“Fortnite” unveiled its latest crossover character this week in the form of a stormtrooper character.
The character arrives amid a “Star Wars”-themed event in “Fortnite,” which coincides with the release of “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order,” the new video game from EA.
There are two things to notice about the crossover event.
Stormtrooper: You can purchase the stormtrooper character in the “Fortnite” item store. Or, you can receive it for free if you buy the “Fallen Order” video game in the Epic Games store.
Star destroyer: There’s current a Star Destroyer ship hanging in the sky in the middle of the game.
Yes, but: According to The Verge, the “Star Wars” crossover isn’t as big as previous crossover events, like when Thanos appeared in the game to promote “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame.”
- “In this context, the new Star Wars costume makes for a more limited crossover, but at least you can get it for free if you were already planning on buying the new game. The big question now is whether Epic has anything in store for the upcoming release of ‘Episode IX’ in December,” according to The Verge.
