Epic Games has confirmed that Fortnite Sprites will return in Chapter 7 Season 4 Override. The upcoming season will introduce an entire generation of new Fortnite Sprites to collect with different powers and variants. Players will also be able to interact with their Chapter 7 Season 3 collection through a new feature called the Fortnite Sprite Garden.
Are Sprites Staying in Fortnite Next Season?
Epic Games has confirmed that Sprites are staying in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 in a really big way. In a new statement, the publisher revealed that the upcoming Fortnite Override season will feature an entire new collection of Sprites for players to unlock and master.
“Next season will introduce a whole new generation of Sprites to collect and master—including new powers and variants,” Epic Games confirmed. Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 will also include quality-of-life improvements based on player feedback and new ways to discover Sprites both inside and outside of Battle Royale matches.
Although Epic has not revealed the new powers or variants yet, it appears Sprites will once again be one of the Chapter 7 Season 4’s main features. Players may even be able to collect Sprites they missed from Chapter 7 Season 3. “Sprites from past generations may return down the line, offering another shot to add them to your roster and flex their tiny Sprite muscles in Battle Royale again.”
What Is the Fortnite Sprite Garden?
Epic Games also revealed a new feature called the Fortnite Sprite Garden. Essentially, players will have their own personal island where they can interact with Sprites, visit their friends’ gardens, and display their entire collection.
Here is how Epic Games describes the Fortnite Sprite Garden: “An island getaway where you can play with your Sprites, visit friends’ garden sanctuaries, and showcase your entire collection!”
Every Sprite collected during Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 will immediately be added to your Garden. More importantly, all Sprites unlocked during Chapter 7 Season 3 Runners will also appear there, meaning players will not lose the collection they have spent the season building.
The Sprite Garden was created in collaboration with Fairview Portals and Beyond Creative. Epic says it will reveal more details about how the feature works and evolves over time at a later date.
Do Fortnite Sprites Carry Over to Chapter 7 Season 4?
Your Fortnite Sprites will carry over to Chapter 7 Season 4 through several features. While the new Override season will introduce a different generation of creatures for Battle Royale, all Chapter 7 Season 3 Sprites will remain available in the following ways:
- Displayed and playable inside the Sprite Garden
- Unlocked as styles for the Sprite Mastery Pod Back Bling
- Featured as pilots inside the Guardian Outfit
- Permanently listed on the Sprite Collection page
However, Epic’s wording suggests that Chapter 7 Season 3 Sprites will not initially remain available to use in Battle Royale. The publisher says Sprites from previous generations “may return down the line,” giving players another opportunity to collect and use them in matches.
All New Fortnite Sprites Confirmed for Chapter 7 Season 4
Epic Games has confirmed that the five winners of its Design-A-Sprite contest will be released throughout Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4. However, these community-created Sprites will arrive in mid-season updates instead of being available at launch.
Here is every new Fortnite Sprite currently confirmed for Chapter 7 Season 4:
These are only the five contest winners, so Override should feature several additional Sprites that have not been revealed yet. Epic Games has also confirmed that the new generation will include original powers and variants.
Fortnite Sprite Garden Release Date Explained
The Fortnite Sprite Garden release date is expected to be August 20, 2026, when Chapter 7 Season 4 Override goes live. Epic Games has not explicitly confirmed that the Garden will be available on the first day of the season, but its announcement suggests it will be one of the update’s main features.
Fortnite currently has 118 Sprites available to collect following the August 6 update. Players who have spent Chapter 7 Season 3 completing their collection will thankfully be able to preserve and showcase all of that progress inside the new Sprite Garden.
With a new generation of Sprites, additional powers, quality-of-life improvements, and a permanent place to interact with your collection, Fortnite Override appears to be expanding the feature substantially instead of resetting it. Epic Games says more information about the Sprite Garden will be revealed as the August 20 season approaches.
