Epic Games has officially confirmed a Kingdom Hearts collaboration for Fortnite, with a September 15 trailer showcasing skins for Sora, Riku, Kairi and Roxas during the Override season. The tie-in adds to a string of gaming crossovers while the season draws mixed reactions and a modest drop in player numbers.
Updated after Fortnite’s Sept 15 official trailer: Riku, Kairi and Roxas are confirmed skins alongside Sora (not merely text teasers). Title now names all four; source_url pointed to @Fortnite trailer post. Wrong: “Epic text teasers also point to Riku, Kairi and Roxas” / “Additional written hints… point to…”. Right: official trailer confirms Sora, Riku, Kairi and Roxas for Override this week.
Corrected overclaim that Epic had fully confirmed Riku, Kairi and Roxas skins (Sora is confirmed; the others are suggested by Epic teasers) and fixed misattribution of the Sora confirmation line to a leaker instead of official Fortnite channels.
Override is currently receiving a cooler reception among fans than the previous season, Runners, which went down as one of the game's best.
A structure currently under construction on the battle royale island bears a striking resemblance to elements from Five Nights at Freddy's, which may tie into that seasonal update.
