Sora's Fortnite Debut Reportedly Pushed Back to Later This Month
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Polygon reports that Sora's upcoming Kingdom Hearts crossover in Fortnite has been slightly delayed, with dataminers pointing to a mid-September release.
Polygon reports that the highly anticipated Kingdom Hearts collaboration in Fortnite has hit a last-minute speed bump. Chapter 7 Season 4 has already brought major gaming icons like Sonic the Hedgehog and Crash Bandicoot to the island, and Epic Games previously confirmed that Sora and his iconic Keyblade would join the roster later in the season. Players expected the crossover to arrive with the recent v42.10 update, especially after key promotional art gave fans an exciting first look at the crossover.
However, community dataminers and prominent leakers point out that the release has likely been pushed back. Freshly decrypted game files suggest a weekend launch was originally planned, potentially tied to interchangeable vehicle cosmetics shared with Rocket League. With those files now exposed, players have at least gained an early look at the upcoming customization options coming to both games.
If the current community intelligence holds true, fans will need to wait until the next major update scheduled for Thursday, September 17. While short-term delays are always frustrating for players eager to jump into the next big battle pass drop, the leaked asset previews confirm that Sora, the Keyblade, and a full suite of themed cosmetics are definitely on the way.
