Star Wars Celebration in Japan to feature special Fortnite announcement

Before Star Wars makes its return to Fortnite in Chapter 6 Season 3 in May, Epic Games is heading to Japan for the Star Wars Celebration on April 19th.

During the 20th anniversary event, the publisher will make a special announcement and offer a sneak peek at the upcoming Star Wars content set to arrive in Fortnite as part of its annual collaboration.

Tickets for the Star Wars Celebration have already been sold out and the event will also feature major exhibitors including LEGO, Hot Toys, ANA and more.

Fans who can’t fly to Japan can still join the celebration by tuning into the official livestream on Star Wars’ website or YouTube channel from April 18th to 20th.

Though very little is known at the moment, according to a trusted Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR, the next season update is confirmed to bring the following items:

Players are already coming up with theories based on the image posted by Fortnite on X (Twitter).

“The background for the Fortnite X Star Wars announcement features the Star Wars galaxy starmap that was also seen in the Ahsoka Show end credits! In Ahsoka, the path on the map led to Peridea. So perhaps the path in the FN teaser LIKELY leads to Reality-783!” a user observed.

Adding to the celebration, Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith will also be re-released in theaters on April 25th in multiple formats, including 4DX for the first time. However, fans are advised to book their tickets as soon as possible, as they’re expected to sell out quickly.
