Fortnite hololive Collab and Chapter Seven Season 2
Hoshimachi Suisei Arrives on March 12
Fortnite has officially confirmed a collaboration with hololive’s Hoshimachi Suisei, set to launch this Thursday, March 12, during the game’s Item Shop reset. The announcement was made on March 9 across all of Fortnite’s social media accounts, featuring a promotional image of the VTuber performing on stage.
Nothing has been confirmed as of yet, but fans expect this crossover to follow a similar structure to the Kizuna AI collaboration from January 2026. Many speculate that the collab will include Suisei’s outfit, her "Penlight Mic" as a specialized cosmetic, an emote featuring her viral "Bibbidiba" choreography, and new Fortnite Festival Jam Tracks, with her hit singles "Stellar Stellar" and "Bibbidiba" as likely additions.
Although Epic Games has yet to release an official trailer, the collaboration was first revealed through viral promotional teasers appearing on digital billboards and subway ads across Japan. The clips are widely shared online by fans, as it offers a first look at Hoshimachi Suisei's in-game model and a preview of her signature emote.
New Captain America Skin and More for Season 2
Aside from the Hoshimachi Susei collab, Fortnite is also gearing up for its Chapter 7 Season 2 update titled "Showdown." As announced on March 9, the upcoming season will feature the return of The Ice King, who first appeared in Chapter 1 Season 7 as the antagonist responsible for the "Ice Storm" event.
Another character joining the fray is The Foundation, the leader of The Seven, portrayed and voiced by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The reveal was accompanied by a cinematic teaser trailer that showcased the Ice King stepping off his throne and moving through a frozen chamber.
The footage prominently featured several iconic characters trapped in massive blocks of ice, most notably showcasing a new Marvel’s Captain America skin.
Many fans have noted that this new skin closely resembles Steve Rogers' tactical outfit from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, specifically his look in Captain America: The First Avenger. Other characters highlighted in the video include The Foundation, The Prisoner, and Orelia.
