Disney Villains Maleficent and Hades Join Fortnite Item Shop
Maleficent, Hades, and Captain Hook have officially arrived in Fortnite for Fortnitemares 2026. Here is a look at the skins, bundles, and pricing.
A Spooky Season Debut for Disney’s Finest
Fortnite’s spooky season just got a massive dose of classic Disney magic—the dark kind. As part of the highly anticipated Fortnitemares 2026 event, Epic Games has officially dropped the Disney Villains set in the Item Shop. Players can now cause absolute chaos across the battle royale island dressed as some of the most iconic antagonists in cinema history: Maleficent, Hades, and Captain Hook.
This launch marks another major milestone in Epic Games’ deep partnership with Disney. Following Disney’s staggering $1.5 billion investment in the developer, fans knew big crossovers were coming. But seeing these legendary animated figures holding assault rifles and hitting modern emotes brings a whole new level of surreal fun to the game. It is a wild mashup that only Fortnite could pull off.
The Mistress of All Evil Takes Flight
First up is Maleficent, the iconic villain from the 1959 classic Sleeping Beauty. Her skin captures her original animated look perfectly. She sports her flowing black-and-purple robes alongside those unmistakable, sweeping curved horns. Epic did not skimp on the details or the accessories for this one.
Players can equip her signature staff as a pickaxe and glide onto the island using a dark, magical dragon-themed glider. To make things even sweeter, she comes with a reactive back bling. It flares up with eerie green flames whenever you secure an elimination on an opponent.
Hades and Captain Hook Join the Fray
Next in line is Hades, the fast-talking ruler of the Underworld from the 1997 animated film Hercules. Do not confuse this with the mythologically inspired Hades skin from a previous Battle Pass. This version is pure 90s Disney nostalgia. His signature blue flame hair actually flickers and glows dynamically during gameplay. He comes equipped with a skull-topped scepter and a custom glider shaped like his dark Underworld chariot.
Rounding out the trio is Captain Hook from Peter Pan. He looks incredibly sharp in his crimson pirate coat and feather-plumed hat. Naturally, his left hand is replaced by his signature polished metal hook. His pickaxe is a heavy pirate cutlass, and his back bling is a miniature, ticking treasure chest—a direct nod to the crocodile that haunts his nightmares.
Pricing, Bundles, and How to Get Them
Adding these villains to your locker will not require trading your soul, but it will take a decent chunk of V-Bucks. Here is how the pricing breaks down in the Fortnite Item Shop:
- Individual Villain Skins: 1,500 V-Bucks each. This purchase includes the character’s base outfit and their corresponding back bling.
- The Disney Villains Bundle: 3,800 V-Bucks. This mega-pack includes all three character skins, their back blings, pickaxes, gliders, and unique emotes.
Buying the bundle saves you a significant amount of V-Bucks compared to purchasing every item individually. If you want the complete collection, the bundle is definitely the way to go.
The community reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. Fortnite players have already flooded social media platforms with gameplay clips of the new characters. “I never thought I would see Maleficent doing a full squad wipe, but here we are,” one player shared on Reddit. The skins are expected to remain in the shop rotation for the duration of the Fortnitemares event, but they will eventually cycle out, so players will want to grab them before they disappear back into the Disney vault.
