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. Interestingly, the upcoming collaboration will also bring the first-ever LEGO Fortnite Battle Pass.
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 two days, 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.
These are the new and returning weapons that will come to Fortnite Battle Royale:
- Lightsabers
- Wookie Explosive Bowcaster
- E-11 Blasters
Epic has revealed many things about the upcoming collaboration, and we know that it will bring content for every major game mode. LEGO Fortnite will get some Star Wars skins and the first Battle Pass, which includes many new buildings. Chewbacca, one of the franchise’s most popular characters, will come with the premium pass, and you can unlock it for 1,4000 V-Bucks.
Lando Calrissian will also come to Fortnite, along with a young Anakin Skywalker. These skins will likely available in the Item Shop.
Furthermore, the game developer teased the addition of the Star Wars theme to the Fortnite Festival, as well as a couple of new instruments. Finally, Rocket Racing will receive several Star Wars-themed cosmetics with the next update.
