Fortnite Reveals Chewbacca Skin

Fortnite will be introducing more Star Wars characters with this year's annual May the Fourth event. Fortnite is a highly versatile game when it comes to cosmetics. While gamers might see intimidating figures, such as Predator or Hades, roaming the vast island for victims, they'll come across adorable skins like Meowscles and Bush Ranger just as often.

The 2024 Star Wars x Fortnite collab was announced on April 15, and since then, players have been keeping an eye out for more information. First, Epic disclosed that Cantina Band would be coming to the game thanks to Fortnite Festival, but of course, fans knew more would be coming. Since then, leaks and teasers have been gradually released, and they pointed in the direction of Chewbacca finally joining the roster of skins available in Fortnite. On April 25, a Fortnite Chewbacca LEGO character was revealed, and four days later, Epic finally showed fans the anticipated Chewbacca skin for the Battle Royale mode.

It seems that Chewbacca will play an important role in this upcoming Star Wars event in Fortnite, as leaks indicate his bowcaster will become available as a Mythic weapon in Battle Royale. On top of this, the Olympian Boss's items and weapons will also return. Players can expect these weapons to replace the Avatar: The
