Fortnite players can finally terrorize the island as some of the most notorious animated antagonists in history. Epic Games has officially released the highly anticipated Disney Villains collection in the Item Shop, bringing Maleficent, Hades, and Captain Hook into the battle royale arena. The drop arrives just in time for the annual Fortnitemares event, making it the perfect spooky season addition.
This crossover marks a significant moment for both brands. While Disney characters have appeared in Fortnite before—primarily through Marvel and Star Wars collaborations—this new wave leans heavily into classic Disney animation. Seeing these stylized, iconic figures holding assault rifles and performing goofy emotes is exactly the kind of chaotic fun Fortnite is known for. It is a striking contrast, and it works surprisingly well.
Meet the Villains: Skins and Cosmetics
The collection features three legendary bad guys, each meticulously designed to capture their classic animated look while fitting perfectly into the Fortnite aesthetic.
Maleficent
The Mistress of All Evil from the 1959 classic Sleeping Beauty takes center stage. Her skin features her signature black-and-purple robes and prominent horns. Players can customize her look with a modern, glowing green style that makes her look even more menacing in the dark. She comes bundled with the Maleficent’s Raven back bling and the Maleficent’s Scepter pickaxe, which glows with dark magic when swung.
Hades
Straight from the Underworld of the 1997 film Hercules, Hades brings his fast-talking, hot-tempered energy to the island. To avoid confusion with the Greek mythology-themed Hades skin from Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, this version is pure Disney. His blue hair actually flickers like real flame. The outfit comes with the Underworld Throne back bling and the Pitlord’s Scepter pickaxe, complete with its own blue-fire trails.
Captain Hook
Rounding out the trio is Captain Hook from Peter Pan. He is dressed in his flamboyant red captain’s coat and feathered hat. True to his character, he has a wooden peg leg and a hook for a hand. His cosmetic set includes the hilarious Tick-Tock back bling—a direct nod to the crocodile that haunted him—and Captain Hook’s Peg Leg pickaxe.
Special Emotes and Trappings
What makes these skins truly stand out are the tiny details built for fans. For instance, Hook has a unique traversal emote where he nervously scans the horizon for his reptilian nemesis. Maleficent’s scepter actually reacts to gameplay, sparking with green embers whenever you swing it. These small touches show the developers did their homework. They respected the source material while making sure the characters fit the high-energy vibe of the game.
Pricing and Bundle Details
For players looking to pick up these cosmetics, Epic Games offers a few different purchasing options in the Item Shop. You can buy the characters individually or grab them all together in a discounted mega-bundle.
- Individual Villain Packs: Each character skin, along with their respective back bling and pickaxe, costs 2,000 V-Bucks.
- The Disney Villains Bundle: This massive package contains all three characters, their back blings, and their pickaxes. It is priced at 3,800 V-Bucks, saving players a significant amount of virtual currency if they want the complete set.
- Villains Underlings Loading Screen: A special bonus loading screen featuring art of the three villains plotting their next move is included with the main bundle.
A Growing Disney Presence
This release is part of a much larger, ongoing partnership. Earlier this year, Disney made headlines by investing a staggering $1.5 billion into Epic Games. The goal is to build an entire Disney-themed persistent universe inside the Fortnite ecosystem.
We are already seeing the fruits of that investment. In recent months, Fortnite has added characters from Pixar’s The Incredibles, classic Disney animation, and even more Star Wars icons. Rumors suggest that Disney princesses and more classic heroes are already in development. For now, players can cause plenty of trouble as the baddest of the bad. The Disney Villains collection is available in the Item Shop now, but it won’t stay forever, so grab them before they vanish back into the vault.
