Fortnite players aren't too happy about this year's Star Wars event, as they think that there's not enough content added to the Battle Royale mode compared to how much has been put into Lego Fortnite.

Star Wars is making its return to Fortnite next month for May the Fourth, bringing with it new cosmetics and limited-time quests.
Check out the trailer for the new event below.
This isn’t the first time Star Wars has appeared in Epic’s popular battle royale, with past collaborations adding Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker outfits along with plenty of other crossover goodies. It’s become a tradition for the franchise to reappear each May.
The new Star Wars event will begin on May 3. While it’s unclear what will be added during the limited-time collab, leaks are pointing towards the addition of the Cantina Band as a jam track and a Wookie Bowcaster weapon. A Leia skin also seems to be in the works.
Data miners have recently hinted at the possibility of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth skins or content inspired by the Persona series coming to Fortnite in the future.
Fortnite is available to play on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. It’s also available on iOS and Android devices. Chapter 5 Season 2 began on March 8 and runs through May 24, featuring familiar faces from Greek mythology. Avatar: The Last Airbender recently appeared in the title, with many players eager to snag Korra’s outfit.
Since the battle royale’s initial release in early access in 2017, the free-to-play title has generated over $26 billion in revenue. Recently, Fortnite was nominated for Evolving Game and EE Game of the Year at the 20th British Academy Games Awards.
Fortnite players aren't too happy about this year's Star Wars event, as they think that there's not enough content added to the Battle Royale mode compared to how much has been put into Lego Fortnite.
Friday marks the beginning of another x crossover, with content coming to Battle Royale, Lego, Festival, and Rocket Racing. Players can rescue Chewbacca, battle the Empire, Battle Royle, and form a band in the Mos Eisley Cantina. The crossover also adds new weapons, quests, outfits, and more.
Fortnite's yearly Star Wars update is here and it brings with it a new Wookie Bowcaster weapon, Lightsabers in Lego Fortnite, and a Yoda Backbling, but the real highlight is the return of the Olympic Mythics.
Happy May 3rd, Battlestar Galactica fans! Remember what John Dune said about living long and prospering? He said: Oh, look, objectively excellent dogfighter Star Wars: Squadrons is under two quid on Steam. As Edwin pointed out to me, that’s about the price of a third of latte, although he does pay London prices. Also, Edwin, are you going around trying to buy the dregs of people’s lattes? I cannot judge. Were it in short supply, I too would debase myself for caffeine in an instant.
Thank your own personal deity—possibly C-3PO as worshipped by Ewoks—it's Friday! Obviously, the two biggest headliners are those freebies—LEGO Star Wars III and Tomb Raider [2013]. Whip up a free (and easily ditched) Amazon Prime Gaming subscription to have and to hold them forever in your GOG library. I recently replayed Lara's reboot as part of the ongoing gaming education of my eldest. Still stands up as a well-Crofted action adventure.
Epic has announced a new Fortnite and Star Wars crossover event.
Star Wars returns to Fortnite on May 3, one day before the annual May 4 Star Wars celebrations.
The Force is going to be strong with Fortnite in the very near future, with yet another Star Wars event due to kick off in the game.
Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection has received a new update focused on fixing many of the issues the game launched with. Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection is a remastered collection of the first two releases in the Battlefront series, something that fans have been requesting for a long time. Although there were Star Wars fans who enjoyed the Battlefront reboot, many of these gamers have cited nostalgia for the classic Star Wars Battlefront games, and developer Aspyr released the collection on March 14, 2024.
A third entry in Electronic Arts and developer Respawn Entertainment's Star Wars Jedi series seems to have been confirmed by a job listing looking for a Senior Game Writer. After several years of fumbling its exclusive Star Wars license with the Battlefront games, Respawn Entertainment's third-person action Soulslike Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order pleasantly surprised fans in 2019. Its follow-up, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, was released about a year ago to rave reviews despite its rocky technical launch and performance issues, which have since been fixed. Survivor's impeccable storytelling, intricate level design, and challenging lightsaber combat boosted it into the conversation of 2023's best games.
Star Wars’s sequel trilogyhas gotten its fair share of criticism from fans over the years, and one social media user has come to the defense of the movies, flipping the narrative around one oft-clowned plot point from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment are promising an expansive open world experience with the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws, which is being billed as the ultimate scoundrel fantasy, and though that will involve a lot of juggling of different criminal syndicates and maintaining your reputation with each different faction, that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to find the time to sit down and, say, play some cards.
