Overview
- Epic released a cinematic trailer confirming four playable Kingdom Hearts skins—Sora, Kairi, Riku and Roxas—and Keyblade-themed cosmetics.
- Epic confirmed the content will ship with the v42.20 update on Thursday, September 17, 2026, and go live after scheduled downtime or the Item Shop reset.
- The trailer shows in-game touches including Destiny Island visuals and a heart-shaped moon, and Epic swapped Sora’s usual Mickey charm for a Fortnite Loot Llama on the Keyblade.
- Epic plans to add a Kingdom Key Mythic item to the loot pool; the trailer shows Keyblade actions that suggest special effects but Epic has not finalized or fully detailed mechanics or pricing.
- The cross-over follows Fortnite’s pattern of selling licensed characters via the Item Shop, a move that both monetizes the game and gives Kingdom Hearts broad promotion ahead of Kingdom Hearts IV.
