The Fortnite universe is gearing up for one of its most stylish and action-packed collaborations yet. Earlier this week, Epic Games confirmed that the K-pop Demon Hunters crossover is arriving on October 2. Now we have the full scoop, including gameplay details, creator rules, UEFN updates, and new cosmetic drops that fans are already hyped about.
The collaboration builds on Netflix’s most-watched original film. It introduces fresh gameplay, powerful weapons, and exciting events for the community. You’ll also see new cosmetics, character abilities, and even creative tools for builders. Everything revolves around HUNTR/X/X’s iconic heroes — Rumi, Mira, and Zoey — who are stepping into Fortnite with new energy.
Let’s break everything down in a simple, readable way.
The Crossover Arrives — What’s New?
Fortnite players can jump into the limited-time Demon Rush mode starting October 2. It will run until November 1, perfectly aligned with the spooky season. This mode is a spin-off of Fortnite’s classic Horde Rush experience, but with a K-pop twist and intense demon waves.
You’ll fight alongside the main characters from the film:
- Rumi
- Mira
- Zoey
Each one brings unique abilities to help you survive the demon waves.
Featured Weapons and Buffs
You’ll see signature gear from the film inside the game, including:
- Rumi’s Empowered Sword – A heavy-hitting melee weapon.
- Zoey’s Golden Bubble Shield – A throwable defence that protects teammates.
- Mira’s X-tra Spicy Ramyeon – A blazing-hot consumable with special effects.
Players can also collect perks between Survival Phases, helping them power up and last longer in the chaos.
New Cosmetic Drops
The Fortnite KPop update introduces full KPop Demon Hunters costumes, accessories, and emotes. Fans can grab them directly from the Fortnite Shop. The new pieces come with animated vibes, flashy colours, and film-inspired elements.
Yes, you’ll be able to complete mini-quests from each singer to unlock bonus rewards like Mira’s X-tra Spicy Ramyeon item.
And keeping with Fortnite tradition, the trio has also been transformed into LEGO characters. You’ll find Lego Rumi Fortnite, Lego Mira Fortnite, and Lego Zoey Fortnite ready for brick-style adventures.
Players looking for a stylish option will especially love searching for the K-pop demon hunters costume, a trending cosmetic item that fans are already talking about online.
