Since 2019, Star Wars crossovers have been quite popular in Fortnite among both fans of the iconic franchise and players alike. The first-ever collab took place with the release of Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker and added Rey and Finn skins with mythic Lightsaber weapons in the game.
Ever since then, yearly Star Wars crossovers have taken place in Fortnite, bringing iconic characters like The Mandalorian, Luke Skywalker, Darth Maul, Darth Vader, and more to the game.
However, in 2024, for the fourth time, a new installment of a Star Wars collab has been announced and it right so happens ahead of Star Wars Day before the fourth of May.
Here’s everything we know about the new Star Wars x Fortnite collab in 2024.
