Fortnite has once again raised the bar for crossover events with its highly anticipated Star Wars collaboration. This season, players are treated to brand-new experiences, visuals, and rewards that transform the island into a galactic battleground. Whether you’re a long-time Fortnite fan or a newcomer drawn by the Star Wars universe, there’s something for everyone to explore and enjoy.
This isn’t just another in-game event. Epic Games has called it the "Biggest Star Wars Collaboration Ever" [Epic Games]. The new season introduces fresh content, including iconic Star Wars skins, unique locations, and exclusive vehicles to give every match a galactic twist.
Players can drop into revamped points of interest, like the First Order base, Outpost Enclave, and the Resistance base complete with X-Wings. The map updates continue as the season progresses, keeping gameplay dynamic and engaging.
One of the most exciting additions is the ability to fly X-Wings, bringing classic Star Wars dogfights to Fortnite. You can also find special holograms across the island. Interact with Rey’s hologram for Force Push, or hunt down Emperor Palpatine’s hologram to unleash Force Lightning upon your rivals.
These new powers add depth to gameplay and keep every match unpredictable. Lightsabers, another fan-favorite, have also returned. Epic Games promises frequent map updates, including the opportunity to control a Star Destroyer’s turbolaser [The Verge].
A new Battle Pass arrives alongside the Star Wars season, packed with exclusive skins and incredible rewards. Players can unlock Poe Dameron, Emperor Palpatine, and the formidable General Grievous. There are also creative mashup skins such as a Jedi-Sith version of Evie and a unique Wookiee Team Leader skin.
Exciting cosmetic rewards extend beyond skins. You’ll find themed gliders like the X-Wing and even a floating senate pod. The pass spans 50 tiers, with additional bonus rewards and a secret set waiting to be revealed. The Star Wars Battle Pass is available for 1000 V-Bucks, or you can access it with a Fortnite Crew subscription [GameSpot].
This Star Wars event offers more than just new cosmetics. On June 7th, Fortnite will host a massive live event, inviting players to challenge Emperor Palpatine directly. Expect fresh weekly challenges, dynamic character placements, and evolving map features throughout the season.
Epic Games and Disney are rewarding fans who link their Epic and MyDisney accounts with a free Stormtrooper outfit, marking the start of a larger partnership planned for the Fortnite universe.
Fortnite has consistently led the way in hosting memorable crossover events that bring new energy to the game. This Star Wars collaboration builds on that legacy, offering fans incredible new ways to play, collect skins, and experience their favorite galaxy far, far away.
Whether you’re collecting every skin, competing for challenges, or just jumping in for the action, this season is a can’t-miss opportunity.
