Check out Star Wars: Galactic Siege, a large-scale PvP fight where the Rebels will take on the Empire. The battles consist of 10 vs 10 combat across iconic planets from the Star Wars galaxy. Team up and find capture points. The longer you hold the area, the more points you get, and the closer you are to winning! You can access the Star Destroyer level right now, and stay tuned for a new Mandalorian & Grogu-themed map that will release with the movie on the 22nd!

Lastly, check out this whole new Star Wars x Fortnite horror game. The game mode is a 4-player co-op game called Star Wars: Escape Vader. The rule is simple…survive! You and your group play as rebels who infiltrate a Star Destroyer to recover intelligence and resources. Unfortunately, Darth Vader is waiting for you, and you will come face-to-face with him. You’ll need to hide and run to survive from the Sith Lord. Work with your team to escape while being hunted.

Outside of new game modes, the collab is bringing the game new skins. The Fortnite item shop now has Anakin and Ahsoka in their Clone Wars design. That’s not all, the shop also has The Mandalorian in a Pen and Ink style skin, and a BDX Droid sidekick! Also, the Captain Phasma skin will be coming back for a limited time.

“Star Wars continues to be one of the most powerful and enduring franchises in entertainment, and this year represents an extraordinary moment for fans around the world,” Sean Shoptaw, executive VP of Disney Games and Digital Entertainment, said. “With new stories, new characters, and new ways to experience the galaxy, we’re expanding the universe in ways that feel both fresh and deeply connected to what audiences love. The momentum across games, streaming, and immersive experiences is incredibly exciting, and we’re just beginning to tap into what’s possible for the future of Star Wars.”
