Epic Games is bringing the dragons, direwolves, and White Walkers of Westeros straight into the battle bus with a major Game of Thrones collaboration hitting Fortnite right as Chapter 7 Season 2 begins. The crossover introduces three of the series’ most unforgettable characters to the ever-expanding item shop, giving players the chance to drop into matches as legends from the Iron Throne era.
The partnership details first emerged from trusted Fortnite leakers who uncovered encrypted cosmetic files and shop preview assets buried in recent game updates. Their findings, widely circulated on social media and dedicated community channels, sparked immediate speculation before Epic officially confirmed the collaboration. Unlike many seasonal offerings, these Game of Thrones outfits will not be part of the Battle Pass; instead, they will be sold individually through the in-game item shop starting Friday, March 20, 2026, shortly after the new season goes live.
What are Game of Thrones Fortnite skins?
The three standout character skins joining the Fortnite roster are:
Daenerys Targaryen
Jon Snow
The Night King
These selections capture the core archetypes that defined Game of Thrones: Daenerys as the exiled queen with unmatched ambition and dragon command, Jon Snow as the honorable yet conflicted warrior raised in the North, and the Night King as the terrifying, ice-bound leader of the undead army. Each skin is expected to include detailed designs faithful to their on-screen appearances, potentially accompanied by matching back bling, pickaxes, gliders, or wraps that evoke key moments from the HBO series—such as dragon scales, Valyrian steel, or frozen weapons.
The timing of this collaboration aligns perfectly with Fortnite’s tradition of blending blockbuster franchises into its colorful, fast-paced world. Previous crossovers have ranged from Marvel superheroes and Star Wars characters to musicians and anime icons, proving the game’s ability to keep its player base engaged through fresh, culturally relevant content. Even years after Game of Thrones concluded its television run, the franchise maintains a massive following, making these skins a smart addition that taps into nostalgia while attracting both longtime fans of the fantasy epic and newer Fortnite players discovering the series for the first time.
This crossover launches alongside Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2, officially named Fortnite: Showdown. The season centers on a high-stakes faction war between two opposing forces—The Foundation and The Ice King—where players must choose a side and fight to tip the balance of power. Matches contribute to a global progress bar, with team victories unlocking exclusive rewards, upgraded cosmetics, and narrative developments. The overarching themes of rivalry, loyalty, and climactic showdowns mirror the intense political and military struggles that made Game of Thrones a global sensation, while giving Fortnite players new layers of strategy, progression, and seasonal storytelling to explore over the coming months.
With these Westerosi arrivals and a faction-driven season in full swing, Fortnite continues to evolve as one of the most dynamic live-service games, constantly refreshing its universe with iconic crossovers and competitive depth that keep millions returning to the island.
