Boba Fett Has Tracked His Bounty To Fortnite And Arrives Alongside The Disney Plus Exclusive Series
Regarded as one of the most fearsome bounty hunters in the entire galaxy, Boba Fett has navigated his way to the Fortnite Island – ready to capture bounties and collect a Victory Crown of his very own as the latest Star Wars collaborative crossover. Epic Games has had a positive and long standing partnership with Disney and Lucasfilm in the past, having curated the Chapter 2 – Season 4 storyline solely around Marvel superheroes and even debuting an exclusive clip from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in-game with Geoff Keighley and director J.J. Abrams in attendance. The Star Wars experience also saw players able to wield their own lightsaber within Fortnite for a limited time with seven characters having since made their way into the game including The Mandalorian, Rey, and an Imperial Stormtrooper.
Players can purchase the Boba Fett Bundle directly from the Fortnite Item Shop for 2,300 V-Bucks which includes the Boba Fett Outfit, Z-6 Jetpack Back Bling, Gaffi Stick Pickaxe, Boba Fett’s Starship Glider, and Targeting Computer Online Built-In Emote. Alternatively, players can acquire the Boba Fett Outfit, Gaffi Stick Pickaxe, and Boba Fett’s Starship Glider separately for 1,500 V-Bucks, 800 V-Bucks, and 1,200 V-Bucks respectively with players receiving a discount of 1,200 V-Bucks when purchasing the complete Book of Boba Fett set rather than individually. Epic Games originally released the iconic bounty hunter on December 24th, 2021 at 7PM EST and it is uncertain as to exactly how long Boba Fett will remain in the Fortnite Item Shop; collabs typically rotate out within a week after releasing.
Epic Games announced that Boba Fett would be appearing in Fortnite on November 12th, 2021 via Twitter during Disney Plus Day – an annual celebration of the popular streaming service which often includes exclusive announcements, trailers, and sneak peaks of upcoming films and shows that will be coming soon for subscribers to enjoy. Although she was prominently featured in the official teaser artwork, Fennec Shand – portrayed by actress Ming-Na Wen – has yet to appear in Fortnite at this time and it is currently unknown as to whether or not Epic Games will bring her to the game.
Fortnite is available now on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One X, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, Windows PC, and Android devices.
