Percy Jackson has finally made it into Fortnite, but not in the way most players expected. Instead of a traditional Item Shop drop or a seasonal battle pass collaboration, the franchise arrives as a fully fledged custom island built around Camp Half-Blood and the Sea of Monsters.
That structure has a big impact on how Percy Jackson skins work in Fortnite today, where you can use them, and why fans are still waiting for cosmetics in the main game modes.
Percy Jackson in Fortnite: where he actually appears
The collaboration centers on a Creative map called Percy Jackson: Siege of Monsters, a standalone island built with Fortnite’s Creative tools. It launched on December 9 and is accessible through the island code 9135-6797-0922 by searching for the map in-game.
On this island, players arrive at an expansive version of Camp Half-Blood and are treated as new demigods. The experience is structured around a hub-and-quest loop more than a standard Battle Royale match. You claim a bunk at camp, talk to familiar characters, and pick up quests that send you into surrounding forests, mountains, and combat arenas.
Crucially, Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Grover Underwood all appear here as fully modeled Fortnite characters, using the likenesses of the Disney+ cast. They’re present around the map as interactive NPCs, handing out exposition and quest directions while you prepare for boss fights and exploration challenges.
How Percy Jackson skins work on Siege of Monsters
The island does more than drop in a few branded character models. Siege of Monsters is built as a progression-heavy action map with RPG-style layers, and the Percy Jackson cast is woven into that structure.
Players earn drachmas, an in-map currency, by fighting monsters, opening chests, collecting coins around Camp Half-Blood, and completing objectives. Those drachmas fund weapon purchases at an armory, upgrades at a forge, and other power boosts that make later encounters more manageable. This setup mirrors Fortnite’s usual loot and upgrade rhythms but re-skins them with Percy Jackson’s demigod economy and theming.
As you play, your character’s divine parent is eventually revealed through a dedicated quest line. That “godly parent” mechanic ties directly into the fantasy of being a demigod at Camp Half-Blood, aligning the in-game progression with the books and Disney+ series.
On the combat side, the island leans into set-piece boss fights. Players battle the Minotaur (explicitly modeled in the comedic “tighty-whities” look from the show), massive Laistrygonian Giants, and a climactic dual encounter against Scylla and Charybdis on the Sea of Monsters. Difficulty options on the final Scylla/Charybdis fight add extra mechanics for repeat runs, giving the map a replay loop beyond a one-off promo.
All of this happens inside the custom island. Percy, Annabeth, and Grover are present and playable in this context, but they are bound to this specific map rather than shipping as global cosmetics for every mode.
Are Percy Jackson skins in the Fortnite Item Shop or Battle Pass?
Right now, there is no sign that the Percy Jackson character models from Siege of Monsters are available as standard skins in the main game modes. They do not appear as purchasable outfits in the Item Shop, and they are not part of a Battle Royale or Festival battle pass.
This is a major difference compared to other Fortnite crossovers. Characters such as Marty McFly have arrived as clearly labeled skin bundles, available to equip across Battle Royale, Zero Build, and other playlists. Percy Jackson’s collaboration instead follows the pattern of several branded Creative experiences that keep their custom character content locked inside specific islands.
That limitation is not technical. The Percy Jackson models clearly use standard Fortnite proportions and rigging rather than scaled-down child bodies, which would have made reuse more complicated. They look and animate like any other skin you might see in a typical match; they’re simply not exposed as cosmetics you can unlock or buy.
This has led to speculation among players that the models could migrate to the Item Shop later, but there is no confirmation of that. At the moment, the only guaranteed way to see these versions of Percy, Annabeth, and Grover in action is to load into Siege of Monsters.
Why the skins might be Creative-only for now
The absence of shop or pass skins is not just a missed marketing opportunity. There are practical and reputational reasons to keep the collaboration constrained to a bespoke island.
First, Percy Jackson on Disney+ uses a cast of real-life teenagers. Turning young actors into widely usable Fortnite skins raises predictable questions about putting realistic minors into a high-profile shooter, even if the game is stylized and rated for teens. Inside a curated Creative island, the tone and scenarios stay much closer to the fantasy adventure of the show and novels than to the chaotic mix of licensed chaos in Battle Royale.
