Fortnite will be introducing more Star Wars characters with this year's annual May the Fourth event. Fortnite is a highly versatile game when it comes to cosmetics. While gamers might see intimidating figures, such as Predator or Hades, roaming the vast island for victims, they'll come across adorable skins like Meowscles and Bush Ranger just as often. If there's one thing Fortnite fans like, it's brand-new cosmetic items, especially if they're related to their favorite franchises.
In early December, when Fortnite Season OG came to an end and Chapter 5 started, several game modes were introduced, and this made way for another type of collaboration. For example, Fortnite Festival made it possible to incorporate popular music hits into Fortnite, which immediately proved to be a big success. However, this isn't just about new collabs, as it also allows returning franchises to broaden the type of content that they would normally bring to the game for an event; this will be clear with the start of this year's annual Star Wars event starting May 3.
The 2024 Star Wars x Fortnite collab was announced on April 15, and since then, players have been keeping an eye out for more information. First, Epic disclosed that Cantina Band would be coming to the game thanks to Fortnite Festival, but of course, fans knew more would be coming. Since then, leaks and teasers have been gradually released, and they pointed in the direction of Chewbacca finally joining the roster of skins available in Fortnite. On April 25, a Fortnite Chewbacca LEGO character was revealed, and four days later, Epic finally showed fans the anticipated Chewbacca skin for the Battle Royale mode.
It seems that Chewbacca will play an important role in this upcoming Star Wars event in Fortnite, as leaks indicate his bowcaster will become available as a Mythic weapon in Battle Royale. On top of this, the Olympian Boss's items and weapons will also return. Players can expect these weapons to replace the Avatar: The Last Airbender Mythics in Fortnite.
Besides Chewbacca, several other details have been revealed in the past few days. Lando Calrissian will be brought to Fortnite alongside fans' favorite Wookie. On top of this, Lightsabers will be added to LEGO Fortnite once the event goes live. Until then, players have to work hard to complete the Elements Pass, as once the Star Wars event goes live, it will become permanently unavailable.
