Star Wars in LEGO Fortnite: What does the new crossover bring?
02.05.2024 - 20:57 / radiotimes.com
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.
As the real-life LEGO Star Wars range celebrates its 25th birthday, it just makes sense for LEGO Fortnite to get involved in the party.
After all, Disney has made a big investment in Epic Games recently, making Fortnite and Star Wars even closer than they already were.
So, when does the LEGO Fortnite Star Wars event kick off, and what Star Wars goodies should we expect from the update? Read on to learn more!
The LEGO Fortnite Star Wars event will begin on Friday 3rd May 2024, as part of an overarching Fortnite Star Wars event that will also impact Battle Royale, Fortnite Festival, Rocket Racing and the Item Shop.
This might be a day earlier than you expected, with May the 4th (be with you) often being a fan-favourite date on which companies release Star Wars content.
Fortnite will enter a period of downtime beforehand. The v29.40 update will patch in the new Star Wars content, which should hopefully be live in the UK by 2pm BST on 3rd May 2024.
As the official Fortnite blog puts it: «The Galactic Empire is in hot pursuit of a band of Rebels, who need your help! The Empire and Rebels are unknowingly heading to a rift to your world, which will lead them to a new island in your world.»
The arrival of Star Wars characters into the LEGO Fortnite universe has a bunch of different consequences, which we'll explain below!
The new Star Wars Island is home to a Rebel Village, which you will be able to repair and improve after the Empire crashes into your LEGO Fortnite world.
The village has 10 levels of progress for you to complete, and you should be able to find the village using some Macrobinoculars from the crash site. Once you've got to know the Rebels at the base, they'll lead you on a quest to defeat some baddies from the Empire.
By helping the Rebels to build up their village, you'll also unlock the ability to use lightsabers in LEGO Fortnite. These elegant weapons also make powerful tools, but in the world of LEGO Fortnite they will need to recharge after combat.
