  • Weekly captains rotate: the Straw Hats and A$AP Rocky from November 1, Lil Uzi Vert November 8, Cap’n Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto November 15, Oscar November 22 — Epic’s updated notes moved Captain’s Day to Sundays.

  • No end date for Treasure Hunters and no Chapter 8 date from Epic. The Chapter 7 end event is set for Saturday, December 5.
  • Update v43.10 is live as of November 12: downtime ran as scheduled 9:00–10:30 AM UTC (4:00–5:30 AM ET), with servers back after the morning downtime. Buggy the Clown now bosses Crossbones Isle at Buggy’s Beachhead — defeating him rewards the Special Buggy Ball and the Lever Action Shotgun — and boss weapons are now guaranteed drops. The Kasane Teto Music Pass (1,000 V-Bucks) is live, and Lil Uzi Vert, Buggy and Cap’n Hatsune Miku are in the Item Shop.
  • New Sprite Cursed Kelper is live now and raises the chance of rare Sprite variants; three more Sprites arrive November 15 (Mini Miku, Squiplash and one unrevealed rare tied to Zero Point Dash charges). Cursed Sprites Treasure Hours run Saturday, November 14 at 2:00 PM and 9:00 PM ET; Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto arrive at Friendship Villa Sunday, November 15; Springfield returns to Reload with the Donut Storm; Batman returns to LEGO Fortnite as a nighttime village visitor. The Gold Sprite still arrives November 22.

Crossbones Isle and the 80-player map

Treasure Hunters replaces the Override season with a new island, Crossbones Isle, built for 80-player Battle Royale — down from the usual 100. Eleven points of interest carry the One Piece map: Baratie Bay, Windmill Village, Loguetown, Arlong Park, Plunder Port, Rubber Resort, Fort Fortuna and more, with the Override and Fortnitemares content ending November 1.

Powers and weekly captains

Devil Fruit powers are the season’s new gear: the Gum-Gum Fruit, the Flame-Flame Fruit, Three Sword Style and Usopp’s Slingshot. A weekly captain rotation runs alongside them: the Straw Hats and A$AP Rocky from November 1, Lil Uzi Vert on November 8, Cap’n Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto on November 15, and Oscar on November 22. Epic’s updated notes moved Captain’s Day to Sundays, so check the in-game schedule rather than the first announcement.

Update 43.10 is live: Buggy bosses Crossbones Isle

Update v43.10 is live as of Thursday, November 12 — downtime ran as scheduled, 9:00–10:30 AM UTC (4:00–5:30 AM ET), and servers are back. The headline addition is Buggy the Clown from One Piece, now a boss at Buggy’s Beachhead on Crossbones Isle: defeating him rewards the Special Buggy Ball and the Lever Action Shotgun, and boss weapons are now guaranteed drops. The new Cursed Kelper Sprite is live too, raising the chance of rare Sprite variants. The same day brings the Kasane Teto Music Pass (1,000 V-Bucks) and Lil Uzi Vert, Buggy and Cap’n Hatsune Miku in the Item Shop.

The weekend fills in behind it: Cursed Sprites Treasure Hours on Saturday, November 14, at 2:00 PM and 9:00 PM ET, and Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto at Friendship Villa on Sunday, November 15, alongside a Captain’s Day. Three more Sprites arrive November 15 — Mini Miku, Squiplash and one unrevealed rare tied to Zero Point Dash charges. Springfield returns to Reload with the Donut Storm, and Batman returns to LEGO Fortnite as a nighttime village visitor. The Gold Sprite still arrives November 22, unchanged.

Battle Pass and what is not dated

The Battle Pass costs 800 V-Bucks and includes Ace, Nico Robin, Charlotte, Jonesy, Cuddle Team Leader and Captain X. Epic has announced no end date for Treasure Hunters and no Chapter 8 date — do not plan around one. The one dated event on the calendar is the Chapter 7 end event on Saturday, December 5; Epic has not given an hour for it.

What it means for buyers

The Battle Pass is 800 V-Bucks and the season’s cosmetics are earned while it runs. With no end date announced, there is no deadline to rush against yet — check the in-game timer before buying levels. The Kasane Teto Music Pass is a separate 1,000 V-Bucks purchase, not part of the 800 V-Bucks Battle Pass.
