Confirmed Honkai Star Rail characters coming to Fortnite
Known for its richly built universe, strategic turn-based combat, and evolving narrative, Honkai Star Rail has cultivated a massive global player base across multiple platforms since launch.
Praised for its distinctive artistic direction and tone, the game now sees its universe take on a new form through character Outfits in Fortnite.
Two familiar faces from the Stellaron Hunters have been confirmed:
- Kafka
- Blade
Both characters originate from the Stellaron Hunters, a secretive group that operates beyond conventional power structures in Honkai Star Rail’s universe.
Kafka, calm and calculating, hails from a world untouched by fear, moving through the galaxy with an unsettling mix of elegance and danger.
Blade, a silent swordsman bound in crimson bandages, is cursed with immortality — his body endlessly regenerating from wounds that never fully heal. Beneath his restrained demeanor lies a force shaped by pain, memory, and a past that refuses to let go.
All Honkai Star Rail x Fortnite exclusive rewards
The Honkai Star Rail x Fortnite collaboration introduces Kafka and Blade Outfits to the Fortnite Item Shop, both compatible with LEGO Styles.
Players will also be able to obtain additional cosmetic items, including Back Bling and Pickaxes, along with crossover content designed specifically for LEGO Fortnite. The “Stellaron Hunter Kafka” and “Stellaron Hunter Blade” Outfits officially become available on February 26.
During the collaboration period, eligible players who download Honkai Star Rail via the Epic Games Store and complete designated activities will receive the Blade Outfit in Fortnite as a special reward.
In addition to cosmetic content, Fortnite will also launch a brand-new UEFN island as part of the collaboration, alongside a creator-driven tournament designed to connect players and content creators from both communities through interactive gameplay.
