Fortnite's New Season Confirms Darth Vader And Adds Mushrooms

Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 3 is now officially underway, and players can wreak havoc on The Island as the dreaded Darth Vader of Star Wars fame. Epic’s blockbuster battle royale title has seen more than its fair share of guest characters and unlockable content from other games, movies, and comics, including from the Star Wars franchise. Last month’s Star Wars Day celebrations on May The Fourth saw the return of Fortnite's lightsaber weapons, and famed Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi was added as a playable character just in time for the premiere of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+ a few weeks ago. Other Fortnite Star Wars character skins have included the Sequel Trilogy’s Rey and Kylo Ren, as well as Boba Fett as portrayed in last year’s The Book Of Boba Fett series.

There have been rumors that Obi-Wan’s former apprentice-turned-arch-nemesis Darth Vader would be joining him in Fortnite as part of the ongoing Chapter 3, fueled by screenshots from April’s Epic Games State of Unreal showcase that contained a coded hint at the Dark Lord’s name and a brief image of Vader locked in combat with his old mentor during the Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 2 finale late last week. An image of Darth Vader’s Fortnite skin was also leaked on social media a few days ago, providing even more evidence that the galaxy’s most feared Sith Lord would soon make his presence known on the Island.