Second, Creative islands like Siege of Monsters give Disney and Epic Games tighter control over pacing and framing. Camp Half-Blood, the lava mountain climb, and the Sea of Monsters boss arena are all designed to evoke specific story beats from the novels and season two of the show. Keeping the character models tied to that environment avoids the dissonance of Percy Jackson suddenly sharing a lobby with characters from horror franchises or hyper-violent games.
Finally, Fortnite’s current collaboration strategy often uses Creative maps as testing grounds. Disneyland Game Rush, another Disney partnership, works the same way: a bespoke island, themed challenges, and carefully fenced-in cosmetics. Percy Jackson’s crossover fits neatly into that template.
What you can actually do on the Percy Jackson island
The island is built to stand on its own, not just sell a brand logo. Once you queue into Siege of Monsters, you can expect a structure closer to a co-op action RPG than a last-player-standing match.
| Feature | How it works on Siege of Monsters |
|---|---|
| Camp Half-Blood hub | Central area where you claim a bunk, meet Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and other campers, and pick up quests. |
| Godly parent reveal | Quest-driven storyline that eventually reveals your divine parent, tying your demigod identity into gameplay. |
| Drachmas economy | In-map currency earned from combat, exploration, and chests, used to buy weapons and upgrades. |
| Boss monsters | Scripted fights against the Minotaur, Laistrygonian Giants, and the final Scylla and Charybdis encounter. |
| Traversal challenges | Climbing a fiery mountain that leans heavily on Fortnite’s mantling, with tight jumps and a lava lake below. |
| Replayability | Multiple difficulty levels for the Sea of Monsters battle and a spread of side quests and upgrades to chase. |
The moment-to-moment mechanics still feel like Fortnite. Players use melee and ranged weapons, drink shield potions, heal with health items, and upgrade their gear. The difference is context: all of that is happening in dense forests around Camp Half-Blood, underground passages, and a towering volcanic climb rather than a shrinking storm circle.
Why fans keep asking for Percy Jackson cosmetics
Long before the Creative island went live, parts of the Fortnite community were already lobbying for Percy Jackson skins in the main game. During an earlier Greek mythology-themed season, players floated ideas like a Walker Scobell-based Percy outfit with alternate Camp Half-Blood T-shirt style, Riptide as a pickaxe, a Master Bolt mythic weapon, and themed emotes.
When the collab was finally announced, that energy shifted to more specific questions: would Percy show up as a secret battle pass skin, or as a set of Item Shop cosmetics timed with the show’s second season on Disney+? The reveal of Siege of Monsters answered those questions only partly. Fans got the island and the modeled characters, but not the cross-mode skins they expected.
There is also a nostalgia factor that cuts across demographics. Some older players grew up with Rick Riordan’s novels, while younger players may know Percy Jackson primarily through the Disney+ series. Bringing those characters into Fortnite in a limited, Creative-only way satisfies part of that demand but stops short of turning Percy into a persistent presence on the Battle Royale map.
How to play with the Percy Jackson skins today
For now, the path is simple, even if the usage is limited.
Step 1: Launch Fortnite and switch to the Discover screen where you can browse and search for Creative experiences.
Step 2: Enter the island code 9135-6797-0922 or search for Percy Jackson: Siege of Monsters by name, then queue into the map, either solo or with a party.
Step 3: Load into Camp Half-Blood, claim a bunk, and start following the quest markers. You’ll quickly meet Percy, Annabeth, and Grover, see their skins in motion, and begin unlocking weapons and powers through drachmas.
Step 4: Push through the boss fights and mountain climb, then replay the Sea of Monsters battle at higher difficulties to see more of what the map offers.
None of this will make Percy or his friends show up in your locker for use in other modes. These skins live strictly inside Siege of Monsters, tied to its story moments and progression.
That structure leaves an obvious open question: will Percy Jackson ever join the long list of Fortnite characters who can drop onto any island, side by side with superheroes, anime fighters, and cartoon mascots? The assets now exist and are already playable in one corner of the game. For the moment, though, Camp Half-Blood is where Percy Jackson lives in Fortnite — and where his skins stay.
