Next to Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. series, the super popular online multiplayer shooter Fortnite has become one of the world’s largest crossover video games. Each season of content added features multiple different characters from various franchises and companies—Marvel, Star Wars, DC, Dragon Ball, Naruto, Tomb Raider, Street Fighter, etc.
Earlier this year, Disney announced that it would partner with Epic Games to bring the world of Disney to Fortnite in a $1.5 Billion deal to acquire an equity stake in the game. This partnership almost assures that many more characters under the Disney umbrella will be joining the fray. And now, some new characters will be coming ashore to join the battle.
The content for an upcoming Cursed Sails Pass accidentally leaked, showing off a number of characters from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise that will be joining the game.
Jack Sparrow himself will join the battle, with the option to wear his hat or not. There is also a LEGO variant of the captain.
Cursed Jack Sparrow is an undead variant of the iconic captain is also included in the Cursed Sails Pass. 
Davey Jones, captain of the Flying Dutchman and villain of the franchise, can be purchased separately at the store with in-game currency.
Captain Barbosa, former undead captain of the Black Pearl, sets sail into battle. He can be purchased separately at the store with in-game currency.
Elizabeth Swan, crowned “King of the Pirates” and female heroine of the first three movies, also draws her sword. She can be purchased separately at the store with in-game currency.
Unfortunately, there is no sign of Will Turner or any other character from the series. But you never know what the future of the Disney/Fortnite partnership will bring. The Cured Sails Pass was officially released on July 18th.
