Obi-Wan Kenobi Is Coming To Fortnite Next Week
Fortnite has basically become a hub where all of the biggest IPs in entertainment gather and eliminate each other over and over again in the name of earning a coveted Victory Royale. Although Star Wars has been a part of that for three years, it has been thrust back into the Fortnite spotlight this month via lightsaber introductions and Obi-Wan Kenobi teases.
