Summary
Fortnite’s new “Override” season puts Sonic the Hedgehog front and center, letting players use the character as Sega marks Sonic’s 35th anniversary.
The Battle Pass unlocks a Tails Sidekick, while the crossover also adds a Tails Sprite, Rings and Sonic Power Sneakers that enable Spin Dash attacks against Dr. Eggman.
Override further leans into retro game design with mechanics such as Cheat Codes and 1-Up Tokens.
The season builds on Chapter 7 Season 4’s broader game-crossover push, which earlier reports said also included Pac-Man, Mega Man and Green Hill Zone-themed changes.
