Kingdom Hearts Invades Fortnite: What You Need to Know

Did you ever think you'd see Sora fighting alongside Fishstick? Well, dream no more—Kingdom Hearts has officially invaded Fortnite, and there's a ton of stuff to collect.

First up, the iconic Kingdom Key is now a weapon. According to Epic, you can use it to clobber opponents and even call down a shocking bolt of lightning to clear the battlefield. Need a quick heal? Grab a Sea Salt Ice Cream to top up your health and shields before diving back into the fight.

But the real magic happens under the heart-shaped moon on the Fortnite island. That's where you can activate Kingdom Hearts Overrides. The Recovery Override gives you healing orbs whenever you eliminate another player equipped with a weapon. The Level Up Override spawns a Mythic Kingdom Key for each squad member at their current location. Talk about a power-up!

Mark your calendars for the Kingdom Hearts Power Hour on Saturday, September 19. It runs at two different times: 11 AM PT - 1 PM / 2 - 4 PM ET and 6 - 8 PM PT / 9 - 11 PM ET. Don't miss out on the action.

Want to dress like your favorite Kingdom Hearts characters? Starting September 17 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET, you can grab Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Roxas in the Fortnite Shop. Each one comes with its own Back Bling, Pickaxe, and Lego Fortnite style. It's a great way to show off your fandom while battling.

While Kingdom Hearts 4 won't launch until 2027, this crossover helps fill the gap. Plus, it's cathartic to see Kairi get a chance to kick some butt for once. In other news, the game was recently caught up in a massive data breach ahead of KH4's launch. If you're not afraid of spoilers, you can check out the leaked achievements that hint at worlds like Coco and other surprise IPs.
