Starting May 1, 2026, the Fortnite Discover tab will be filled with 3 new flagship Creative experiences created using the UEFN Star Wars toolkit. These experiences include:

  • Galactic Siege: 10v10 class-based PvP battles on iconic planets.

The film preview will also include a special message from The Mandalorian & Grogu's director Jon Favreau.

In the official blog post, Epic also noted that iconic Star Wars costumes will return to the Fortnite Item Shop throughout May, offering players new cosmetic options.
