Fortnite x Star Wars: Stormtrooper Skin Now Available

Fortnite got a Stormtrooper skin today, which is available for a limited time, and it sounds like there's more Star Wars-themed cosmetics to come.The skin is available to buy until November 17, and costs 1,500 V-Bucks. Alternatively, it's also free to those who buy Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on the Epic Store.

The Empire's arrival onto the Island is accompanied by a hovering Star Destroyer in the sky above your matches.

It doesn't look like the last we'll see of Star Wars in Fortnite, as the Stormtrooper skin is described in the Item Shop as "Part of the Original Trilogy Set" – don't be surprised to see more familiar faces (or helmets) before the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker next month.

Given EA's close ties with Star Wars, the publisher might be a little peeved that its own Battle Royale, Apex Legends isn't getting the Star Wars treatment instead.

It's not the first Disney collaboration with Fortnite, however. Previously, we've seen Wreck-It Ralph and the Avengers make their way into Epic's enormo-game.
