The Force has awakened in Fortnite, as the highly anticipated GALACTIC BATTLE event has officially landed! Starting today, May 2nd, 2025, the Island has been plunged into an epic conflict between the forces of the Galactic Empire and heroes from across the Star Wars saga. Get ready to wield lightsabers, pilot iconic starfighters, and determine the fate of the Island! Check out full information about Fortnite x Star Wars: Galactic Battle below.
An Imperial fleet, spearheaded by imposing Star Destroyers and the menacing Death Star, has emerged from hyperspace, casting a long shadow over the familiar Fortnite landscape. But fear not, heroes are arriving to meet this galactic threat head-on, with Emperor Palpatine orchestrating the Imperial assault from the shadows.
Fortnite x Star Wars: Galactic Battle – New Battlegrounds Emerge
New battlegrounds have emerged, each a nod to the Star Wars universe. Explore the First Order Base atop a mountain, complete with TIE fighter hangars and a secret utility shaft for infiltration. Navigate the bustling Outpost Enclave, a haven for smugglers (and potential trouble!). Discover the hidden Resistance Base, concealed beneath lush foliage and brimming with X-wings and vital equipment. And beware Vader Samurai’s Solitude, where the Sith Lord himself, flanked by stormtrooper samurai, now holds court in what was once Shogun’s Solitude.

The iconic lightsaber makes its grand entrance, not as a mere weapon, but as a symbol of Force sensitivity. While wielding a lightsaber, you’ll gain enhanced speed, double jump capability, and immunity to fall damage. But these elegant weapons must be earned!
Train with hologram Rey to unlock a Blue Lightsaber and the Force Push ability, or align with the dark side and learn Force Lightning from hologram Emperor Palpatine, earning a Red Lightsaber in the process. Defeat the formidable Darth Vader Samurai to claim a different red lightsaber and the devastating Force Saber Throw ability. Remember, Force Abilities are tied to you, not the lightsaber itself!
For those who prefer a more direct approach, day one is all about blasters! A plethora of familiar firearms have been added, including the reliable DL-44 Blaster Pistol, the rapid-fire CR-2 Blaster (an SMG!), various Scatter Blasters for close-quarters combat, versatile Blaster Rifles, and even the unvaulted accuracy of the DC-15 Heavy Blaster Rifle and the standard-issue E-11 and F-11 Blasters. Be mindful of overheating these powerful weapons! And for explosive mayhem, the Thermal Imploder is ready to rip through structures.
Fortnite x Star Wars: Face Iconic Characters and Earn Mythic Rewards
Take on the formidable Captain Phasma at the First Order Base for a chance to earn her Mythic F-11D Blaster and Phasma’s Blaster Medallion, which enhances blaster performance. But be warned, Medallions make you visible on the mini-map!
Soar through the skies in iconic starfighters! Pilot the menacing Imperial TIE fighter, equipped with powerful blasters, or take the controls of the nimble X-wing, utilizing its laser cannons for aerial dominance.
More Heroes and Villains Arrive Soon
The galactic reinforcements don’t stop there! On May 8th, Leia, Luke, and Han Solo arrive to offer strategic support. Mace Windu and Darth Maul will also appear as holograms, offering further Force training in Force Pull and Force Throw, respectively. May 15th welcomes Chewbacca and his Wookiee Bowcaster, along with the new CA-87 Jawa Scatter Blaster.
On May 22nd, Mandalorians will join the fray, offering recruitment options and bringing with them the unvaulted Mandalorian Jetpack, the Amban Sniper Rifle, and new WESTAR-34 Blaster Pistols. Prepare for orbital devastation on May 29th when players can seize control of a Star Destroyer’s turbolasers! The ultimate showdown arrives on June 7th with a live, in-game narrative event: Death Star Sabotage!
Unlock Galactic Treasures with the Battle Pass
The Star Wars Battle Pass is packed with galactic treasures, featuring Outfits like Apprentice Evie, Poe Dameron, Wookiee Team Leader, and Emperor Palpatine. General Grievous will also be unlockable later in May.
Embrace the style of the galaxy far, far away with the new Star Wars + Porsche 911 GT3 RS Bundle and Star Wars Crocs, both available starting tonight at 8 PM ET. Keep an eye out for more Star Wars Outfits throughout the season!
Don’t miss the chance to unlock the First Order Stormtrooper Outfit and Asajj Ventress Loading Screen, and even watch the first two episodes of Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld early in Fortnite, starting May 2nd at 10 AM ET!
