Davy Jones, Captain Barbossa, and Elizabeth Swann from the Fortnite x Pirates of the Caribbean Collaboration have arrived!
Look out, you land-lovers, because the first characters in the Fortnite x Pirates of the Caribbean Collaboration have arrived. The swashbuckling Captain Jack Sparrow and his “Cursed Sails” event pass are set to make their grand entrance on Friday, July 19th. However, before his arrival, players can now acquire his Pirate allies from the item store. Captain Barbossa, Jack’s treacherous first mate, is leading the charge, wielding cutlasses and muskets in anticipation of thrilling battles. Additionally, Elizabeth Swann, the Governor’s daughter turned Pirate, joins the fray with her quick thinking and a deadly cutlass, ready to make her mark on the map.
Rounding out the collection is the foreboding guardian of the underworld, that infamous Captain of the Flying Dutchman Davy Jones. With a miniature version of the Kraken as a back bling, the mutated half-man, half-octopus brings his quest to transport the dead to the underworld to the “Wrecked” battlefield.
ON STRANGER TIDES
In addition, the first three new characters have also brought an excellent collection of emotes, back bling, and pickaxes. You can buy all three characters together as a set for 3,400 V-Bucks or purchase each character individually at different prices, ranging from 1,500 V-Bucks to 1,600 V-Bucks, with Elizabeth Swann being the most expensive. It’s more cost-effective to buy the bundle, which grants you access to all the cool emotes and accessories.
DAVY JONES
Davy Jones is a notorious villain known throughout the Seven Seas. Once a mere mortal, he now commands the infamous Flying Dutchman and its loyal crew for centuries. With his fearsome appearance, featuring octopus and crab-like attributes, Davy Jones strikes fear into the hearts of all who sail the oceans. His menacing presence would make for a formidable and visually striking character in a Battle Royale game. Despite his formidable appearance, players need not worry about his crustacean features impeding his agility in combat.
Purchasing this set unlocks the character, a LEGO variant, Lil Kraken Back Bling, and Norrington’s Sacrifice Pick Axe. For an additional 500 V-Bucks, Davy’s Pipe Organ emote is also available to round out the set.
ELIZABETH SWANN
In the epic tale of Pirates of the Caribbean, the courageous Elizabeth Swann fearlessly fought for both herself and her beloved despite facing danger from pirates, ghosts, ghouls, and the mighty East India Trading Company. Elizabeth’s distinctive attire is inspired by her appearance at the start of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, and offers players the option to either don her iconic hat or choose to reveal her shimmering golden locks.
Purchasing this set unlocks the character, a LEGO variant, The Dead Man’s Chest Back Bling, and Elizabeth’s Favor Pick Axe – Will Turner’s iconic blade of choice.
CAPTAIN BARBOSSA
Captain Hector Barbossa, a cunning and respected pirate, is revered by his passionate crew for his love and control of the Black Pearl. Although his loyal pet monkey, Jack, is absent, it is always a sight to behold the master Pirate Lord in action.
Purchasing this set unlocks the character, a LEGO variant, and Barbossa’s Sword Pick Axe. As mentioned above, the set feels incomplete without Jack the Monkey as a Back Bling or an Apple Eating emote. But the skin itself more than makes up for any disappointment.
RELEASE
These exciting characters are now up for grabs in the item shop. Although these new additions are now available, the “Cursed Sails” event pass is set to launch on Friday. Fans eagerly awaiting Captain Jack Sparrow will need to exercise a bit more patience. Learn more about the pass and its incredible bounty of goodies here. In the meantime, fans can look forward to immersing themselves in the legendary world of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and embark on thrilling adventures alongside their friends.
The Pirates of the Caribbean x Fortnite event pass starts on July 19th.
