Epic will reveal who Fortnite's Captain X is on December 5

Epic Games recently caught Fortnite players’ attention by giving away thousands of dollars’ worth of cosmetics for free through a mysterious character named Captain X. This masked pirate, decked all in black, is at the heart of the Treasure Hunters season.

There are all kinds of theories: some think it could be MrBeast, known for his spectacular challenges on YouTube and his generous giveaways, while others have suggested figures like… Barack Obama. Yes, really.

The rewards on offer and the clues scattered throughout the game are fueling speculation, though the studio has not confirmed any of these theories. In light of this excitement, Epic Games is preparing a major reveal about Captain X.

His identity is set to be unveiled during the live event on December 5, 2026, which will also mark the conclusion of the Treasure Hunters season and the transition to Chapter 8. Until then, the mystery remains unsolved, and players continue to speculate about who is hiding behind the mask.
