Fortnite Launches Galactic Battle Season with Major Star Wars Collaboration

Fortnite's new Galactic Battle season marks its largest Star Wars collaboration yet, introducing a sci-fi themed map with locations, weapons, and characters inspired by the franchise, including flyable X-Wings and TIE Fighters, lightsabers, Force abilities, and iconic blasters. The season also revamps Story Quests, requiring players to explore the map to uncover and complete narrative-driven tasks. Competitive play is more casual-focused this season, with no FNCS Major but several special events like Ranked Cups and FNCS Pro-Am Community Cups, offering exclusive Star Wars-themed rewards such as the Elite Zadie outfit and Death Star Umbrella. All tournament participation now grants passive XP, making it easier for players to progress in their Battle Pass. The event is expected to last only a month, making it a limited-time experience for fans. Overall, Galactic Battle blends casual, narrative, and competitive elements to immerse players in the Star Wars universe while maintaining Fortnite’s trademark playful spirit.
