Fortnite’s Override trailer dropped on August 16, 2026, officially confirming Chapter 7 Season 4 ahead of its August 20, 2026 launch. The reveal locked in the season’s Gaming Legends theme and named the first two Battle Pass skins, though Epic still hasn’t published the full tier list. For a rundown of the official Override announcement, the season brings the biggest crossover lineup Fortnite has attempted in one go.
Override leans hard into retro and modern gaming icons. Sonic the Hedgehog headlines the crossover push, Geno returns as a villain allied with Dr. Eggman, and Epic has teased tie-ins spanning Tetris, Mega Man, Persona 5, and several more franchises across the Item Shop. The season also brings 99 Nights in the Forest content into the mix, adding to an already dense crossover slate. That scale is why the pass is drawing attention well before launch, and why so much of the lineup is still filtering out through leaks rather than official confirmation.
Below is everything Epic has confirmed so far, clearly separated from what’s still unverified. This page will get updated once the full Battle Pass ships on August 20.
What is the Override Battle Pass?
- Theme: Gaming Legends
- Launch date: August 20, 2026
- Price: 800 V-Bucks (Fortnite’s standard rate since March 19, 2026), unless Epic sets a different price for this pass
- End date: Not yet confirmed
- Confirmed skins: 2 named, with additional unnamed original skins expected
Epic hasn’t confirmed whether Override changes the standard pricing structure. Battle passes have cost 800 V-Bucks and refunded 800 V-Bucks on completion since Epic’s March 2026 price update, so that’s the rate to expect at launch.
Confirmed Fortnite Override Battle Pass Skins
Only two Battle Pass skins are officially confirmed as of this writing. Epic’s trailer named them directly; everything else attached to Override so far is Item Shop content, not a guaranteed pass reward.
1. Sonic the Hedgehog
- Collab: Sega
- Confirmed via: Official Override reveal trailer
- Notes: Sonic anchors the season’s marketing and ships alongside a Green Hill Zone-inspired POI and a Spin Dash mobility item.
2. Tetris-inspired skin
- Collab: Tetris
- Confirmed via: Official Override reveal trailer
- Notes: A pixel-block aesthetic tied to the classic 1984 puzzle game. Exact tier placement hasn’t been published.
Multiple outlets report the pass includes additional original skins beyond these two, tied to gaming archetypes like a fighter, a kart racer, and a soldier. None of those have confirmed names or tier numbers yet, so treat any specific list circulating online as unverified until Epic’s patch notes go live on August 20.
Item Shop Collab Skins Coming This Season (Not Battle Pass Tiers)
These characters are tied to Override’s Gaming Legends theme but are expected as separate Item Shop releases across the season, not guaranteed Battle Pass unlocks.
| Character | Franchise |
|---|---|
| Dr. Eggman | Sonic the Hedgehog |
| Shadow | Sonic the Hedgehog |
| Tails | Sonic the Hedgehog |
| Mega Man | Mega Man |
| Joker | Persona 5 |
| Crash Bandicoot | Crash Bandicoot |
| Master Chief | Halo |
| Geralt | The Witcher |
| Lara Croft | Tomb Raider |
| V | Cyberpunk 2077 |
Reports on a Kingdom Hearts collab conflict. Some pre-trailer leaks listed Sora, Riku, and Mickey Mouse, but the official reveal didn’t include them, so that crossover looks unlikely for launch. Persona 5’s Joker follows Fortnite’s pattern of adding anime-adjacent skins to its collab rotation.
New Weapons, POIs, and Sprites in Override
Override adds gameplay elements tied to the Gaming Legends theme:
- Weapons: 8-bit Shotgun, Mega Man Mythic weapon, Arasaka HJSH-18 Masamune SMG, TKI-20 Shingen SMG
- POIs: A central spire structure replacing Zero Point, plus Cartridge, Geno, Pac-Man, Sonic, and Temple locations
- Sprites: Killswitch, Sonic, Tails, Jazz Jackrabbit, and Klombo sprites join the existing sprite pool from Chapter 7 Season 3
Match Hacks, triggered by cartridges scattered across the map, are also confirmed as a new mechanic for the season.
Final Thoughts
Override is shaping up as Fortnite’s most collab-dense season yet, but most of that lineup still isn’t locked to specific Battle Pass tiers. Epic typically finalizes the full pass and patch notes right at launch, so expect the remaining skin names, tier order, and exact end date to land on August 20.
