Fortnitewill take its collaboration with the Star Wars franchise one step further, as a brand-new Anakin Skywalker skin will be available to claim on May 2. Two days before Star Wars Day, players will be able to rejoice with his iconic lightsaber and traditional outfit.
Over the past few years, Fortnite has brought a number of Star Wars skins to keep fans engaged. This long-running collaboration was first started with the classic Imperial Stormtroopers back in 2019, then expanded with Boba Fett, The Mandalorian, Fennec Shand, Darth Vader, and Luke Skywalker. In addition, the roster of Star Wars characters in the game includes Han Solo, Leia Organa, Zorii Bliss, and Krrsantan.

Star Wars fans might recognize his outfit — this Anakin Skywalker is the character’s Revenge of the Sith version from 2005, wearing a traditional outfit that we saw in his fight against Obi-Wan Kenobi. There’s no information yet on how much the Anakin skin will cost or which items he will be bundled with, but Fortnite has revealed that it will be available to purchase on May 2, just before for Star Wars Day on May the 4th.
