Check out the brand new Fortnite x Star Wars 2024 gameplay trailer that Epic just released below:
Rebel Adventure LEGO Pass
At the epicentre of this cosmic collaboration lies the “Rebel Adventure” LEGO Pass for LEGO Fortnite.
Running until July 23rd, this pass promises to unlock a fantastic collection of Star Wars-inspired builds, decor, and an exclusive Chewbacca skin that can be used across the entire Fortnite ecosystem.
Players can choose to embark on this adventure through the free track, earning a selection of themed rewards simply by playing the game.
However, for those seeking an even more immersive experience, the premium track beckons with a wealth of additional content, including the coveted Chewbacca skin, available immediately upon purchase without the need to engage in LEGO Fortnite gameplay.
LEGO Fortnite Transforms into a Star Wars Battleground
As the Empire unleashes its malevolent forces upon the LEGO Fortnite worlds, players will find themselves caught in the crosshairs of an interstellar conflict.
Rebel forces crash-land nearby, seeking refuge and assistance in their fight against the Imperial invaders.
It falls upon the players to aid the Rebels, completing quests and utilising iconic Star Wars tools like macrobinoculars and lightsabers to turn the tide.
The introduction of the Rebel Workbench empowers players to craft legendary weaponry, including the DL-44 blaster pistol, the fearsome Wookiee Bowcaster, and the explosive Thermal Detonator grenade.
These powerful armaments will persist beyond the May the 4th event, ensuring a lasting Star Wars presence in the LEGO Fortnite universe.
Battle Royale Becomes a Galactic Warzone
The Star Wars influence extends far beyond the confines of the LEGO version, as Battle Royale mode undergoes a galactic transformation.
Legendary villain Darth Vader makes a return to the island, ready to engage in epic combat.
Players can fight the Sith Lord for possession of his iconic red lightsaber, a formidable weapon capable of deflecting incoming fire and delivering devastating strikes.
Stormtrooper outposts, complete with their signature E-11 blaster rifles, dot the landscape, adding an extra layer of challenge and immersion.
These blaster rifles although off a lot of nostalgia and fun, are not very powerful and are actually one of the most underpowered weapons in the entire weapon pool.
But the true highlight of this mode lies in the rescue mission to free Chewbacca from Imperial captivity.
Once liberated, the loyal Wookiee warrior will owe a life-debt to his saviour, fighting alongside them until the bitter end, wielding his trusty Wookiee Bowcaster.
Quests and challenges abound, with players able to earn the free AWR Trooper Pack back bling as a reward for their heroic efforts.
Rocket Racing and Fortnite Festival Join the Celebration
The Star Wars festivities extend even to the high-octane world of Rocket Racing and the rhythmic beats of Fortnite Festival.
In Rocket Racing, players can acquire the Beskar car bundle, inspired by the iconic Mandalorian armour of Din Djarin.
This bundle includes additional decals and wheels themed around characters from the Star Wars television universe, such as Bo-Katan, Sabine Wren, the Armorer, and Boba Fett.
What’s more, these cosmetic items will be cross-compatible with Rocket League, allowing players to seamlessly transition between titles while retaining their Star Wars flair.
For those seeking free rewards, Rocket Racing offers a pair of Star Wars-themed decals for the Octane and a drift trail, all unlockable through the completion of Star Wars quests within the game mode.
Fortnite Festival embraces the spirit of the iconic sci-fi series with the addition of the iconic Cantina Band jam track, transporting players to the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is Mos Eisley.
Accompanying this musical addition are the Endorian Drum Kit and the Nalargon Keytar musical instruments, available for purchase in the item shop.
However, players can also earn the free Seven-string Hallikset Guitar by completing Star Wars-themed festival quests.
A Galaxy of New Cosmetics
Beyond the immersive gameplay experiences, Fortnite’s May the 4th celebration extends to a vast array of new Star Wars cosmetics.
The item shop will feature three new Star Wars skins: Lando Calrissian, Dagobah Luke Skywalker, and the formidable AWR Trooper, each with their own LEGO-inspired styles.
Chewbacca’s skin, while available through the premium track of the LEGO Pass, can also be acquired separately for those who prefer not to engage with LEGO gameplay.
As the force awakens within Fortnite, players are invited to immerse themselves in a truly epic celebration of the Star Wars universe.
