Epic and Disney are collaborating on a new Star Wars-themed battle royale session in Fortnite and an in-game premiere of Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld.
“The Star Wars Watch Party island will also go live on May 2, and beginning at 10 a.m. ET, players will have a chance to view the first two episodes of Lucasfilm Animation’s Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld,” Disney said in a press release. “Beyond the Star Wars Watch Party theater, players have the opportunity to fight off incoming waves of Stormtroopers using blasters and lightsabers. The standalone Star Wars Watch Party island was built in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) and uses official Star Wars assets to create a breathtaking environment inspired by a galaxy far, far away.”
