The upcoming Fortnite collaboration with Star Wars might feature Chewbacca, a highly anticipated character, as a cosmetic skin. Fortnite has been celebrating May the Fourth in-game for the past few years. In 2023, Epic Games took it up a notch; Fortnite hosted a major Star Wars crossover event called Find the Force, and it even featured its own event pass with themed cosmetic rewards and quests.
This year's annual Star Wars Fortnite event was recently announced. Players can expect the next May the Fourth collaboration to go live on May 3. Fortnite Festival teased the release of the Cantina Band track as an in-game jam track and emote, but that's about all the community knows about what's coming. Dataminers are hard at work, trying to figure out what's to come, but so far, very little has been confirmed. As the event's release date gets closer, more will certainly be revealed. For now, fans have to make do with the few clues they're given.
When the collaboration teaser was released, the official LEGO account replied to Fortnite with «excited Wookiee noises.» Several players immediately questioned if this was related to a Wookie skin or perhaps the leaked Wookie Bowcaster mythic weapon. One of the fans who commented said «Chewbacca Conformed!?!», and the LEGO account replied «Conformed.» Despite the silly interaction, this means that it is very likely that a Chewbacca skin will be made available once the Star Wars event goes live. This means that fans will probably be able to rock their favorite character while wielding a Wookie Bowcaster.
It is likely that several Star Wars items, such as the force abilities and lightsaber melee weapons, will return to Fortnite once again. It is impossible to know the magnitude of the event at the moment. However, it is likely that it won't include as much content as the Find the Force event, given that players will need to recover after the Avatar event.
The Star Wars collab kicks off on May 3, which is when the Avatar: The Last Airbender Elements event comes to an end. There is no doubt that players will have plenty to keep themselves busy for the remainder of Chapter 5 Season 2.
Fortnite is a massively popular game that has several modes, the most famous of which is the online battle royale mode. In this mode, players collect items, build structures, and battle it out to be the ultimate victor.

It's Star Wars Day and if you're planning on celebrating your fandom by playing some video games set in a galaxy far, far away, you've got a lot of options. If you'd prefer to do that without spending any money, you still have options, and they're better options than you might think. Whether you game on Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or both, each platform has offered up the chance to take two of the very best Star Wars games for a spin this weekend to celebrate May 4.
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.
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.
In the biggest LEGO Fortnite collaboration to date, characters and items from Star Wars are coming to the brick-based Fortnite spin-off later this week.
The long-delayed Star Wars: Hunters finally has a new release date. Back in 2021, Lucasfilm Games and developer Zynga announced Star Wars: Hunters, a squad-based arena shooter set after the fall of the Galactic Empire at the end of the original Star Wars movie trilogy. Players can choose from characters like Rieve, a dark-side-empowered warrior, a lightsaber-wielding droid called J-3DI, and even Utooni, a pair of junk-scavenging Jawas stacked together. Each of these characters has their own unique abilities, which will come in handy during frantic battles across several classic Star Wars locations.
After four long years of waiting, it seems that Fortnite players in the European Union will soon be able to enjoy the game across all Apple mobile devices. Fortnite's Battle Royale game mode was released in September 2017, and not too long after, it became available on mobile devices. To promote Fortnite's mobile version, Epic Games and Samsung joined forces in 2018 and gave away the Galaxy skin for anyone who played the game on a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 or a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4. Many players ended up downloading Fortnite on their mobile devices, not only for practical reasons but also so they could check out the Item Shop or the Quests tab while away from their other devices.
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.
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.
A new studio helmed by StarCraft 2 multiplayer lead David Kim has teased its debut RTS project, which it says will be revealed during Summer Game Fest in June.
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.
