Fortnite's Immersive Star Wars Universe Expansion
Fortnite is transforming into a vibrant Star Wars playground, offering players unique and diverse adventures.

These imaginative Star Wars experiences will be exclusive to Fortnite, providing an unparalleled opportunity for fans to dive deep into the beloved universe.
Introducing Three New Star Wars Game Modes
In collaboration with Lucasfilm, Epic Games is rolling out three brand-new Fortnite game modes, each offering a distinct gameplay experience. "Galactic Siege," developed with JOGO Studios (island code: 5003-9856-3648), immerses players in large-scale 10v10 class-based PvP battles across various Star Wars planets. For those who prefer a more stealthy approach, "Escape Vader," created with Beyond Creative (island code: 7285-4185-5428), is a 4-player co-op game where survival depends on outsmarting the formidable Darth Vader. Finally, "Droid Tycoon," a creation by FOAD (island code: 7865-8305-9184), allows players to build and customize droids using authentic Star Wars blueprints, manage workshops, and unlock rare components and missions.
Exclusive 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' Watch Party
Adding to the excitement, a special watch party for "The Mandalorian and Grogu" is scheduled for May 19, 2026. This event will feature an exclusive message from director Jon Favreau and a 10-minute sneak peek of the upcoming movie, ahead of its theatrical release on May 22, 2026. This unique opportunity will give fans an early glimpse into the highly anticipated film within the Fortnite platform.
