Star Wars Fortnite event: Date confirmed with Anakin Skywalker skin
radiotimes.comStar Wars is coming to Fortnite, again, with Epic Games revealing artwork of an Anakin Skywalker Fortnite skin. The date for this pop culture crossover has also been confirmed.
This news comes just as Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is launching into the world. That new game, from EA's Respawn studio, is well worth checking out, as we explained in our Star Wars Jedi: Survivor review.
However, we've got reason to believe that the Fortnite event will focus more on the Clone Wars era (between Episode II and Episode III) as opposed to the Dark Times era (between Episode III and Episode IV), meaning that it may not connect explicitly to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Read on to learn more!
Why do we think this? Well, as you can see in the official image below, Anakin Skywalker still has his blue lightsaber at this point, and there are Clone Wars-era ships in the air above him (the red lining sets them apart from the all-white Imperial Star Destroyers that came later).
That Anakin skin looks really cool, doesn't it? We don't yet know how to unlock it, but it feels safe to predict that it will either be in the Item Shop or some kind of Battle Pass.
That image is all we have to go on at the moment, in terms of what this crossover will entail, but we'll be sure to update this page as we learn more about the Star Wars Fortnite event.
It would be cool to pull in other Clone Wars-era characters like Mace Windu, Padme, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka, but only time will tell what Disney and Epic have agreed on including.
