May the 4th : Fortnite Reveals Star Wars Day Collaboration

Check out their reveal for Anakin, Padme, Maul, and more in the Fornite x Star Wars Collaboration trailer:

The official description reads:

Fortnite is celebrating May 4 with a plethora of Star Wars content coming to the hit battle royale. Choose your trainers from Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker as your Jedi trainers or Darth Maul as your Sith trainer and show your opponents the Jedi way or the dark side. Force abilities have also made their way to the game, including Force Push, Force Pull, and Force Throw.

 Complete Quests earn cosmetic rewards, purchase the Premium Reward Track Upgrade, and more. The Star Wars Find the Force event will also have skins for purchase, including Anakin Skywalker, Padme Amidala, Darth Maul, and Clone Trooper, starting now and running until May 23.

Fortnite has introduced several Star Wars elements over the years, but this event gives us Anakin Skywalker, Padme Amidala, Darth Maul, and Clone Troopers. The devs even modified the gliders to look like Padme’s chrome ship from the movies.

Hopefully, we get more SW collaborations down the line; fingers crossed, we don’t have to wait until 2025 to get more Rey Skywalker content.

The Star Wars crossover runs until May 23. Fortnite is now available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4|5, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile.
