Fortnite fans, get ready for another potential epic crossover as rumors are swirling about a new collaboration with Star Wars set to kick off on May 2. According to a trusted Fortnite leaker, this crossover will feature a special 35-day mini-season entirely dedicated to the Star Wars universe. This approach might be Epic Games’ answer to its previous full-season collaborations, like those with Marvel, which had mixed reactions from the community.
In other exciting Fortnite news, dataminers have dropped hints that Sabrina Carpenter is lined up as the next big Fortnite Festival artist, likely making her debut on April 8. On top of that, it’s rumored that characters from the iconic Mortal Kombat series, including Raiden, Kitana, and Scorpion, will soon be making their way into the game. Fans might be able to snag a bundle of 15 Mortal Kombat-themed cosmetics on March 28 for 3,300 V-Bucks. Sub-Zero, who is already part of Chapter 6 Season 2’s battle pass, offers players new exciting abilities like ice powers that enhance agility and deal serious damage.
The chatter on social media is buzzing, especially after the renowned leaker HYPEX suggested the upcoming Star Wars mini-season. If all goes as rumored, it might just be one of Fortnite’s briefest seasons to date. While there’s no confirmed roster of characters making an appearance, fans are crossing their fingers for additions from popular titles like Andor and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
Fortnite and Star Wars have a history of success, with past collaborations featuring fan-favorites like Darth Vader and The Mandalorian. These and other famous Star Wars characters from various trilogies have graced the game’s Item Shop before, creating fantastic opportunities for fans of both franchises.
Nevertheless, franchise-specific seasons can be a bit of a hit or miss with the community. While the Marvel seasons were quite popular, they didn’t resonate with everyone. It seems Epic Games might be testing the waters with shorter, more digestible mini-seasons to keep players engaged, regardless of their franchise loyalties. But keep in mind, as always, that leaks and rumors are just that. They might come true or fade away into obscurity. Still, with so much potentially exciting content on the horizon, the future of Fortnite is looking brighter than ever.
