Fortnite Treasure Hunters mini season goes live November 1 after downtime
Servers go down at 2 p.m. in Singapore, Manila and Kuala Lumpur, and the One Piece and Kasane Teto season should arrive around 5 p.m. after maintenance.
Fortnite's Chapter 7 mini season, Treasure Hunters, starts on Sunday, November 1, 2026, once Chapter 7 Season 4 wraps up and Epic Games finishes server maintenance. Downtime begins around 06:00 UTC and is expected to run for about three hours, putting the new season live at roughly 09:00 UTC.
Local times in Southeast Asia
Converted from the UTC schedule:
- Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines (UTC+8): servers go down around 2 p.m., new season live around 5 p.m.
- Thailand, Vietnam and western Indonesia (UTC+7): servers go down around 1 p.m., new season live around 4 p.m.
That makes this a rare Fortnite launch that lands on a weekend afternoon across the region rather than overnight. Maintenance windows can run long or finish early, so the Epic Games status page is the place to watch if you want to drop in the moment the servers return. If you still have Season 4 battle pass rewards to unlock, the hours before downtime are your last chance to grind the XP.
Pirates and One Piece
Treasure Hunters is a pirate-themed season built around rival crews invading the island. The headline crossover is One Piece: the Straw Hat Pirates arrive as skins, with some characters locked to the battle pass and others sold in the Item Shop. The island gets One Piece points of interest including Loguetown and Arlong Park, plus a Gum Gum Fruit mythic that lets you stretch out and punch opponents from range. Fans of the anime's other gaming outings, such as One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4, will recognise the locations.
Music fans get their own crossover. Vocaloid singer Kasane Teto makes her Fortnite debut, alongside a new pirate version of Hatsune Miku.
How the season will roll out
Epic is pacing the season with recurring events: Mastery Mondays, Treasure Hours on Sundays, and Captain's Days that introduce new weapons and Sprites as the weeks go on. As a mini season, Treasure Hunters is shorter than a standard Fortnite season, so battle pass completionists have less time than usual. Expect the next full season to follow once it ends.
