Fortnite’s new Chapter 7 Season 4, titled “Override,” launches on August 20 2026 and debuts an 800 V‑Bucks Battle Pass that unlocks eight fresh skins drawn from popular gaming titles.
Override Pass – skin roster
- K1tty W1ns: A playful avatar spinning through a handheld device, light‑hearted and detached from the main conflict.
- Phantom: A military‑veteran look‑alike, potentially tied to forthcoming story elements, reminiscent of Helldivers 2 style.
- Grace Crowne: A covert operator echoing Metal Gear’s personas; dual‑SMG shooter and cyberpunk vibe.
- Geno: A new helmeted build; dark armor distinct from the Ageless version, matching the Over‑rides theme.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Featured in the “Sonic” crossover, likely central to the season’s narrative and linked to a Tails side‑kick.
- Mali: Mortal Kombat‑inspired fighter, appearing in a challenge sequence with Jonesy.
- Wrixel: A Tetris‑style figure with a blocky head, customizable through a million style options announced in early patch notes.
- Bastian: Warrior wielding shield and sword, bearing a resemblance to Link, hinting at Nintendo’s involvement via a recent Lobby Hack code.
Each skin also unlocks complementary cosmetic items, including the Tails sidekick for Sonic fans.
Cost and subscriptions
The Override Battle Pass costs 800 V‑Bucks, approximately $8.99, at launch. Alternatively, the pass is free for subscribers to Fortnite Crew, which costs $11.99 per month and grants extra perks such as V‑Bucks, free skins, and future pass access.
