Fortnite’s K-Pop Demon Hunters Drop Soon: Release Date, New Content, and What to Expect
A new breed of industry matchmakers is combing TikTok trends and flight logs to fuse K-pop idols with Afrobeats, Latin trap and even country—hunting the crossover built to blow up the global charts. Inside the high-speed chase to turn unlikely pairings into worldwide pop detonations.
K-Pop Demon Hunters is jumping into Fortnite, which honestly makes perfect sense: catchy songs, bold fits, and now a month of demon-smashing just in time for spooky season. If Epic hadn’t pulled the trigger, Netflix probably would’ve kept this hype train rolling with a follow-up film anyway.
When it drops (and how long it sticks around)
The K-Pop Demon Hunters event runs from October 2 to November 1, 2025. Very on-brand for October. Pricing isn’t confirmed yet, but historically Fortnite skins and bundles land somewhere between 1,000 and 3,200 V-Bucks. The HUNTR/X Bundle hits the shop on October 2.
What you actually get
- Demon Rush mode: Horde Rush is back under a new name and a new vibe. You’ll recruit Rumi, Mira, or Zoey and take on endless waves of faceless demons, picking up K-Pop Demon Hunters-style perks between survival phases. It runs for the full event window, Oct 2 through Nov 1. If you remember the Power Rangers collab, think that level of PvE chaos, but this time it’s demons, not bugs.
- Outfits, accessories, and emotes: Channel the trio’s look with Rumi, Mira, and Zoey outfits and matching accessories, plus new emotes in the shop. The HUNTR/X Bundle arrives Oct 2 alongside the event.
- BR and Blitz rewards: Knock out quests from Rumi, Mira, and Zoey in Battle Royale and Blitz to earn new items, including Rumi’s Sword and Mira’s X-tra Spicy Ramyeon.
- Creator tools on day one: Starting Oct 2, creators can build and publish K-Pop Demon Hunters experiences right away in UEFN and Fortnite Creative. You’ll get access to film-inspired assets, signature gameplay items, proper demon enemies, and HUNTR/X NPCs (Rumi, Mira, and Zoey). Go full melee with Rumi’s Empowered Sword, set up street showdowns, or remix an existing island. No publishing hold this time, which is a big deal if you like launching on the same day the hype hits.
The read
This is a neat alignment of vibes: earworm soundtrack from the summer, glossy pop aesthetics, and a demon-slaying PvE mode tailor-made for October. The real inside-baseball win is for creators: Epic is opening the gates on day one with all the themed toys and no delay on publishing. Expect a flood of fan-made K-Pop Demon Hunters islands and plenty of sword-swinging chaos the minute the clock hits Oct 2.
