Epic Games is releasing a new Fortnite Star Wars crossover just in time for the May 4th celebrations, and it's bringing new map areas for you to explore, new character skins, and more.
This won't be Fortnite's first Star Wars crossover; the two have clashed lightsabers on a number of prior occasions, but this one's got some all-new stuff for you to enjoy. First up, you'll find four new Star Wars-themed map areas to explore: the First Order Base, the Outpost Enclave, the Resistance Base, and Vader Samurai's Solitude, a modified version of the Shogun's Solitude area.
The new lightsaber weapon should give you new opportunities to get up close and personal with your enemies, although you'll have to train in the Force to use one (or loot one off a dead player, of course).
New character skins will also be added in this Fortnite Star Wars crossover, including the likes of the truly terrifying Darth Jar Jar, an alternate interpretation of everyone's (least) favorite Gungan.
Others include Mace Windu, a Mandalorian you can customize, and General Grievous, and any Fortnite event that allows you to play as General Grievous is automatically above criticism. I don't make the rules....
