The partnership between Epic Games, Disney, and Lucasfilm is expanding beyond traditional Battle Royale events. Utilizing the official Star Wars toolkit in UEFN and Creative, developers have built hundreds of brand-new, standalone Star Wars experiences. Starting from May 1, Fortnite will become the ultimate hub for fans to race tauntauns, pilot X-wings, manage cantinas, and much more Star Wars content.
