Lando Calrissian, Chewbacca, and more headed to Fortnite in May 3rd update

We’re about a week away from Fortnite’s big Star Wars themed update on May 3rd, 2024. Of course, this update will be coming a day early in order to properly celebrate ‘May the 4th’ later that weekend. This week, we got our first confirmations of some of the goodies coming to the game on that day.

First, the official Fortnite Festival account revealed that the debonair Lando Calrissian will be available as a skin in Fortnite’s rhythm mode. Just a couple days earlier, the LEGO Fortnite account also revealed that a LEGO version of the Wookiee Chewbacca would be joining in on the fun. Since skins tend to be shared across all modes in Fortnite, this means that Lando and Chewie are most likely confirmed for all other Fortnite modes as well.

In addition, dataminers have apparently uncovered a few other items that are likely to be added to the game with this update: a Death Trooper skin, a new Leia Organa skin, lightsabers, and the Wookiee Bowcaster as a Mythic item.

Stay tuned, as we wait for Fortnite to officially unveil everything they’ll have on offer for the big May 3rd update. If you’re a big Star Wars fan, there’s sure to be a lot in store for you!
