Sprites are sticking around in Fortnite for Chapter 7 Season 4, and the roster is already shaping up to be the most recognizable yet. Seven Sprites have been spotted in the season trailer, with familiar faces like Sonic, Tails, and Klombo confirmed to be getting the collectible treatment. Full rarity and ability details are still locked down ahead of launch, but here's everything that's been confirmed so far.
How many Sprites are in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4?
Seven Sprites have been identified for Chapter 7 Season 4 based on the official season trailer. Whether all seven will be available from day one or roll out across the season is not yet confirmed. Epic Games has not officially detailed rarities for any of them, and it's also unconfirmed whether the variant types from Season 3, including Gold, Holofoil, Gummy, and Galactic, will carry over. Expect more Sprites to be added as the season progresses, as Season 3 followed the same pattern.

The season trailer gave the clearest look at what's coming. Major collab characters lead the lineup, with Sonic and Tails from the Sega franchise both confirmed. Tails is the only Sprite so far to have an ability shown on screen, with a hover ability visible in the trailer footage. The rest of the confirmed roster rounds out with Fortnite-native characters and one collab that will be familiar to retro gaming fans.
What abilities and rarities should you expect?
This is where things get speculative, and the honest answer is: not much is confirmed yet. The Season 3 Sprite system gave players a solid framework to work from. If you want a refresher on how abilities worked last season, the complete Sprite ability breakdown for Season 3 covers every ability and rarity tier in detail.
What's clear from the trailer is that the Sprite mechanic itself is not going anywhere. Epic confirmed the feature carries into Season 4, and a new location called the Sprite Garden is being introduced, which suggests the collection and discovery loop is getting expanded rather than just repeated.

Will Gold and variant Sprites return in Season 4?
Gold Sprites were among the rarest finds in Season 3, carrying XP bonuses on top of their standard effects. Whether Gold, Holofoil, Gummy, and Galactic variants return in Season 4 has not been confirmed. If you missed the Season 3 variants, the Gold Sprite guide for Chapter 7 Season 3 breaks down every type, spawn odds, and the XP bonuses they carried.
Given that Epic is expanding the Sprite system with the Sprite Garden, it's reasonable to expect the variant structure to return in some form, but nothing is locked in until the season goes live.

What's new with the Sprite Garden?
The Sprite Garden is the biggest structural change to the Sprite system confirmed so far. It appears to be a dedicated location on the Chapter 7 Season 4 map specifically tied to Sprite discovery and interaction. The exact mechanics are not detailed yet, but it signals that Epic is treating Sprites as a core seasonal feature rather than a side activity.
For players who want to get ahead on the collection loop before Season 4 launches, reviewing how Sprite extraction worked in Season 3 is worth the time. The Sprite Dust system and extraction mechanics from Season 3 may carry over in some form.
