The galaxy far, far away is expanding once again—this time inside Fortnite. From May, players can dive into hundreds of new Star Wars-inspired experiences, marking one of the biggest in-game collaborations yet between Epic Games, Lucasfilm, and Disney.
This major rollout introduces not only fan-created content but also three brand-new official game modes designed to immerse players deeper into the Star Wars universe than ever before.
Three New Star Wars Games You Can Play Right Now
Leading the charge are three original experiences developed in collaboration with creators and studios, each offering a unique way to explore the galaxy.
Galactic Siege: Large-Scale PvP Battles
Developed with JOGO Studios, Galactic Siege drops players into 10v10 class-based combat across iconic Star Wars planets. Expect chaotic, large-scale warfare that captures the intensity of intergalactic conflict.
Escape Vader: Survive the Sith Lord
Created by Beyond Creative, Escape Vader is a tense four-player co-op experience where players must hide, run, and outsmart Darth Vader. Survival is the only goal—and it won’t come easy.
Droid Tycoon: Build Your Own Empire
In Droid Tycoon by FOAD, players step into the role of a futuristic entrepreneur, building and customising droids using authentic blueprints. Managing resources, upgrading factories, and unlocking rare components are key to success.
A New Era for Interactive Storytelling
According to Adam Sussman, President of Epic Games, this launch represents a major shift in how players engage with beloved franchises:
“It’s now possible to create a limitless variety of games in the Star Wars universe that anyone in Fortnite can play.”
This sentiment is echoed by Sean Shoptaw, Executive VP of Disney Games and Digital Entertainment, who highlights the growing importance of gaming in modern storytelling:
“Interactive entertainment is rapidly becoming one of the defining forces in how audiences experience stories.”
Why This Collaboration Matters
The partnership between Fortnite and Star Wars signals a broader trend: the merging of gaming, film, and social experiences into one unified ecosystem. Rather than simply watching stories unfold, players are now active participants—exploring worlds, shaping narratives, and connecting with others in real time.
With new Star Wars content spanning games, streaming, and immersive experiences, Disney is doubling down on its most iconic franchise. And Fortnite is quickly becoming one of the central hubs for that expansion.
The Future of Star Wars in Gaming
With “hundreds” of experiences rolling out and more likely on the horizon, this collaboration is only just getting started. As Shoptaw puts it, “we’re just beginning to tap into what’s possible.”
For fans of Star Wars and Fortnite alike, that means one thing: the galaxy is about to get a lot bigger.
