Fortnite is joining forces with HoYoverse for a crossover that’s already stirring excitement among both communities. Rumors hint at sleek Honkai: Star Rail skins, themed cosmetics, and a release window that might arrive sooner than expected-here’s what’s known so far about this interstellar collaboration.
In a social media post by Epic, it has been revealed that popular gacha RPG, Honkai Star Rail, is all set to join the Fortnite island in an upcoming collab. The info came as a surprise to a lot of players when the teaser revealed what could be one of the best Fortnite collaborations in 2026. Here’s everything we know about the upcoming crossover, including the skins players can expect to see.
When Does the Fortnite Honkai Star Rail Collab Release?
The Fortnite Honkai Star Rail collaboration has no official release date yet. Leaks from reliable sources point to a potential launch in Chapter 6 Season 1, expected around early February 2026, aligning with Fortnite’s seasonal reset. Epic Games and HoYoverse have not confirmed details, so players should monitor official channels for announcements. Past crossovers like Fortnite x Marvel followed similar timelines after initial rumors. Stay tuned for updates as more information emerges.
The Honkai Star Rail skins will release in Fortnite on February 5, 2026. This will be added with the next Fortnite update, v39.40. The update is also set to bring a plethora of balance changes to Chapter 7 Season 1 weapons.
Fortnite Honkai Star Rail Collab Expected Skins and Prices
The Fortnite x Honkai Star Rail collaboration is expected to introduce several fan-favorite characters from HoYoverse’s hit game as playable skins. Leaks suggest that characters like Seele, Dan Heng, and Kafka could appear with detailed designs staying true to their original aesthetics. Each outfit will likely come with themed back blings, pickaxes, and emotes inspired by Astral Express elements. Prices are expected to match standard Fortnite collab ranges, around 1,500-2,000 V-Bucks for individual skins or up to 3,500 V-Bucks for bundles including cosmetics.
The teaser posted by Epic is undoubtedly cryptic, with the post featuring only two swords alongside the caption “Who’s trailblazing their way to Fortnite?” However, fans of the popular gacha RPG will immediately recognise that the swords belong to Kafka and Blade, two of the most beloved Honkai Star Rail characters. Kafka, the Stellaron Hunter, will be the headliner as signified by her signature purple-hued katana. Meanwhile, the second sword is Blade’s shattered, ancient sword, confirming her skin.
As is the case with all collabs, Epic will also add other Honkai Star Rail-themed cosmetics alongside these skins. Players can expect Kafka to come with her own back bling, possibly a holster or a mini-Stellaron. Kafka may even come packaged with a built-in emote based on her “Spirit Whisper” ability. The other expected skin is Blade, who might end up featuring alongside her Fragmented Sword as a pickaxe, and a possible “Mara Struck” reactive style that will activate as she gets more kills.
Much like previous gaming legends skins in Fortnite, the Kafka and Blade skins are expected to be priced around 1,500-1,600 V-Bucks when they release in the Fortnite Item Shop. Additionally, accompanying cosmetics like back blings will cost 500 V-Bucks, while the pickaxes might be priced higher, around 800 V-Bucks.
Are There Any Honkai Star Rail Mythics Coming to Fortnite?
No official Honkai Star Rail mythic items have been announced for Fortnite yet. Epic Games often reserves mythic weapons for major chapter seasons or high-profile collabs, but past crossovers like Marvel and DC stuck to skins and emotes. Fans speculate a Trailblazer or Aeon-themed mythic could arrive with the full collab launch, possibly as a limited-time drop. Keep checking patch notes for updates on any weapon integrations.
No, as of now, Epic has not revealed any information about Honkai Star Rail Mythics being added to the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 loot pool. However, it is possible that Kafka and Blade’s swords, as seen in the teaser, are turned into Mythic weapons when the collab releases. It is possible that these new Mythics are introduced as reskins of the Forsaken Vow Blade or maybe even something new entirely.
Additionally, Epic could also relegate the Honkai Star Rail Mythics to the Blitz Royale mode. This would not only add a fresh vibe to the Blitz Royale mode but could also introduce special quests and rewards exclusive to the Blitz Royale mode, much like the Fortnite Bleach Blitz quests from December 2025.
How much will Kafka and Blade skins cost in V-Bucks
Pricing for the Kafka and Blade skins hasn’t been officially confirmed yet. The collaboration releases on February 5, 2026, with Fortnite’s v39.40 update, so exact V-Bucks costs will appear in the Item Shop then.
Expected Costs
Sources predict Kafka and Blade outfits will cost around 1,500-1,600 V-Bucks each, matching Fortnite’s standard for Gaming Legends collaboration skins. Bundles with matching cosmetics like back blings (around 500 V-Bucks) or pickaxes (around 800 V-Bucks) may offer discounts compared to individual purchases.
Purchase Details
These will rotate in the Item Shop post-launch, with no mini-pass confirmed so far. Epic typically prices similar crossover skins this way to align with past collabs, but check the in-game shop on release for final pricing and any reactive styles or emotes.
What is the exact release date for Honkai Star Rail collab skins
The Fortnite x Honkai: Star Rail collab skins are set to release on February 5, 2026. This date aligns with the v39.40 update during Chapter 7 Season 1, as confirmed by Epic Games’ teaser and multiple reports.
Release Details
Expect the skins, including Kafka and Blade outfits, to appear in the Item Shop after early-morning UTC server downtime on February 5. Epic’s post on January 30, 2026, with crossed swords hinting at these characters, solidifies this timeline as part of the “Gaming Legends” series.
Availability Notes
While no minute-by-minute schedule is out, updates typically go live around 2-4 AM UTC, with shop refreshes shortly after servers return. Check in-game news or official channels that day, as delays could shift it slightly, though sources treat February 5 as firm.
