Honkai Star Rail x Fortnite Skins Introduced by Epic Games

There has been confirmation that the crossover between HoYoverse’s Honkai: Star Rail and Fortnite is happening. This has been made possible during the Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.0 “No Aha At Full Moon” Special Program. With the Honkai Star Rail x Fortnite skins announced, the next thing that has caught everyone's attention is the implementation of this crossover.

Honkai Star Rail x Fortnite skins announced

For players familiar with the game Honkai Star Rail, this was a hard one to miss. The swords looked similar to the weapons carried by Blade and Kafka, the two key characters among the Stellaron Hunters. Such a strategy was employed in previous Fortnite crossovers, in which players were presented with a clue, albeit a small one, rather than a clear announcement.

Official Announcement During Version 4.0 Livestream

Honkai Star Rail x Fortnite skins announced came during the Honkai Star Rail Version 4.0 livestream, where developers casually mentioned Blade and Kafka would join the ranks of Fortnite Outfits. The timing was somewhat odd, given that the livestream's focal point was upcoming story content for Star Rail rather than external partnerships.

Item Shop Release Date and Schedule

According to the official details, both Outfits will be added to the Fortnite Item Shop on February 26, 2026. This date places the crossover shortly after Fortnite’s v39.50 update, scheduled for February 19, 2026.

The reveal was one of several notable announcements highlighted in the Honkai Star Rail 4.0 Livestream Summary, which covered major updates and surprises shared during the special program.

Expected Cosmetics Beyond the Outfits

The only one that has been officially confirmed so far is the character Outfits. The characters Blade and Kafka have a huge association with their respective weapons. As we saw in previous gaming mashups, Renowned Weapons have been known to influence Pickaxes without major changes. There might also be Styles available in every Outfit, as seen in various scenes in Honkai Star Rail Narrative.

Pricing Estimates and Bundle Possibilities

The collab is likely to come under the Gaming Legends Series category. Under this category, the pricing of individual skins may also be higher compared to other Fortnite skins known as Outfits. The bundle of Blade and Kafka skins and any additional content may cost anywhere between 2,400 V-Bucks and 3,000 V-Bucks.

These reveals arrived alongside other Version 4.0 announcements, including the Honkai Star Rail 4.0 Livestream Codes Revealed, which were shared during the official broadcast.

Fortnite’s Ongoing Crossover Strategy

Fortnite has slowly developed into a space where various gaming worlds intersect. Thus, the integration of Honkai Star Rail characters aligns with past collaborations with RPG and anime-inspired gaming worlds. From a brand partnership aspect, the collaboration would be a new way for HoYoverse to reach users outside of the realm of their primary gaming platform, and for Fortnite, it would be another brand to add characters with a distinct style and backstory to their worlds, such as the Honkai Star Rail x Fortnite skins announcement moment. From a broader perspective, this is a reflection of live-service games becoming more integrated.
