Fortnite will welcome two characters from HoYoverse’s Honkai: Star Rail—Kafka and Blade—in a forthcoming update, Epic confirmed through partner announcements. The move is part of Fortnite’s ongoing push to integrate recognizable faces from other games into its item shop and event lineups.

  • Characters confirmed: Kafka and Blade from Honkai: Star Rail are set to appear as Fortnite cosmetics.
  • Cross-promotion model: Epic has been tying in-game skins to purchases on the Epic Games Store, a strategy that likely underpins this collaboration.
  • Recent precedents: Fortnite recently added characters such as Resident Evil Requiem’s Grace Ashcroft and Crimson Desert’s Kliff as part of similar promotional pushes.
  • Free skin offers: In past promotions, players received skins at no extra cost when they bought participating games through the Epic Games Store—something that could repeat with Honkai: Star Rail.
  • Details pending: Epic hasn’t provided a release date or specifics on bundles, emotes, or additional cosmetic items tied to the drop.
