Fortnite dev strongly hints more Star Wars characters are coming
techradar.comFortnite developer Epic Games may have cheekily teased that more Star Wars characters could be arriving in the game's next season, as evidenced by a screenshot taken from the recent State of Unreal live stream and a less-than-subtle hint from Epic Games' chief creative officer Donald Mustard's Twitter account.
As PCGamesN(opens in new tab) reports, Twitter user polaq was able to grab a screenshot from the Unreal Engine 5 livestream showing a list of Fortnite-related folders displayed on a developer's monitor. The highlight of the screenshot is the 'C3S3_VADER' folder, which could hint that iconic Star Wars villain Darth Vader is on his way to the ever-popular battle royale.
The initial image grabbed by polaq is a touch blurry, but notable Fortnite Twitter account iFireMonkey presented a much clearer screenshot of the folders, which you can view below.
