Fortnite’s New Gaming Battle Pass Only Has One Gaming Collab

Even if that ends up being the case, it’s very unusual for Epic to promote a new season of Fortnite primarily using collaboration skins that won’t be on the battle pass. The only previous time Epic did something like this was for 2025’s Star Wars mini-season, but that season’s pass still included three Star Wars character skins.

Aside from Sonic himself, the Chapter 7 Season 4 key art includes teases for Dr. Robotnik and Shadow the Hedgehog, Crash Bandicoot, Mega Man, Sora from Kingdom Hearts, Joker from Persona, a deer from a Roblox game, Pac-Man, and Spyro the Dragon. Since Spyro and Pac-Man are likely sidekicks, it’s still possible one or both could be included in the pass. You should expect plenty of other new collabs to pop up as well, especially with Fortnitemares taking place during the season.

All that whining aside, the Chapter 7 Season 4 battle pass still has some real gems on it. Aside from Sonic, the highlights are Wrixel and Mali. Mali is a fighting game character who has a pixelated style that makes her look like she was ripped straight out of Virtua Fighter. And Wrixel is a block person, a la Minecraft or Roblox, who can be customized in the styles for several Fortnite characters, like Jonesy.

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4, dubbed Override, begins on Thursday, August 20.
