming skin in the upcoming Fortnite Override season.

When Is the Persona Fortnite collab release date?

The Persona Fortnite collab release date is August 20, 2026, alongside the launch of Fortnite Override Following the reveal, popular dataminer β€˜SamLeakssβ€˜ confirmed that that the Joker Skin will be included in the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass. Although at the time of writing, Epic Games has not officially announced this.

It’s also currently unclear whether the crossover will feature other Phantom Thieves or additional Persona 5 cosmetics. Characters such as Morgana, Ann Takamaki, and Ryuji Sakamoto would all make sense as a Fortnite Item shop bundle, but Joker is the only character confirmed for the battle royale so far.

Epic Games is revealing a different gaming collaboration every day in the lead-up to Fortnite Override. So far Sonic, 99 Nights in the Forest, Tetris and now Persona have been confirmed for Chapter 7 Season 4 – which is now confirmed to be gaming legends-themed.

For now, players can expect the Joker Fortnite skin to arrive when Chapter 7 Season 4 launches on August 20. Epic Games will also likely reveal the full Persona Fortnite cosmetic set before the new season goes live.

The event kicks off with Mythic Sprite Hours on August 15 before featuring a different Fortnite Sprite variant every day through August 19. Here is the full Fortnite Sprite Spree Week schedule and when every Sprite Hour starts in your region.

Fortnite Sprite Spree Week kicks off with Mythic Sprite Hours on Saturday, August 15. Unlike the rest of the event, Mythic Hours will be split into two separate two-hour sessions featuring increased spawn rates for the rare Zero Point and Grim Sprites.

The rest of Sprite Spree Week runs continuously from August 16 through August 19, with each day focusing on a different Sprite variant for 24 hours. For example, Galaxy Hours starts on August 16 before being replaced by Holo Hours the following day.

During Sprite Spree Week, Sprites will no longer cost Sprite Dust to resummon, Campfires will grant boosted XP, Sprites will level up twice as fast, and players can earn Lucky Locators. Here is a quick overview of the complete Fortnite Sprite Spree Week schedule:

DateSprite EventDuration
August 15Mythic HoursTwo separate two-hour sessions

August 17Holo Hours24 hours

Epic Games is hosting Sprite Spree Week to help players complete their Sprite Collections before Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 ends on August 19. So, if you are still missing rare Galaxy, Holofoil, Cube, or Gem Sprites, this will be one of your best opportunities to find them.

That said, keeping track of the busy schedule can be confusing, especially since each event starts on a different date in some regions. For your convenience, we have created easy-to-read tables outlining when every Fortnite Sprite Spree event starts and ends worldwide.

How Long Does Fortnite Sprite Spree Week Last?

Fortnite Sprite Spree Week Schedule
Screenshot: Epic Games

Fortnite Sprite Spree Week lasts five days, beginning with Mythic Sprite Hours on August 15 and ending with Gem Hours on August 20 at 6 AM PT. However, Mythic Hours is the only event that won’t remain active for an entire day. Instead, Epic Games will host two separate Mythic Sprite Hour sessions on August 15.

Galaxy, Holofoil, Cube, and Gem Hours will each last 24 hours, giving players considerably more time to hunt down the variants missing from their collections. Each event immediately leads into the next one, so the featured Sprite variant will change every day at 6 AM PT.

Sprite Collections Will Carry Over to Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4

Although Chapter 7 Season 3 ends on August 19, players won’t lose their current Sprite Collections when the new season begins. Epic Games has confirmed that collected Sprites will carry over to Chapter 7 Season 4 alongside the new Sprite Garden feature.

Sprite Spree Week is therefore a final catch-up event rather than the last opportunity to use your collection. With Galaxy, Holofoil, Cube, and Gem variants receiving their own 24-hour events, players should have a much better chance of filling the remaining gaps before Fortnite Override launches on August 20.

When Is the Fortnite Live Event? Unstable Story Moment Start Times for August 15

12 August 2026 at 17:25

The Fortnite Unstable Story Moment event will go live on August 15, which is a finale to Chapter 7 Season 3. Here is when the Fortnite live event starts in every region and what players can expect from the story experience.

Fortnite Unstable Story Moment Start Time Explained

The Unstable Story Moment Fortnite live event is on Saturday, August 15, and starts at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET. The live experience will largely serve as a finale to Chapter 7 Season 3 and will set up the game’s story for the Fortnite Override season, which goes live five days later on August 20.

However, the Fortnite Unstable Story Moment experience has multiple events that day, including a lobby queue. Epic Games will also host two Mythic Sprite Hours on August 15, after the live event. During these limited-time Power Hours, some of the game’s rarest Sprites, such as the Zero Point Sprite and Grim Sprite, will appear across the map.

As a result, trying to figure out when to log in based on your region can be a bit confusing. For your convenience, we have created easy-to-read tables below that list when the Fortnite live event starts on August 15:

According to datamine leaks, the Fortnite Unstable Story Moment will only last around three minutes. So, don’t expect it to be a massive story experience like Fortnite Shattered was in Chapter 7 Season 2. Instead, the Fortnite Unstable live event will largely bridge the story from Chapter 7 Season 3 to the Fortnite Override season.

Leaks have also revealed that the Fortnite Unstable Story Moment will feature posters of Sonic and other gaming legends. The story experience will reportedly tease the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 collabs that will be heavily featured next season.
