2026 is shaping up to be the biggest year in Blox Fruits history. After the Control fruit rework in late 2025, developers have confirmed a packed schedule of major updates including fruit reworks, the highly anticipated Fourth Sea, new mythical fruits, and game-changing system overhauls.

This isn’t speculation - these updates are confirmed through developer statements, in-game leaks, and official bulletins. If you’re planning your progression or wondering what to prioritize, this roadmap covers every major update expected in 2026.

From the Valentine’s Day Dark fruit rework to the December Fourth Sea release, here’s everything coming to Blox Fruits this year.

Developer Confirmed: Blox Fruits developers are back from holiday break and have stated “2026 is looking to be peak” with the Fourth Sea confirmed as the biggest update in the game’s history.

February: Valentine’s Day Update - Dark Fruit Rework

The first major update of 2026 arrives in mid-February with the Valentine’s event, but this year brings an unexpected twist: the Dark fruit rework.

Why Dark fruit for Valentine’s Day? While previous Valentine’s updates focused on love-themed content, developers are taking a different approach. Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romance - it’s also about the “dark side” for those who get rejected or spend the day alone. This thematic choice makes Dark fruit the perfect Valentine’s update.

Confirmation from developers: Admin E confirmed during the Control fruit trailer that the mysterious scythe-like weapon shown is neither the Hollow Scythe nor Shadow fruit - it’s the upcoming Dark fruit rework. This confirmation came when players noticed similarities to existing weapons and questioned what they were seeing.

What to expect from Dark rework:

The Dark fruit is currently one of the most outdated Logia fruits in the game, last receiving meaningful updates years ago. The rework will likely include new moves with modern animations and visual effects comparable to recent reworks like Control. Enhanced transformation mechanics or visual upgrades to the Dark form. Improved grinding efficiency to match current meta fruits. Potential PvP combo improvements to make it competitive again.

Valentine’s shop returns: The traditional Valentine’s shop will offer money, race rerolls, fruits, accessories (Cupid Coat, Heart Shades), and aura skins. However, the Dark fruit rework will be the main attraction.

When to expect it: Based on past Valentine’s updates, expect the official announcement in early February (first week) with the update dropping mid-to-late February, likely around February 14-20.

March-April: Fruit Fusion System - Dough + Ice

One of the most game-changing mechanics coming to Blox Fruits is the fruit fusion system, allowing players to combine two fruits into one hybrid fruit.

How fruit fusion works: A mysterious machine (already hinted at in-game) will allow players to fuse specific fruit combinations. The first confirmed fusion is Dough + Ice, creating a hybrid fruit with abilities from both parents. Fusion likely requires both fruits in your inventory plus additional materials or currency.

Dough + Ice fusion details: According to leaked files found by players interacting with the Mysterious Scientist NPC, there’s a hidden message in the admin panel: “Someone tried to combine dough and ice fruit. Result: cold pastries delicious but unstable. A new fruit fusion may be coming soon.”

Fan-made concepts show what this might look like: Dough’s stunning and transformation abilities combined with Ice’s freezing and AOE damage. Imagine a fruit that stuns enemies like Dough while simultaneously freezing them like Ice - potentially one of the strongest PvP fruits if balanced correctly.

Beyond Dough + Ice: The bulletin mentioned “fusion mechanics” plural, suggesting multiple fusion combinations will be available. Developers stated the machine has “deeper secrets which probably lie ahead,” hinting at more than just fruit fusion. Trinkets may also be fuseable, creating enhanced accessories with combined stats.

Strategic implications: If you’re a Dough or Ice main, hold onto extra copies of these fruits. Fusion will likely consume both fruits in the process. The fusion system could completely shift the meta, making certain fruit combinations extremely valuable for trading.

June-July: Summer Double Update

Unlike 2025 which lacked a summer update, 2026 will feature two major releases during summer break, capitalizing on increased player activity when school is out.

Update 1: Quake Fruit Rework (Mid-June)

Confirmed by Admin E: The developer directly stated “I’m gonna make a Quake rework happen. People will be mad when it comes out and it makes the fruit good because it’s no skill.” This confirms Quake will be reworked specifically to be powerful and accessible, likely focusing on AOE spam abilities.

Why Quake needs a rework: Currently, Quake awakened is decent for PvP but outdated compared to modern fruit designs. The moves are predictable, lack visual flair, and the fruit hasn’t been touched since early updates. As a Paramecia based on Whitebeard’s power from One Piece, it deserves to be one of the most devastating fruits in the game.

Expected features: Massive AOE attacks covering entire islands or battle zones. “No skill” spam-friendly moves as Admin E confirmed. Potentially tied to sub-classes for Sea Events (more on this below). Modern animations with earthquake visual effects and screen shake. Ground-cracking mechanics similar to One Piece source material.

