“A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.”
Opposites attract with Star Wars Samurai – a fusional collaboration where Darth Vader has been transformed into a samurai warrior with intricate armour; Stormtroopers received similar treatment for their uniforms. Epic Games dropped them on December 24th, 2024 which pairs perfectly within the current theme of the Fortnite 鬼 Hunters season as it has been influenced by Japanese culture.

The original Darth Vader was obtainable during Chapter 3 – Season 3 season and because of the grandfathered exclusivity clause, will never return in that particular form. Epic Games has found unique ways to bring back Battle Pass characters including multiple versions of Spider-Man alongside comic book style pen & ink versions of Deadpool and Wolverine to celebrate Deadpool & Wolverine dominating the box office. Star Wars rotates through the Item Shop annually on May 4th for Star Wars Day with lightsaber weapons and force powers temporarily unvaulted – no lightsaber Pickaxes sadly.
Fortnite is available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Windows PC, Amazon Luna, and Android devices with iOS compatibility available through GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
