- Epic Games confirmed the Fortnite Honkai Star Rail collab through a post on X.
- The collab will release on February 5, 2026, along with the 39.40 update.
- The teaser hints at Kafka and Blade receiving skins with the collaboration.
Epic Games is doubling down on Fortnite collabs this year, as Chapter 7 Season 1 has already seen a wide range of pop culture brands make their way to the Battle Royale island. Now the devs have revealed plans to bring 100+ gaming legends skins each year, and it seems like the plan is already in motion.
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 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 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, 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.