Release timing: Likely around June 13th when schools let out for summer, maximizing player engagement. May coincide with sub-classes for Sea Events, adding new progression systems.

Update 2: Venom Fruit Rework (Late July)

Why Venom is next: Venom is confirmed as one of the most outdated mythical fruits, with animations and mechanics from early Blox Fruits updates. The mysterious Scientist NPC has a “Creation” admin panel option listed as “Coming Soon” - Venom rework is expected to tie into this Creation system.

What makes Venom outdated: Current Venom abilities are visually unappealing compared to modern fruits. Transformation is clunky and the model looks dated. Damage output is middling for a mythical fruit. Grinding efficiency is poor compared to Buddha, Light, or awakened Logias.

Rework predictions: Complete visual overhaul with modern particle effects and animations. New transformation model - possibly more monstrous or apocalyptic in theme. Enhanced DOT (damage over time) mechanics fitting the poison/venom theme. Improved mobility and AOE for better grinding. May require rare materials from the Creation system to unlock awakened moves.

Previous concepts: Community-made concepts show “Apocalyptic Venom” with raining poison clouds and transformation into a massive venom entity. While not official, these concepts align with what a modern mythical fruit should look like.

August-September: Celestial and Oni Fruits

Two new mythical fruits are confirmed for 2026: Celestial and Oni. Both were hinted at through events in 2025 (Ani Helmet from My Game 43 event, Celestial Helmet from Riper event), but this year they’ll become obtainable fruits.

Celestial Fruit

Evidence of existence: Rip Indra’s profile shows the Celestial fruit icon. In-game files contain moves like “Karmatic Shatter” with celestial-themed animations. Issai (developer) was caught on camera using Celestial fruit abilities.

Celestial abilities: Based on leaked animations, expect divine/holy-themed attacks with light-based projectiles. One confirmed move is Karmatic Shatter - a powerful AOE ability. May have a transformation similar to Buddha or Oni. Likely tied to Divine Art fighting style, which could release alongside the fruit.

Celestial icon and skins: New bomb skins with celestial themes found in game files. Celestial color schemes (golds, whites, heavenly blues) for matching aesthetic.

Oni Fruit

Transformation confirmed: My Game 43’s profile shows the Oni fruit and has been updated with new accessories/rings. Fan-made models show a demonic bat-like transformation for Oni form. Fits the demon/devil theme, opposite of Celestial’s divine theme.

Expected release: Could release as a pair with Celestial (holy vs demonic theme). Oni and Celestial helmets from 2025 events suggest these fruits were planned long-term. Summer release makes sense for maximum impact - two mythical fruits would drive massive engagement.

Strategic importance: Both fruits will be mythical rarity (1% or lower spawn rate). Trading value will be extremely high on release week. If you’re saving money or Robux, allocate resources for when these drop.

October-November: Halloween Update - Crew Rework

Halloween 2026 will bring the long-awaited crew system overhaul, completely changing how crews function in Blox Fruits.

Why crew rework matters: The current crew system is barebones - you can only invite players in your server, kick members, or delete the crew. There are no roles, no crew activities, no meaningful progression. The rework was announced over a year ago but was scrapped and redesigned for a more comprehensive system.

What’s confirmed for crew rework:

Uzoth (developer) stated: “We ended up scrapping it to rethink the system entirely. Our goal now is to make crews more immersive and meaningful with layers upon layers of different features to take control of your crew and do activities with.”

Expected features: Member roles and promotion system (Captain, First Mate, Crew Member, etc.). Crew Wars - organized PvP battles between crews for rankings and rewards. Crew activities like group raids, boss hunts, or territory control. Crew progression systems separate from individual leveling. Crew hideouts or bases with customization options.

Bounty rework included: Currently, bounty caps at 30 million with no additional rewards or progression. The rework will likely increase the cap to 40-50 million and add new bounty-based rewards. Bounty hunters may get exclusive abilities or bonuses for hunting high-bounty players. Crew bounty totals could factor into Crew Wars rankings.

Halloween tradition: Blox Fruits typically releases major content during Halloween. 2024 brought Ghost fruit and the Trick-or-Treat door event. 2025 added Werewolf fruit, Werewolf boss, and expanded Halloween content. 2026’s Crew Wars launch during Halloween would fit perfectly with the competitive/battle theme.

December: Fourth Sea - The Biggest Update Ever

The Fourth Sea is confirmed for December 2026 and will be the largest content drop in Blox Fruits history, comparable to when Third Sea added 1,000+ levels and dozens of new systems.

Developer confirmation: Uzoth posted: “Of course, if we’re going to do a big update, it’s always going to be at the end of the year. And Sea 4 is for sure by far going to be the biggest update.” A community poll showed 75% of players want Fourth Sea as the top priority for 2026.

