27 New Fortnite Sprites Expected After September 24: Bounty Hunter, Morgana & Birthday

👀 Fortnite Sprite collectors have a huge few days ahead. 27 currently unreleased Sprites and variants are expected to become available following September 24, including the new Bounty Hunter variants, the Persona 5-inspired Morgana Sprite family, and the upcoming Birthday Sprite family.

Many of these Sprites were added to Fortnite's files with the v42.20 update, but being present in the game files does not necessarily mean a Sprite is obtainable yet. Epic has been staggering the release of the new Sprite content throughout the second half of September.

🎯 Bounty Hunter Sprites Arrive September 24

The first major wave is the new Bounty Hunter variant. Epic Games officially announced that Bounty Hunter Sprite variants join Fortnite on Thursday, September 24.

Unlike normal Sprite variants, Bounty Hunters are heavily connected to combat. Epic says they have a chance to appear when you eliminate opponents, and they gain Sprite XP only from eliminations.

This means players hunting these variants will need to approach Sprite collecting differently. Instead of simply searching the Island for Sprite spawns, getting eliminations becomes an important part of finding and leveling the new Bounty Hunter collection.

Expected Bounty Hunter Sprites

• Bounty Hunter Jonesy Sprite
• Bounty Hunter Adventure Sprite
• Bounty Hunter Bush Sprite
• Bounty Hunter Sonic Sprite
• Bounty Hunter Tails Sprite
• Bounty Hunter Shadow Sprite
• Bounty Hunter 8-Bit Sprite
• Bounty Hunter Jackrabbit Sprite
• Bounty Hunter Killswitch Sprite
• Bounty Hunter Klombo Sprite
• Bounty Hunter Overshield Sprite
• Bounty Hunter X-Ray Sprite
• Bounty Hunter Onigiri Sprite
• Bounty Hunter Storm Scout Sprite
• Bounty Hunter Blinky Sprite
• Bounty Hunter Crash Bandicoot Sprite
• Bounty Hunter Pond Sprite

That's 17 additional Bounty Hunter variants expected in this wave. The Bounty Hunter Crown Sprite is a special exception because it became obtainable earlier through its own mastery requirement.

🐱 Morgana Sprite Family Could Follow

Another major addition found in the files is Morgana, connected to Fortnite's Persona collaboration. Five Morgana versions have been identified:

• Morgana Sprite
• Gold Morgana Sprite
• Cheat Master Morgana Sprite
• Loot Hacker Morgana Sprite
• Bounty Hunter Morgana Sprite

September 25 has been suggested as a possible release date because of the timing of the Persona content. However, unlike the September 24 Bounty Hunter rollout and September 26 Birthday Sprite, Epic has not officially announced a Morgana Sprite release date.

Morgana's listed ability focuses on healing. It increases the effectiveness of healing items, with the effectiveness increasing each time the Sprite levels up.

🎂 Birthday Sprite Arrives September 26

The next confirmed addition is the Birthday Sprite, which Epic says becomes available on Saturday, September 26 as Fortnite celebrates its birthday.

Five Birthday Sprite versions have been identified:

• Birthday Sprite
• Gold Birthday Sprite
• Cheat Master Birthday Sprite
• Loot Hacker Birthday Sprite
• Bounty Hunter Birthday Sprite

The Birthday Sprite has one of the more unusual abilities introduced this season. Opening Chests has a chance to spawn slices of Birthday Cake, and that chance improves as the Sprite levels up.

At maximum Sprite Level, eliminations can also spawn cake, giving the Birthday Sprite another way to provide healing during a match.

📅 Expected Release Schedule

• September 24: 17 Bounty Hunter variants — officially announced by Epic for the Bounty Hunter rollout.
• September 25: 5 Morgana variants — expected/datamined timing; not officially confirmed by Epic.
• September 26: Birthday Sprite becomes available — officially confirmed by Epic. Its additional variant forms are present in the files.

If all of the currently identified variants become obtainable on this expected schedule, collectors could have 27 new Sprite entries to hunt across just a few days.

🏆 Bounty Hunter Sprites Could Be the Biggest Collection Challenge

The Bounty Hunter wave is especially important because it introduces a different collecting mechanic. These Sprites can appear from player eliminations and normally level through eliminations rather than regular Sprite XP activities.

Their exact individual drop chances have not been officially published. That means percentages circulating for individual Bounty Hunter Sprites should not yet be treated as confirmed drop rates.

With rare Sprites such as Klombo receiving Bounty Hunter versions, the new variant family could become one of the major collection targets for Chapter 7 Season 4.

⚠️ Release Dates Can Still Change

Sprite assets appearing in Fortnite's files are strong evidence of upcoming content, but datamined content can be delayed, changed or disabled before release.

Epic has specifically announced the Bounty Hunter variants for September 24 and the Birthday Sprite for September 26. The Morgana family and the exact availability of every associated variant should therefore be treated as upcoming until they become obtainable in-game.
