Captain Jack Sparrow may soon be making an appearance in Fortnite.
In April, the leaked 2024 Fortnite Roadmap was confirmed as real, hinting at several upcoming collaborations in the multiplayer battle royale game. One of these collaborations was with Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Now, new information from reliable Fortnite leaker @HYPEX on X (formerly Twitter) suggests that playtesting for the second update of Season 3 has begun, with the Pirates of the Caribbean x Fortnite collaboration expected to be included in version 30.20.
What Do We Know About Fortnite x Pirates of the Caribbean?
Official details about the collaboration are still scarce, but a previous leak revealed at least one skin that will be added to the game. This skin is none other than Captain Jack Sparrow, the iconic character from the franchise. The leak from January hinted at Jack Sparrow’s inclusion, and this information was shared by Nick Baker during an episode of the XboxEra Podcast. While Baker initially believed the addition might take some time, it seems that Jack Sparrow will be arriving in Fortnite Season 3 relatively quickly.
What Else Could We See in Fortnite x Pirates of the Caribbean?
If Captain Jack Sparrow becomes available as an outfit, players can expect a bundle in the shop that includes a weapon and emote. While Jack Sparrow is a natural choice for this collaboration, other characters like William Turner and Elizabeth Swann could also make an appearance. Personally, many fans would love to see Davy Jones in Fortnite due to his timeless character design.
Similar to previous Disney collaborations, players may need to spend a significant amount of V-Bucks to acquire the entire Pirates of the Caribbean line, as seen with the recent Star Wars collaboration.
