In honor of Star Wars Day, Fortnite is bringing the beloved franchise back into its gaming universe with a slew of new experiences, including a first-ever Star Wars Battle Royale season, new LEGO Fortnite missions, and more.
The inaugural Fortnite: GALACTIC BATTLE will see a full-blown Imperial takeover with new and returning weapons, abilities, and vehicles from different Star Wars eras. Players can fly Imperial TIE fighters, find and train hologram Rey to unlock Blue Lightsabers, learn skills like Force Push, and fight against Darth Vader Samurai to earn an exclusive red-colored weapon, among many other abilities. Notably, players can earn XP to move through The Star Wars Battle Pass to gain access to premium in-game rewards.
A Star Wars Festival is also happening in LEGO Fortnite Brick Life, where users can take on a brand-new mission from Rebel Evie to win the Lightsaber Bench. Additionally, the festival grounds host a new First Order LEGO Pass, which includes Captain Phasma, the First Order Built Kits, and more features.
Star Wars also returns to Rocket League with a limited-time Car Wars mode, in which players can drop into 2v2 gameplay. G-Force Frenzy, the 3v3 mode that allows players to blast unlimited boosts, is also back in full force.
Let the games begin, and May the 4th be with you.
