Epic Games has released the roadmap for its month-long Fortnite x Star Wars Day parties, which include a “galaxy of new Star Wars games” and more to keep fans busy.
While Star Wars Das officially begins on May 4th, three new game modes created by Epic and Lucasfilm, along with hundreds of islands created by creators using the official Star Wars toolkit, are available in Fortnite from today.
“After years of creating Star Wars experiences with Disney and Lucasfilm, we gave Star Wars’ heroes, worlds and assets to Fortnite creators so they could build the experiences they’ve always dreamed of playing. It is now possible to create an unlimited variety of games in the Star Wars universe that everyone is in Fortnite can play,” said Adam Sussman, president of Epic Games.

The three designed by Epic and Lucasfilm are Galactic Siege, one Battlefront-like mode featuring large-scale PvP class-based battles with 10v10 battles across iconic Star Wars planets.
Then there’s Escape Vader, a four-player co-op game where you have to hide, run and survive against Darth Vader, and finally Droid Tycoon, where players build and customize droids using authentic Star Wars blueprints, manage their workshop and factory systems, and unlock rare components and special missions.

“Interactive entertainment is quickly becoming one of the defining forces in how audiences experience stories, and Disney fully embraces that evolution,” added Sean Shoptaw, executive VP of Disney Games and Digital Entertainment. “Games offer a uniquely powerful way to deepen engagement, expand our worlds and connect with fans in real time. As this space continues to grow, we see extraordinary potential to elevate Disney’s storytelling in ways that are innovative, social and built for the way people play today.”
With the release of these modes also comes new Star Wars Quests, with more coming each week in May, all of which offer free rewards upon completion.
New The Clone Wars skins and accessories for Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker have also arrived in the Item Shop today, along with the return of several Star Wars outfits, and players can unlock a free Carbonite Fishstick Back Bling for linking their account to MyDisney.
On the 14th of May Lego Fortnite Odyssey gets its own Star Wars update with a new Hover Bricker, hover vehicles, Mandalorian and Grogu, and Star Wars enemies.
Additionally, on May 19, players can log in and join The Mandalorian and Grogu Watch Party Island to see a special message from creator Jon Favreau and get a 10-minute sneak peek Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu ahead of the cinema premiere on 22 May.
However, players must first collect bounties and defend the city against waves of enemies, find Grogu, and spend 20 minutes exploring Nevarro to unlock the exclusive Mandalorian Sanctuary loading screen.
Finally, on May 26, players can visit the island’s amphitheater to watch a Q&A with Favreau about the film and the making of The Mandalorian and Grogu Watch Party Island.
