OMG! 😱 Epic Games is apparently unleashing a “torrent” of info about their next *Fortnite* collab with *Star Wars*. Get ready for… wait for it… “the BIGGEST *Star Wars* collaboration EVER!” I know, I know, you’re already hyperventilating with excitement. I mean, who wouldn’t be thrilled about more lightsabers and Jar Jar Binks skins in a game that’s already overflowing with them? 🙄
So, after some *Star Wars* Celebration (because apparently, *Star Wars* needs more celebrations), *Fortnite: GALACTIC BATTLE* is dropping on May 2nd. Prepare for new *Star Wars* content and gameplay in Battle Royale! But hold on, it gets better! 🤩 Every week, they’ll be releasing even MORE content! As if we don’t have enough digital clutter already. And if you’re REALLY desperate for *Star Wars* overload, you can teleport to a special island in *Fortnite* to watch the new animated series, *Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld*, TWO WHOLE DAYS before it hits Disney+! Because waiting two days is clearly an unbearable hardship. 🙄 Seriously, who needs real life when you can live and breathe *Star Wars* inside a video game?
The *Star Wars* Watch Party island (because apparently, watching *Star Wars* alone is just too sad) will be live on May 2nd at 10:00 a.m. ET. Get ready to witness the first two episodes of Lucasfilm Animation’s new masterpiece, *Star Wars*: *Tales of the Underworld*. I’m sure it’ll be a groundbreaking, emotionally resonant experience that will change the way you think about… well, probably nothing. 🤷♀️
Sean Shoptaw, the Executive Vice President of Disney Games & Digital Entertainment (try saying that five times fast), is quoted as saying some corporate buzzword nonsense about “premiering a show inside a game” and “building the next era of digital entertainment.” Translation: “We want your money, and we’ll do whatever it takes to get it!” 🤑 He also claims we’re “just beginning to tap into what’s possible.” Yeah, like more microtransactions and pointless collaborations. 🙄
But wait, there’s MORE! 🎉 Disney+ and Epic Games are adding “connected account features”! If you link your Epic Games and MyDisney accounts (because why not give them even MORE of your data?), you’ll unlock a First Order Stormtrooper Outfit in *Fortnite*! So you can finally live out your dream of being a faceless cog in an evil empire. How inspiring! 🥲 The island code is 2124-6713-8076, in case you can’t handle the suspense of actually searching for it.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to link your accounts, because apparently, people need instructions for everything these days:
- Sign in to your Epic account (because you definitely have one).
- Go to Apps and Accounts (because that’s where all the magic happens).
- Click “Connect” on the MyDisney Account option (because synergy!).
- Follow the instructions (because you’re clearly incapable of independent thought).
Some fans won’t be allowed to link accounts, because Disney and Epic clearly have some arbitrary rules to follow. Check the official site for more information, because I’m not doing your homework for you. 🙄
The *Star Wars Fortnite* launch party (yes, it’s a PARTY!) starts on May 2nd at 10:00 a.m. EST. Head to the official Epic Games release for more info on how to attend. I’m sure it’ll be a life-changing experience filled with excitement, wonder, and probably a lot of screaming children. 🤪 Good luck surviving it! 🚀
