Epic Games is adding three new Sprites to Fortnite as part of the v41.20 update on July 16, 2026. The update brings an Air Sprite, a Batman Sprite, and a Seven Sprite to Chapter 7 Season 3, each with unique abilities that can be found in random chests across the map.
Release Time and Server Downtime
Update v41.20 is expected to go live at 8am BST on July 16, 2026. However, Fortnite updates typically require a few hours of server downtime. Players can expect servers to return around 10am BST on the same day.
New Sprites and Their Abilities
Air Sprite
The Air Sprite grants increased sprint speed, increased jump height, and negates all fall damage. Its jump height increases as the Sprite levels up. It can be found in random chests around the map.
Batman Sprite
The Batman Sprite's powers are currently unknown. It is also found in random chests.
Seven Sprite
The Seven Sprite reveals enemy player foot trails to your squad. The duration of the foot trail reveal increases as the Sprite levels up. Like the others, it appears in random chests.
Additional Rumored Sprites
These three new Sprites join the 16 other Sprites already in the game. Rumors and data mines suggest two more Sprites may arrive before Chapter 7 Season 3 ends, potentially involving collaborations with Spider-Man and John Wick.
