Epic Games has confirmed a trio of new Star Wars experiences are coming to Fortnite, including a Darth Vader horror.
Starting today (May 1), Fortnite players will be able to use the official Star Wars toolkit to build and share their own games featuring “iconic characters, environments, vehicles and assets” from across the Star Wars universe.
Three official Fortnite x Star Wars experiences have also been confirmed:
Star Wars: Escape Vader is a four-player horror co-op game where you have to try and escape a derelict Star Destroyer while being hunted by Sith lord Darth Vader.
“When we started brainstorming about this experience, we wanted to create something bold, and we wanted to be a little bit different,” said Star Wars: Escape Vader creator Kasper Weber (via Variety). “This is why we landed on doing something horror, because we realised that we all had in common this very twisted childhood question that we all had in our minds when watching the original movies and the sequels – ‘How would it feel to be chased by Vader in some of those iconic ship corridors? How would it be to feel his wrath?”
Star Wars: Galactic Siege is a 10v10 combat game where players do battle in “familiar” Star Wars locations. Points are earned by capturing and holding areas of the map. A star destroyer level is available today, while another inspired by The Mandalorian And Grogu will launch after the movie hits cinemas.
Star Wars: Droid Tycoon allows you to build and customise 40 different droids while managing your workshop.
As part of the Fortnite X Star Wars collaboration, players will also be able to get an early glimpse of The Mandalorian And Grogu via a special watch party. The event takes place May 19 at 3PM BST and will feature ten minutes of the film alongside a message from Jon Favreau. A Q+A with Favreau will follow on May 26.
