Disney Villains Invade Fortnite Ahead of Fortnitemares 2026
Maleficent, Captain Hook, and Cruella de Vil have arrived in Fortnite. Here is a breakdown of their skins, prices, and cosmetics.
Epic Games is bringing some classic animated evil to the Battle Royale island. Just in time for the highly anticipated Fortnitemares 2026 event, the Fortnite Item Shop has officially welcomed three of Disney’s most iconic antagonists: Maleficent, Captain Hook, and Cruella de Vil. Rumors of this collaboration have circulated for months, but the actual release has still managed to spark a frenzy among casual players and hardcore Disney collectors alike.
This drop marks another massive step in Epic Games’ ongoing partnership with Disney, following the entertainment giant’s massive $1.5 billion investment in the game developer. While players have previously run around the map as Marvel heroes and Star Wars troopers, this is the first time classic animated villains have taken center stage in such a major way. They arrive with a full suite of cosmetic accessories, including custom pickaxes, back blings, and emotes that perfectly capture their wicked personalities.
The Mistress of All Evil Takes Flight
Maleficent is undoubtedly the centerpiece of this spooky crossover. The dark fairy from Sleeping Beauty is rendered in her classic, imposing animated form, sporting her iconic horned headdress and flowing black-and-purple robes. Epic did not skimp on her details. Her skin comes with a built-in transformation emote that lets players channel her draconic fury, complete with green flames flickering around her boots.
Her accompanying cosmetics are just as impressive. Players can equip Diablo, her loyal raven, as a shoulder-mounted back bling. Her pickaxe is modeled after her signature golden staff, which glows with dark magic whenever you harvest materials. For a glider, players can summon her massive dragon form, which breathes green fire as it descends toward the island.
The Codfish Himself: Captain Hook
Next up is the notorious pirate of Neverland. Captain Hook brings a theatrical flair to the chaotic island. Dressed in his elegant crimson coat and feathered hat, Hook looks like he stepped straight out of the 1953 animated film. Epic Games preserved his dramatic antics by giving him a unique traversal emote where he frantically flees from an imaginary ticking crocodile.
For his gear, Hook features a dual-wield option. Players can use his iconic hook hand as a harvesting tool, paired with an elegant pirate rapier. His back bling is a wooden treasure chest spilling over with stolen Neverland gold, and his glider is a miniature, flying version of the Jolly Roger ship. It is a nostalgic, beautifully animated set that fits perfectly into Fortnite’s aesthetic.
Fashion, But Make It Wicked: Cruella de Vil
Rounding out the trio is London’s premier fashion terror, Cruella de Vil. Sporting her signature half-black, half-white hairstyle and an oversized fur coat, Cruella is easily the most stylish figure on the battlefield. Her look is heavily inspired by her classic animated appearance, complete with her long green cigarette holder, which Epic has cleverly repurposed as a stylish wand-like harvesting tool.
Her back bling is a high-fashion luggage bag packed with stolen fabrics, while her glider is a chaotic, smoke-spewing classic coupe car modeled after her wild driving in the original film. Cruella’s emote allows her to dramatically throw a tantrum, stomping her feet and throwing her coat around in a fit of rage. It is a hilarious addition that is bound to be used plenty in lobby screens and after securing Victory Royales.
Pricing and Bundle Details
As with most major Fortnite collaborations, players can purchase these cosmetics individually or in bulk. Here is how the V-Bucks pricing breaks down in the shop:
- Individual Outfits: Each villain skin costs 1,500 V-Bucks and includes their signature back bling.
- Disney Villains Bundle: For 3,800 V-Bucks, players can get all three outfits, their back blings, and their unique emotes.
- Gear Bundle: For 2,000 V-Bucks, players can grab all the pickaxes and gliders associated with the characters.
The timing of this release could not be better. With the spooky season in full swing and Fortnitemares 2026 just around the corner, these skins offer the perfect way to celebrate. Whether you are hunting down opponents in late-game circles or exploring the latest map updates, doing so as a classic Disney villain adds a whole new layer of fun to the game.
The Disney Villains collection is available in the Fortnite Item Shop right now, but it won’t stay there forever. Grab them before they vanish back into the vault.
