Epic Games has sent shockwaves through the gaming community by teasing a massive crossover with Honkai Star Rail. This partnership marks a historic moment for Fortnite as it finally brings the highly requested gacha aesthetic to the Battle Bus. While fans have been speculating for months, recent teasers and official announcements have finally given us a glimpse into what’s coming with this collab.
Fortnite x Honkai Star Rail: Release Dates and More
While Epic Games initially kept things mysterious with a post featuring two iconic swords, we now have a clear timeline. The Fortnite x Honkai Star Rail collaboration is officially set to launch on Thursday, February 26, 2026.
The content will arrive as part of the late-season updates for Chapter 7, following the massive Valentine’s Day “Love and Legends” event. It’s expected that the skins will hit the Item Shop during the usual reset time (7 PM ET / 4 PM PT), though players should keep an eye out for a possible “top-up” event that might offer special rewards for those who play both games.
Skins Included in the Honkai Star Rail Fortnite Crossover
This collab features two members from the Stellaron Hunters, the most mysterious group in Honkai Star Rail. Based on official teasers of their weapons, we are getting two major Mythic-tier skins.
The first is Kafka, a fan-favorite who is the star of this crossover. She is expected to wear her famous purple coat and sunglasses, and she will likely come with a Spirit Whisper emote and her purple katana as a pickaxe.
Joining her is the swordsman, Blade. He features his iconic bandaged look and Fragmented Sword weapon. There are even rumors that Blade will have a reactive style that activates Mara-Struck effects.
How to Get a Free Skin
If you download Honkai Star Rail from the Epic Games Store and finish some quick in-game tasks, you can get the Blade skin for free. This is a perfect way to save your V-Bucks for Kafka’s gear.
