Fortnite players, get ready for July 19, as this marks the highly anticipated launch of the Pirates of the Caribbean crossover. Fortnite has a history of exciting crossovers, often with Disney-owned properties such as Marvel and Star Wars.
Now, the beloved Pirates of the Caribbean franchise joins the lineup, with rumors earlier this year hinting at appearances from the iconic Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew in Fortnite.
What do we know so far about Fortnite x Pirates of the Caribbean?
The anticipation for the Pirates of the Caribbean crossover in Fortnite initially came from a leaked Fortnite 2024 roadmap, which outlined Epic Games's upcoming plans for their popular online battle royale game.
The leaked document also referenced future collaborations with Metallica, Doctor Doom, Karol G, and Snoop Dogg giving it further credibility.
Following this leak, Epic eventually confirmed that characters from Pirates of the Caribbean, including Jack Sparrow, would be featured in Fortnite as part of the Cursed Sails Pass.
However, due to an unintended release, the crossover content was prematurely made available this past weekend. Shortly after its accidental launch, Epic swiftly removed the content from the game.
According to the FortniteStatus Twitter account, players who bought the Fortnite Cursed Sails pass were only able to access the Captain Jack Sparrow skin during the unintended leak, as progression through the pass was not possible until its official launch on July 19.
Those who unlocked the Jack Sparrow skin while the pass was leaked will retain it, but players who prefer to refund the skin due to the incomplete pass can contact Epic's Player Support Team for assistance.
In addition to Captain Jack Sparrow, Fortnite's upcoming Cursed Sails pass will introduce skins based on Jack's undead appearance from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Players can also look forward to unlocking Jack Sparrow's Compass back bling, Jack Sparrow's Sword pickaxe, three pirate-themed emotes, four Level Up Tokens, and a Banner Icon as part of this exciting crossover event.
