Epic Games has tirelessly worked on many Fortnite collaborations over the past few years. Due to this, it’s no surprise that another one is around the corner. At the moment, Fortnite players are working on unlocking Aang and other Avatar skins, while also using new Mythic abilities. However, as soon as this event is done, we will get another Fortnite x Star Wars collaboration, as its release date was confirmed by Epic.
Not only has Epic revealed the release date of the Star Wars collab, but also a few more things that will be added with it. Before we get into details, make sure to check out our guides on how to unlock free Fortnite skins. If you need to level up quickly, we have a list of some of the best XP maps in Fortnite.
Epic revealed the release date of the next Fortnite x Star Wars collaboration
Epic Games and Disney have collaborated many times in the past, bringing a couple of iconic Star Wars characters to Fortnite. Thanks to this collaboration, we can now play as Anakin Skywalker, Darth Maul, Han Solo, and others. In less than three weeks, this impressive lineup of skins will be expanded even further!
The next collab between the two companies will take place on Friday, May 3. While the date may be odd, as it’s just a day before Star Wars day, it makes sense considering that many collaborations come on Fridays.
Epic has revealed a couple of things about the upcoming collaboration, and we know that it will bring content for almost every major game mode. We expect lightsabers to return in Fortnite Battle Royale, while LEGO Fortnite will also get some Star Wars skins. Furthermore, the game developer teased the addition of the Star Wars theme to the Fortnite Festival.
According to Fortnite leakers, the upcoming collab will bring new weapons, including the Wookie Bowcaster. Chewbacca, one of the most popular characters from the franchise, will also come, along with Lando Calrissian. Furthermore, it appears that Death Troopers will also come to the game, along with a new Leia Organa skin.
