The Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass has been revealed, giving players their first proper look at the skins and rewards coming with Fortnite Override.
Chapter 7 Season 4 begins on August 20, 2026, and the new Fortnite Override Battle Pass puts Sonic the Hedgehog right at the centre of the action. Epic Games has also revealed seven other Battle Pass characters, a Tails Sidekick, new transformation emotes, a highly customizable character and special rewards available during launch week.
Here is everything revealed for the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass so far.
All Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass Skins
The Fortnite Override Battle Pass features eight characters:
| Battle Pass Character | Details |
|---|---|
| Kitty Wins | New Fortnite character |
| Phantom | New Battle Pass outfit |
| Grace Crowne | New Battle Pass outfit |
| Geno | Returning major Fortnite character |
| Sonic the Hedgehog | Sonic collaboration outfit |
| Mali | New Battle Pass outfit |
| Wrixel | New Battle Pass character |
| Bastian | New Battle Pass outfit |
The lineup makes Sonic the Hedgehog the biggest collaboration character included directly in the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass.
Epic’s latest promotional material also confirms something particularly important for players planning to buy the pass: Sonic can be unlocked immediately when picking up the Override Battle Pass.
That means players will not have to wait until the end of their Battle Pass progression before they can start using Sonic in Fortnite.
Sonic Is an Instant Override Battle Pass Unlock
Sonic the Hedgehog is one of the headline additions to Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4, and Epic Games has confirmed that players can instantly unlock Sonic by purchasing the Override Battle Pass.
This is a significant detail following earlier information surrounding Sonic’s position within the Battle Pass progression.
The latest official Fortnite announcement specifically promotes the Override Battle Pass alongside the ability to instantly unlock Sonic, meaning players buying the pass when Chapter 7 Season 4 begins should be able to start playing as the iconic SEGA character immediately.
Sonic isn’t the only part of the collaboration included with the pass either.
Tails Sidekick Is Coming to Fortnite
Tails is officially coming to Fortnite as a Sidekick.
The Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass promotional artwork shows Tails alongside several related cosmetics, including a gadget-style item and additional Sonic-themed rewards.
Sidekicks are companions rather than traditional playable Fortnite outfits, so Tails will accompany players during matches instead of functioning as a standard character skin.
For Sonic fans, this makes the Override Battle Pass considerably larger than a single character collaboration.
Super Sonic Transformation Emote
The Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass also introduces new transformation emotes.
Epic’s promotional artwork shows Sonic transforming into Super Sonic, complete with his familiar golden appearance.
This means players will be able to transform Sonic during gameplay using the associated emote rather than Super Sonic simply being presented as an unrelated character.
More information about exactly how the transformation reward is unlocked should become available once the full Battle Pass progression is accessible.
Wrixel Has Over One Million Customization Combinations
One of the most unusual additions to the Fortnite Override Battle Pass is its customizable character.
The official Battle Pass artwork shows the block-style character Wrixel alongside multiple different appearances and states that there are over one million combinations available.
The examples shown include dramatically different colours and designs, suggesting players will have extensive control over how the character looks.
Exactly which elements can be changed and how additional customization options are unlocked should become clearer when Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 launches.
Fortnite Override Launch Week Bonus
There is another reason players may want to pick up the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass early.
Epic Games has revealed a launch week bonus containing additional cosmetics.
The promotional artwork shows Grace Crowne alongside several items, including additional equipment and cosmetic rewards.
Players planning to purchase the Battle Pass anyway may therefore want to do so during launch week rather than waiting until later in Chapter 7 Season 4.
More details about the exact eligibility period and requirements should be available when Override launches.
Is the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass Included With Fortnite Crew?
Yes. Epic Games’ promotional artwork confirms that the Fortnite Override Battle Pass is also available with Fortnite Crew.
Players with an eligible Fortnite Crew subscription will therefore be able to access the new Battle Pass through their subscription.
When Does the Fortnite Override Battle Pass Release?
The Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass releases alongside Override on Thursday, August 20, 2026.
The new season will replace Chapter 7 Season 3 and introduce a huge collection of gaming collaborations alongside the new Battle Pass.
Fortnite Override has already been revealed as one of the most crossover-heavy seasons in recent memory, but not every character featured in Chapter 7 Season 4 promotional material is necessarily part of the Battle Pass.
For now, the confirmed Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass lineup consists of Kitty Wins, Phantom, Grace Crowne, Geno, Sonic the Hedgehog, Mali, Wrixel and Bastian.
With Sonic available immediately, Tails joining as a Sidekick, Super Sonic transformation cosmetics and a customizable character offering more than one million combinations, the Override Battle Pass is shaping up to be a substantial part of Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4.
