A new Star Wars collab is right around the corner, revealing one of the worst-kept secrets in Fortnite.
The Disney franchise and Fortnite go way back, so another partnership was inevitable, and leaks have been present for a while—but now it’s official.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Fortnite’s official account shared a short video that didn’t reveal much about what’s planned for the event on May 3—a day before Star Wars Day.
The biggest takeaway, however, is that the event does not seem to be just limited to skins or additions to the battle royale mode. Epic specifically said LEGO Fortnite and Fortnite Festival would also be involved.
It’s not clear exactly what those two game modes will have, and it may just be that the LEGO Fortnite crossover is more LEGO skins, especially if we get a new Princess Leia skin or Chewbacca finally making an appearance. But there’s plenty of potential.
LEGO Fortnite recently added paid DLC with more builds for villages, so we could see a LEGO Star Wars pack with buildings or something different altogether, like heading to space and onto the Death Star.
For Fortnite Festival, meanwhile, it seems nailed on that the game mode will have Star Wars tracks added, like Darth Vader’s Imperial March or the classic tune from the Mos Eisley Cantina to rock out to.
But there’s bad news for Rocket Racing because it wasn’t included in the teaser, so it doesn’t look like we’re getting Anakin Skywalker’s Pod Racer added to the mode.
Full details will be revealed closer to the event, but speculation is likely to ran rampant in the meantime. I just hope we get a Sith Lord Jar Jar Binks skin.
