Epic Games announced that VTuber Ironmouse is joining Fortnite Battle Royale as a collectable Sprite in Chapter 7 Season 3, granting players a special ability when equipped. The item launched with boosted drop rates on Tuesday night. Fortnite also revealed two new Bleach collaboration cosmetics for Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihōin, launching Friday.
Epic Games introduced Ironmouse to Fortnite Battle Royale not as a player skin but as a Sprite, the collectable companion items from Chapter 7 Season 3. A short video on the Fortnite X account showed the ability the Sprite grants when equipped. Boosted drop rates ran at 9:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, with normal rates starting at 3:00 a.m. EDT on Wednesday.
Shortly after release, Epic investigated reports that the Sprite was not being granted after extraction and that players were finding empty Sprite Chests. Fortnite Status later said the issue was resolved and the Sprite was back in the loot pool, with Epic promising to grant the Sprite to affected players in the coming days.
Separately, Fortnite announced two new Bleach collaboration cosmetics for Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihōin, launching in the in-game store on Friday. The game previously collaborated with Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War in December 2025 with cosmetics for Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Uryu Ishida, and Orihime Inoue.
