Fortnite’s Treasure Hunters season brings One Piece powers and a new island on 1 November. Epic lists the first Captain’s Day alongside the season start at 9am Eastern Time: 16:00 SAST on Sunday.

For South African squads planning an afternoon session, treat that as Epic’s announced timing rather than a promise that queues or downloads will be finished. Check the game’s status before settling in.

One Piece powers on an 80-player island

Crossbones Isle supports 80 players and includes Arlong Park and Windmill Village. The Gum-Gum Fruit and Zoro’s Three Sword Style join the action, while cannons provide another way to travel.

Ace and Robin are in the pass; Luffy is in the Shop

Portgas D. Ace and Nico Robin feature in the Battle Pass. Luffy, Nami and Usopp arrive separately in the Shop at launch; Zoro, Sanji and the Chopper Sidekick follow on 7 November.

That split matters before spending: buying a pass should not be confused with getting every advertised crossover outfit. Check the exact contents and the price shown on your own account before purchasing. We have not verified a South African rand price for these items.

Watch the official gameplay trailer

Watch Epic’s official Fortnite Treasure Hunters gameplay trailer on YouTube. The embedded player loaded but did not advance during our preview check, so we are linking to the official video instead.

Epic also flags 5 December for Chapter 7’s end event. Its announcement points players to the competitive site for One Piece cup details, rather than providing an entry schedule here.
