Get ready for the most epic collaboration in gaming history: Fortnite is about to get a massive injection of Star Wars, because who doesn’t love a good lightsaber battle in the middle of a building fight? 🤣💫 It’s like the ultimate mashup of sci-fi and… well, more sci-fi. Starting on May 1, a selection of different Star Wars experiences will be available, because one Star Wars experience just isn’t enough. I mean, who needs a social life when you can have multiple Star Wars experiences, right? 🤷♀️
Epic Games has announced that, starting on May 1, a selection of different Star Wars experiences will be available, in addition to the hundreds of islands that have already been created using the game’s official Star Wars toolkit. Because, you know, the game was missing a little something – a galaxy of Star Wars experiences, including a Darth Vader horror game 🤖. I mean, who doesn’t love a good horror game, especially when it involves running away from Darth Vader? 😱 It’s like the ultimate stress test: can you survive a Star Wars horror game? 🤔
In case you’re wondering what these experiences entail, let me break it down for you: three new games will be available starting May 1, and there’s seemingly no cutoff date at this point, because why would you ever want to stop playing Star Wars games? 🤷♀️ The highlight, of course, is a horror-esque experience where you have to escape from Darth Vader, because who doesn’t love a good game of “don’t get caught by the Sith Lord”? 🏃♀️ Here are the games and their access codes, just in case you want to join the fun:
- Galactic Siege (developed with JOGO Studios, island code: 5003-9856-3648) – Fight in large-scale PvP class-based battles with 10v10 combat across iconic Star Wars planets, because what’s more fun than shooting your friends in space? 🚀
- Escape Vader (made with Beyond Creative, island code: 7285-4185-5428) – Hide, run, and try to survive in this 4-player co-op game where you attempt to escape the terrifying Sith Lord, Darth Vader, because who doesn’t love a good game of hide-and-seek with a villain? 🎃
- Droid Tycoon (created with FOAD, island code: 7865-8305-9184) – Build and customize droids using authentic Star Wars blueprints, manage your workshop and factory systems, and unlock rare components and special missions, because who doesn’t love building their own droid army? 🤖
In addition to these new experiences, a watch party for Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu will take place on May 19, at 10 am ET, because who doesn’t love a good watch party? 🎉 Players will get a special message from Jon Favreau and an exclusive 10-minute sneak peek of the film, which opens in theatres on May 22, because who doesn’t love a good sneak peek? 🍿 Then, finally, a Q&A with Jon Favreau on May 26, because who doesn’t love a good Q&A session? 🤔
If that wasn’t enough to satiate your appetite, new and returning Star Wars outfits and items will rotate through the shop the entire month of May, because who doesn’t love a little retail therapy? 🛍️ Below you can see Epic’s release graphic for the entire month, just in case you want to plan your shopping spree 📅.
And, finally, Fortnite is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, PC, iOS, and Android, because who doesn’t love playing Fortnite on every device possible? 🤩 So, what are you waiting for? Join the Star Wars fun in Fortnite and may the force be with you 🚀! 🎮💻🎉
