Star Wars Outlaws devs say the game's reputation system is designed to shape the world around protagonist Kay Vess, rather than the story that you're playing through.

Star Wars and Fortnite have always enjoyed a fruitful partnership, but now Disney’s put its sizeable bank balance behind Epic Games, there was always the possibility of a greater collaboration. And after weeks of teasing, that’s exactly what’s been announced. Beginning from 3rd May, the eve of Star Wars Day, you can expect an epic collaboration with George Lucas’ sci-fi series which will extend to virtually all aspects of the culturally colossal video game platform.
LEGO Fortnite will probably benefit the most from the crossover, as there’ll be a new map named Rebel Village where you’ll be tasked with crafting new Star Wars items, fighting off Rebels with Lightsabers, and much more. Crucially, there’ll be a separate Battle Pass specifically for this mode which will see you unlock builds and kits inspired by Mos Eisley and its iconic cantina.
Elsewhere, in Battle Royale you’ll be able to team up with Chewbacca, while the aforementioned Mos Eisley Cantina will be coming to Fortnite Festival as a new Jam Stage, and various Star Wars liveries will be added to Rocket Racing. Meanwhile, there’ll be fresh skins in the Item Shop, including one inspired by Lando Calrissian.

Wake me up once these tie-ins with Fortnite are seen as lame.
Surely by the time Star Wars does it we are nearly there...
@nocdaes Never underestimate the Star Wars fans and their ability to nosh off anything Star Wars related.
«Okay guys, we're going to introduce a brand new character.»
«Oh my god, it's happening!»
«He's just an ordinary guy, with absolutely zero defining traits.»
«Wow, this is amazing. So inspiring!»
«His name will be John Doe.»
«Whoa, what an interesting name! They've put so much thought into that!»
I can't wait to play as Spock.
Wonder if they'll use it to release vital plot points about upcoming movies, as it went down SO well last time.
@get2sammyb " fighting off Rebels "
Um, are you at all familiar w/ Star Wars or at the very least even watch the Lego Fortnite SW trailer?

You're not fighting off the Rebels, you're joining the Rebels to help them fight off the Empire. I'll just give ya the benefit of the doubt on this one and call it a typo.

Songs of Travel is an animated graphic novel coming to Android on May 9th. It tells the stories of five migrants – Light, Vân, Michele, Hasan, and Olya – each on a journey to build a new life in Europe. Through their experiences, the game explores themes of hope, dreams, and what we hold dear.
Fall Guys has officially announced the newest crossover content coming to the competitive platformer, adding in a plethora of new skins based on the Star Wars franchise. Much like Epic Games' Fortnite, the platformer from developer Mediatonic has become renowned for the wide variety of media crossovers featured within the game. Fall Guys has crossed over with games like Final Fantasy 14 and Death Stranding, as well as several movie and TV franchises and even the WWE. Now, the game's next crossover will welcome one of sci-fi's most iconic brands to the game.
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.
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.
Lucy's already iconic backpack from Amazon's Fallout adaptation is now up for pre-order at UK retailer Game (thanks VGC), and for just £200, you can proudly proclaim your Vault-Dweller status to the world. The bag, which is a replica of the in-show prop, sports the Vault 33 logo and comes equipped with a thick yellow fleece blanket «to complete the authentic look of the bag as seen in the show”.

Skyrim was 2011. Fallout 4 was 2015. Starfield was 2023. Development cycles are growing longer all across the industry, but for Bethesda in particular, it's felt like the company has really struggled to create a consistent pipeline — especially in the last decade or so. This is even more apparent when you factor in projects like The Elder Scrolls 6, which was barely a concept when it was first announced in 2018.
The official release date trailer of Athenian Rhapsody, uploaded on YouTube, is a hilarious farce. It centers on our wide-eyed hero, who discovers that Athenian Rhapsody is about to launch after a dubious snack while out on a nature stroll! A creepy-smiled mushroom who can’t wait to reveal the release date but ends up clogging the toilet instead.
Star Wars returns to Fortnite on May 3, one day before the annual May 4 Star Wars celebrations.
A new mod for Starfield is bridging the gap between Bethesda's space-faring RPG and the Star Wars universe by bringing a classic spaceship from the movies to the game. While there are a lot of options for players wanting to build their own ship in Starfield, this mod adds 15 new custom-made parts, which can either be assembled to recreate the classic ship or be incorporated into other ship designs.
