wccftech.com:

The long-awaited Cursed Sails event for Fortnite is now live. Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean is the next collaboration in-game, with players now able to live out their swashbuckling dreams by exploring Shipwreck Shallows and hunting for buried treasure.

With this shiny new event comes quests for players to complete, titled Cursed Sails quests. With this event comes a battle pass, where completing Cursed Sails quests will net you rewards from the Cursed Sails Pass. Completing the Cursed Sails quests will give you access to the Cursed Gold currency, the point system where you can unlock rewards from the battle pass. The battle pass features 11 unlockable cosmetics on the free track, meaning you don't have to miss out on looking the part of a pirate.

For those who have purchased the battle pass for this event, you will instantly unlock Jack Sparrow's entire outfit. The premium track can net you rewards such as the Jar of Dirt Emote, Jack's Compass Back Bling, and many more Pirates of the Carribean-themed cosmetics.

While this event may feel similar to Wrecked, you will get to explore many new vessels that hide plenty of secrets along the way.

Participating in the event means you'll get to explore exclusive features that appear. For example, you may find a Ship in a Bottle when looting the vessels. By breaking it open, you can summon a Ghost Ship, which
