The Star Wars content allows fans to celebrate and share their love of the movies in a fun, interactive way.
What to Expect From the Upcoming Star Wars X Fortnite Crossover
Limited-Time Modes
Epic often releases special limited-time modes for crossover events. They may bring back past modes like Heroes vs. Villains or create a new mode centered around combat between the light and dark sides of the Force. A Star Wars-themed mode could feature weapons like lightsabers, blasters and thermal detonators. Locations on the island may also get an overhaul to resemble places in the Star Wars universe like the Mos Eisley spaceport or the forest moon of Endor.
Challenges and Rewards
Crossover events usually come with free challenges that offer rewards like emoticons, sprays and gliders themed around the collaboration. Players can expect challenges requiring them to eliminate opponents with a lightsaber, deal damage with a blaster or complete other Star Wars-inspired objectives. Completing a certain number of challenges may unlock a secret reward like a holographic umbrella glider. These challenges encourage players to engage with the content of the crossover.
With a new Star Wars film set to release around this time, fans have reason to hope this crossover event will be substantial. The collaboration is sure to bring excitement to both Fortnite and Star Wars enthusiasts.
When Will the Star Wars Content Come to Fortnite?
The Star Wars content will arrive in Fortnite’s Item Shop and Battle Royale map in early May to coincide with Star Wars Day on May 4th. Epic Games has confirmed that new character outfits, gliders, pickaxes, emotes and more will be available for players to purchase.
In-Game Event Possibilities
Epic Games has hosted in-game Star Wars events in the past, including a live scene from The Rise of Skywalker in 2019. A new in-game event would likely occur to promote the launch of the Star Wars content. Possibilities include a scene from an upcoming Disney+ Star Wars series like Obi-Wan Kenobi or Andor, a hologram message from a character like Rey or Finn, or a mini-quest with Star Wars themed rewards.
While the specific details of the content drop remain unknown, Star Wars fans and Fortnite players can expect an exciting collection of new cosmetics and possibly an in-game event to look forward to in early May. The force will be strong in Fortnite once again, allowing players to represent their favorite characters from a galaxy far, far away.
