Epic Games Teases First HoYoverse Crossover: Fortnite x Honkai: Star Rail

Epic Games has officially sparked excitement across two massive fandoms by teasing a collaboration between Fortnite and the hit gacha RPG Honkai: Star Rail. In a cryptic social media post shared on January 30, 2026, the official Epic Games account featured an image of two swords planted in the ground under a starlit sky with the caption: “Who’s trailblazing their way to Fortnite?” Fans of the HoYoverse title immediately recognized the weapons as belonging to two of the game’s most iconic “Stellaron Hunters”: the refined red katana of Kafka and the shattered, ancient Shard Sword of Blade. This marks the first major partnership between Epic Games and HoYoverse, signaling a new era for the “Gaming Legends” series in Fortnite.

Release Date and Expected Cosmetics

While official details are still unfolding, reports and reliable leakers indicate that the collaboration is set to launch on February 5, 2026, coinciding with the Fortnite v39.40 update. The crossover is expected to feature high-fidelity skins for both Kafka and Blade, likely priced between 1,500 and 1,600 V-Bucks each. Beyond the outfits, players can look forward to themed cosmetics including:

Signature Harvesting Tools: Blade’s Fragmented Sword and Kafka’s Katana as pickaxes.
Reactive Styles: Speculation suggests a “Mara-Struck” reactive style for Blade that evolves with eliminations.
Built-in Emotes: Fans are hoping for a “Spirit Whisper” emote for Kafka, reflecting her unique in-game ability.

A Massive Year for Fortnite Collaborations

The Honkai: Star Rail announcement comes as part of Epic Games’ ambitious 2026 roadmap, which reportedly aims to introduce over 100 “Gaming Legends” skins throughout the year. This crossover follows recent rumors and teases for other major properties, including Masters of the Universe and Solo Leveling. By integrating characters from the “gachaverse,” Fortnite continues to expand its reach into diverse gaming subcultures. As Chapter 7 Season 1 progresses, the addition of the Stellaron Hunters is poised to be one of the most successful aesthetic fits for the game’s increasingly stylized and futuristic direction.
