Obi-Wan Kenobi Comes To Fortnite Just In Time For The Disney+ Show
Next week, Epic Games plans to add Obi-Wan Kenobi to the Fortnite Item Shop — just in time for the Star Wars character's new Disney+ series. Plenty of Disney-owned characters have joined the online game's roster of late, thanks to recent film and TV releases. Wanda Maximoff landed on Fortnite Island earlier this month, for instance, in honor of her role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Doctor Strange similarly hit the live-service title this year, as did Moon Knight because of his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut on Disney's streaming platform.

Finn, Rey, and Kylo Ren have come and gone in the past, too, though each one recently reappeared in the Item Shop for Star Wars Day 2022 on May 4.
