Three new Star Wars games have just been released, but there is a significant catch: they are only accessible within Fortnite. Fans of the iconic franchise can now dive into three distinct experiences developed through a collaboration between Epic Games and Lucasfilm, with additional contributions from smaller studios using Fortnite's Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) creator tools.
What Are the New Star Wars Games in Fortnite?
The three game modes offer wildly different experiences, ranging from large-scale battles to a tense horror-style escape. Here is a quick overview of each:
- Galactic Siege (Island code: 5003-9856-3648): Engage in large-scale PvP class-based battles with 10v10 combat across iconic Star Wars planets.
- Escape Vader (Island code: 7285-4185-5428): A 4-player co-op game where you hide, run, and try to survive while escaping the terrifying Sith Lord, Darth Vader.
- Droid Tycoon (Island code: 7865-8305-9184): Build and customize droids using authentic Star Wars blueprints, manage your workshop and factory systems, and unlock rare components and special missions.
Part of a Larger Star Wars Celebration in Fortnite
These official modes are part of a broader focus on Star Wars in Fortnite for May 2026, coinciding with Star Wars Day on May 4. Additionally, the month features the theatrical release of The Mandalorian and Grogu on May 22, with a watch party of a section of the movie scheduled in Fortnite on May 19.
Sean Shoptaw, executive VP of Disney Games and Digital Entertainment, commented: "Interactive entertainment is rapidly becoming one of the defining forces in how audiences experience stories, and Disney is fully embracing that evolution. Games offer a uniquely powerful way to deepen engagement, expand our worlds, and connect with fans in real time. As this space continues to grow, we see extraordinary potential to elevate Disney storytelling in ways that are innovative, social, and built for the way people play today."
What About the Disney-Themed Extraction Game?
Previously, reports suggested that Epic Games is working on a Disney-themed extraction game similar to ARC Raiders. While this Star Wars collaboration indicates strong relations with Disney, no further news on that extraction shooter has emerged.
