One such hit franchise isPirates of the Caribbean, and rumors that the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow and friends would soon drop anchor inFortnitebegan circulating earlier this year.
These rumors stemmed from aleakedFortnite2024 roadmapthat detailed Epic’s plans for its hit online battle royale title, which also contained references to Metallica, Doctor Doom, Karol G, and Snoop Dogg. Epic would later confirm that Jack Sparrow and otherPirates of the Caribbeancharacters would be coming toFortniteas part of the Cursed Sails Pass, but due to a slip-up, the crossover content went live prematurely this weekend. It was soon taken down, but players now know when they’ll be able to set sail with the legendary captain for real.
