Fortnite and Star Wars have had a long history of partnering up in the past, so it’s not surprising to see that they will be teaming up again in 2022! The event is likely to celebrate this year’s “May the 4th be with you” event, which is looked at as somewhat of a holiday for Star Wars and its fans.

Here are the official details that likely came from Epic’s API, according to FN_Assist on Twitter:

  • Title: “Star Wars” Lightning Cup
  • Format: Duos
  • Date: May 3rd

“This weapon is your life. This Lightning Cup will feature a special, adjusted loot pool.”

It has also been confirmed that lightsabers will be returning to the game in some fashion. You will likely find them in battle royale modes, but it hasn’t been officially announced.

Epic has been producing quite a few different collabs lately, including another one with Street Fighter that brought Blanka and Sakura skins, and one that brought Wu-Tang Clan themed cosmetics to the platform to the game.
