When Does Treasure Hunters Start?
Treasure Hunters begins on November 1, 2026. The official Fortnite profile now reads "Treasure Hunters 11.1", and the mini-season takes over right after Fortnitemares wraps up on October 31.
Epic has not shared the exact launch time or downtime schedule yet, so keep an eye on the official channels on launch day and update the game as soon as the patch is available.
What the Official Teaser and Key Art Show
Epic revealed Treasure Hunters on October 27 with a short teaser captioned "Tempting, isn't it?", followed by the official key art with the message "Adventure awaits."
The key art shows:
- Luffy throwing a punch at the front of the scene
- Jonesy alongside a crew of Fortnite characters ready for an expedition
- a giant treasure chest overflowing with gold
- the Treasure Hunters logo in both English and Japanese
The teaser builds the whole mini-season around that treasure chest, with players racing toward it, which points to a season focused on hunting down loot across the island.
The One Piece Collaboration
One Piece is the headline collaboration for Treasure Hunters. The trailer shows Luffy using his Gum-Gum Pistol, along with other members of the Straw Hat Pirates, Buggy the Clown and the Going Merry.
The full list of One Piece outfits, their bundles and their Item Shop dates have not been revealed yet. It is also not confirmed whether the cosmetics will all be available on November 1 or released in waves during the mini-season. We will cover every One Piece bundle in detail once Epic reveals them.
