The galaxy far, far away from Star Wars invites itself into the Fortnite universe! Starting this May 3, 2024, to mark Star Wars Day, Battle Royal, as well as LEGO Fortnite, Fortnite Festival and Rocket Racing modes, are welcoming new content based on the space saga, so that fans can experience new adventures! With the arrival of update 29.40, all fans will be able to discover a dedicated island where the forces of the Rebellion and the Empire engage in a fierce battle, all in the iconic LEGO aesthetic.
Players will be able to build the Rebel village on the new LEGO island, engage in galactic quests and arm themselves with lightsabers, blasters and even thermal detonators to battle Imperial forces. By taking part in these activities, players will progress to the new " Rebellion Under Construction " Pass, which offers a host of customizable rewards, including the famous Chewbacca skin, Lando Calrissian skin, Dagobah version of Luke and Tatooine-inspired constructions.
The festivities don't stop there.
