‘Honkai: Star Rail‘ has been confirmed to be collaborating with ‘Fortnite.’ This is one of the most unexpected video game collaborations to happen as far as 2026 is concerned. Recently, Epic Games teased their collaboration through a still-shot image using Star Rail-specific verbiage, which has sparked huge amounts of intrigue within both communities, and there has not yet been an official announcement from Epic or HoYoverse regarding their collaboration.
With all this said, however, based on the teaser, speculation continues to grow regarding the characters included, cosmetic items available, and potential release dates. Below you can find every confirmed information about the ‘Honkai Star Rail‘ & ‘Fortnite‘ collaboration, along with what comes next.
‘Honkai Star Rail’ X ‘Fortnite’ Announcement Date And Official Confirmation
Epic Games dropped an image on X on January 30, 2026, teasing people captioned, “Who’s trailblazing their way to Fortnite?” with 2 swords stuck in the ground. The word “trailblazing” is significant to fans of ‘Honkai Star Rail‘ because it is part of the story and overall game identity.

Both of these characters have signature swords in HoYoverse games and have been included as part of the weapon designs depicted in ‘Honkai Star Rail.‘ Unlike other HoYoverse games, 5-star characters in S’tar Rail‘ have been directly linked to specific weapon visuals to help long-time HoYoverse players quickly identify who has the weapon based on their trademark style.
For that reason, right now, Kafka and Blade would appear to be the most likely candidates for Fortnite characters. If Fortnite continues with their normal collaborative content, we should expect to see fully formed character skins, weapon-style pickaxes, themed back blings, and possibly emotes that would match how they fight. With that being said, none of these items have been confirmed at this time.
Expected Release Window And What Is Still Unknown
Epic Games has yet to officially unveil the release date for ‘Honkai Star Rail‘s crossover. The only definitive release timeframe is that it will occur during Fortnite Chapter 7. Historically, Fortnite’s crossover teases occur 1-2 weeks before the actual event.
