A Galaxy of New Star Wars Games are Coming to Fortnite – More than Ever Before[]
For years, Epic Games, Disney and Lucasfilm have created STAR WARS experiences in Fortnite, from limited-time events to entire Battle Royale seasons. Now developers are building STAR WARS games in Fortnite using the official STAR WARS toolkit, complete with iconic characters, environments, vehicles and assets from Lucasfilm.
Starting May 1, hundreds of these islands will go live and Fortnite will be the only place where you can come together with friends to race tauntauns through icy tracks, run a bustling cantina on Tatooine, pilot a T-65B X-wing starfighter, and go on imaginative Star Wars adventures.
