Epic Games was forced to indirectly confirm that soon Fortnite Battle Royale will welcome Jack Sparrow and other characters from Pirates of the Caribbean with a new crossover event, starting on July 19th.
But let’s go step by step. It all started over the weekend, when Hypex and other well-known leakers in the battle royale scene published the first details and images of the collaboration’s contents online, which include the costumes of Jack Sparrow, Devy Jones, Elizabeth Swann and a series of cosmetic items, including emotes, loading screens, pickaxes and more.
Not only that, the existence of the event was also practically confirmed when Epic Games carelessly put it up for sale the “Cursed Sail” pass ahead of time, with players who purchased it immediately unlocking the skin of the character played by Johnny Depp and previewing the entire content of the pass in question.
A big mistake on Epic’s part
Precisely because of the early sale, the Fortnite support page on so indirectly that this is precisely the date of the beginning of the event.
In short, at this point we just have to wait until next month to discover further details on the crossover between Fortnite and Pirates of the Caribbean, this time officially by Epic Games itself. In the meantime, Fortnite Festival has also started an interesting collaboration, in this case with the famous band Metallica.
