Fortnite Teases New Obi-Wan Star Wars Skin


Obi-Wan Kenobi is coming to the world of Fortnite just in time for Star Wars Day.

Today, Epic Games has teased that Obi-wan Kenobi from Star Wars should soon arrive to the popular battle royale game. To coincide with Star Wars Day (May 4th), the developer has shared a new teaser that previews the various in-game Star Wars items from the past back to Fortnite over the coming weeks. While we've already seen most of the cosmetics that players can now purchase in the Item Shop before, there will be one new item that will be coming soon.

Watch the teaser from the official Fortnite Twitter account below:

As you can see, the teaser features the chaos of an epic lightsaber battle Star Wars fans want to see, and Kylo Ren also makes an appearance. At the end of the teaser, you can see a glimpse of who appears to be Obi-Wan. Expect more players unleash their inner Jedi (or Sith) with their lightsaber melee skins this month.

It's not surprising to see that Fortnite is adding an Obi-Wan skin to the game. He's one of the most iconic Star Wars characters ever, so that makes him an obvious addition to Fortnite. The crossover is also a great way to remind us that Disney+'s Star Wars: Obi-Wan TV series will be released at the end of this month.

A few months ago, Fortnite had a previous crossover with Boba Fett back when Disney+ was airing The Book of Boba Fett last winter, so it makes sense that Epic Games are doing a similar crossover for Star Wars Day.
