Overview of the Upcoming Fallout in Fortnite
- The upcoming Fortnite season will feature the Death Star in a collaboration with Star Wars.
- Various leaked images depict the Death Star ominously positioned above the game world.
- The new Fortnite season is titled “Galactic Battle.”
Fortnite is set to introduce players to the iconic Death Star, a key element from the Star Wars franchise. This highly anticipated integration follows several catastrophic events within the game, reminiscent of previous encounters such as the encounter with Galactus, the world-devouring villain from Chapter 2 Season 3. Now, as part of the latest Star Wars crossover, the Galactic Empire’s formidable weapon is poised to target the Fortnite Island.
This collaboration, announced at the recent Star Wars Celebration Japan, is called Galactic Battle. The new season promises to deliver exciting content, including players donning the iconic skins of renowned characters from the saga, such as the legendary Jedi Master Mace Windu and the enigmatic Darth Jar Jar—an embodiment arising from a popular fan theory that associates Jar Jar Binks with the Sith’s covert manipulation of the Galactic Republic. Moreover, the menacing Death Star, which first graced the silver screen in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, will make its entrance.
First Glimpse of the Death Star in Fortnite
Fans of Fortnite are already speculating about what the Death Star will look like as it approaches the Island. Notable leaker ShiinaBR has shared leaked images, reportedly from fellow users SpushFNBR and KPMisParrot, showcasing the massive battle station looming in the skies, complete with its haunting superlaser array.
As Fortnite has seen numerous cosmetics representing the Star Wars brand, this upcoming season stands to be the most substantial crossover yet from Epic Games. From May 2 through June, players can expect thrilling events, potentially including a climactic effort to thwart the Death Star before it unleashes its destructive power on the Island.
As the season progresses, the Death Star will gradually drift closer, eventually becoming a central focal point of the gameplay. Players will need to strategize and prepare for the ultimate test against this formidable weapon, a symbol of the Empire’s oppressive dominance—one which was famously destroyed by Luke Skywalker’s incredible shot at the climax of the original film.
