Overview
- The Kingdom Hearts collaboration went live on Thursday, Sept. 17, 2026, with Sora, Kairi, Riku and Roxas outfits appearing in Fortnite’s Item Shop.
- Epic is selling the set in five bundles with a full bundle priced at about 4,500 V‑Bucks and individual character bundles ranging from 1,600 to 1,800 V‑Bucks, while some themed items like the Gummi Ship vehicle and Heartless wheels are sold separately.
- The update adds gameplay items beyond cosmetics: a Mythic Kingdom Key melee weapon, a Sea Salt Ice Cream consumable that restores health and shields, and two island Overrides that spawn healing orbs or a Mythic Key for squads.
- Epic has scheduled two Kingdom Hearts Power Hours for Saturday, Sept. 19 when every player will start matches with a Kingdom Key and Sea Salt Ice Cream, and the update also includes a partial Cyberpunk: Edgerunners drop that lets players obtain Rebecca’s Guns from the Adam Smash boss but not yet buy its cosmetics in the Item Shop.
- The crossover underscores Fortnite’s live‑service strategy of pairing nostalgia licenses owned by Square Enix and Disney with time‑limited mechanics to drive purchases and short‑term engagement for players and creators.
