Star Wars has appeared in Fortnite a few times now, from Darth Vader appearing in a Battle Pass to a variety of different skins being available in the shop. A new event will soon begin in the game, celebrating the galaxy far, far away.
Last year, Fortnite held a similar event, celebrating the prequel trilogy and introducing a few skins, including the fan favorite Darth Maul. Keep reading for everything we know so far, including when the event is set to launch and any leaks we have seen.
Star Wars Fortnite Event Release Date
The latest Star Wars event will arrive in Fortnite on Friday, May 3, to coincide with May the 4th, when many fans often celebrate the films. It’s set to be a whole event, replacing the recently introduced Avatar event.
The official announcement trailer also mentioned the other game modes being included, like Festival and LEGO, so there will be plenty of new content to enjoy in-game.
Star Wars Leaks Coming Forever
A few things have leaked so far from popular leaker HYPEX, who is typically pretty good; however, with all leaks, it’s worth noting they may be wrong or even change. Here’s what’s been leaked so far:
- AWR Trooper Skin
- Lightsabers and Force Abilities set to return
- Wookie Bowcaster weapon
- Chewbacca Skin
- Rebel Leia Organa Skin
In addition to the above, it’s safe to assume many of the skins previously released in the game will be arriving, too.