What Fourth Sea will include:

New level cap: Likely raising max level from 2,550 to 3,500-4,000 based on content patterns. Dozens of new islands with unique biomes and enemy types. New questlines, bosses, and progression systems exclusive to Fourth Sea.

New fruits: At minimum, several new fruits designed specifically for Fourth Sea balance. May include fruit evolution systems or additional fusion combinations.

Upgraded equipment: New versions of existing accessories with Fourth Sea-tier stats. Updated swords and guns to match the new level cap. White Coat, Dark Coat, Saber, Swan Glasses all have upgraded versions shown in leaks.

New trinkets and rings: Two new trinkets were found in My Game 43 and Rip Indra’s profiles. High-quality versions suggest these are Fourth Sea endgame accessories.

Enhanced systems: Sub-classes for Sea Events (allowing specialization in specific sea event types). Achievement overhauls with new Fourth Sea-specific achievements. Sea Events become more complex with new mechanics and rewards.

How to access Fourth Sea: Early speculation suggests a hidden key system similar to Second and Third Sea portals. Players discovered that Rip Indra holds a “secret key” in game files. The entrance may be hidden in Second Sea’s lava area based on environmental clues. Likely requires level 2,550 and completing a difficult quest chain or boss fight.

Why December?: Blox Fruits always releases major updates during winter break when player count peaks. Update 17 (Third Sea) was the previous record holder for biggest update - Fourth Sea will surpass it. Holiday season means more players online to experience new content and spend Robux on game passes.

Additional Confirmed Features

Beyond the major updates, several smaller features and reworks are confirmed for 2026.

Sub-classes for Sea Events: Mentioned multiple times in bulletins, sub-classes will allow specialization in different sea event types (Ship Raids, Terror Sharks, Leviathans, etc.). Players can choose sub-class paths that buff specific event farming. Likely tied to Quake rework as a showcase for the system.

New achievements: Fourth Sea will introduce dozens of new achievements for completing questlines, defeating bosses, and reaching milestones. May include retroactive achievements for players who completed earlier seas.

PvP balancing: Community polls show PvP balancing is a top request alongside Fourth Sea. Expect ongoing balance patches throughout 2026 as new fruits and reworks shift the meta. Crew Wars will require significant PvP adjustments to ensure fairness.

New aura skins: Valentine’s shop confirmed to have new aura/Haki color customization options. Additional colors may release with summer updates or Fourth Sea.

What This Means for Your Progression

If you’re actively playing Blox Fruits in 2026, here’s how to optimize for upcoming updates:

Before February (Dark rework): If you main Dark fruit, max your Mastery now before the rework. Post-rework, Dark will likely become meta, so trading for it now while it’s cheap is strategic.

Before March-April (Fusion system): Stockpile Dough and Ice fruits if possible - fusion will consume both. Hold onto multiple copies of strong fruits in case additional fusion combos are viable.

Before June-July (Summer updates): Max level to 2,550 before Quake rework if you plan to use it. Farm fragments for Venom awakening costs (expect 15,000-20,000 fragments total). Save money for new fighting styles that may release with summer content.

Before August-September (Celestial/Oni): Allocate 10-20 million Beli or Robux if you want these fruits on release day. Be ready to trade immediately - launch week trading prices will be insane. Join trading Discords to secure deals before public servers catch up.

Before October-November (Crew rework): Form or join a crew now with active players you trust. Crews with established rosters will have advantages when Crew Wars launch. Start building bounty if the rework includes retroactive rewards for current bounty holders.

Before December (Fourth Sea): Hit level 2,550 and complete all Third Sea content (Race V4, God Human, CDK, Soul Guitar). Stock up on 100,000+ fragments for Fourth Sea expenses. Max your current gear - Fourth Sea will introduce upgraded versions but having maxed Third Sea gear helps initially.

Final Thoughts

2026 is legitimately the biggest year in Blox Fruits history. Four major updates (Valentine’s, Summer double-drop, Halloween, Fourth Sea) plus multiple fruit reworks and system overhauls will keep the game feeling fresh throughout the year.

The Fourth Sea alone will add hundreds of hours of new content. Combined with fruit fusions, crew wars, and multiple mythical fruits, there’s more to do than ever before.

Your 2026 priorities:

  1. Hit max level (2,550) before Fourth Sea drops in December
  2. Farm fragments now - you’ll need 50,000+ for all 2026 content
  3. Stockpile fruits for fusion system (Dough, Ice, and any strong fruits)
  4. Build or join an active crew before Crew Wars launches
  5. Save money for new mythical fruits (20M+ Beli minimum)
  6. Stay updated on official bulletins for exact release dates

The developers have confirmed they’re taking 2026 seriously after a relatively quiet 2025. With Update 29 (Control rework) setting the bar for quality, every update in 2026 should meet or exceed that standard.

The grind is real, but 2026 is the year to be playing Blox Fruits. The Fourth Sea will be worth the wait.
