Hollow Knight Sidekick in Fortnite: Release Date and Price
The Hollow Knight Sidekick arrived with the Fortnite Item Shop reset on October 7, 2026, at 8 PM ET. It belongs to the Hollow Knight collab, which is part of the Fortnitemares 2026 event.
Epic first showed The Knight in the Fortnitemares 2026 gameplay trailer. The trailer named Hollow Knight among the event’s collaborations. GoSuGamers reported that the Sidekick comes with two Styles.
You can buy the Hollow Knight Sidekick for 1,500 V-Bucks on its own. The Hollow Knight Bundle costs 2,000 V-Bucks. The bundle includes the Sidekick and two other cosmetics tied to the collab.
Buying the Sidekick alone saves you 500 V-Bucks.
