What to expect from the Fortnite Chapter 7 mini season
The Fortnite Chapter 7 mini season is pirate-themed, with different crews coming to invade the island. The Strawhat Pirates from One Piece are making their debuts, with some characters locked behind the battle pass and others available in the shop. Iconic Vocaloid Kasane Teto is also making her debut in Fortnite, finally, alongside a new pirate version of Miku.
There’ll be several One Piece POIs, like Loguetown and Arlong Park, alongside a Gum Gum Fruit mythic that’ll allow you to streeeeetch and punch your enemies. As the season goes on, there will be Mastery Mondays, Treasure Hours Sundays, and “Captain’s Days,” which will bring along new weapons and Sprites.
As this season is a mini season, it’ll be shorter than usual, so make sure to jump in on the action while you can.
