Fortnite fans rejoice! Leaks suggest a fresh Star Wars event is on the horizon, bringing new Mandalorian-themed content to the popular battle royale game.
ShiinaBR, a reputable Fortnite leaker, revealed intel on the upcoming event. The centrepiece appears to be a new Mandalorian vehicle skin. This skin will be usable in both Fortnite and Rocket League, suggesting a collaborative effort between Epic Games' titles similar to the Lamborghini. The leak speculates a May 4th release date, coinciding with Star Wars Day.
This wouldn't be the first time Star Wars has graced Fortnite. Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 featured Ahsoka Tano as a Battle Pass skin, followed by the return of classic characters like Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Luke Skywalker to the item shop.
Fortnite players have also embraced the Star Wars universe through creative endeavours, with one dedicated player constructing an impressive Death Star and Star Destroyer in LEGO Fortnite.
Considering past Star Wars Days in Fortnite, players can likely anticipate the return of lightsabers, blasters, and other franchise-themed weapons. Additionally, announcements or reveals for other Star Wars games might surface, considering the numerous titles currently in development.
May 4th is also likely to see sales on older Star Wars titles, offering a perfect opportunity for fans to expand their galactic collections.
While Star Wars is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for Fortnite, it's not the only spacefaring franchise getting love. The recent release of a Guardians of the Galaxy Pack, featuring playable skins for Drax, Mantis, and Groot, demonstrates Epic Games' commitment to diverse crossover experiences.
This variety ensures there's something for everyone to enjoy on Fortnite's ever-evolving battle royale island.
