Update [Thu 3rd Dec, 2020 05:30 GMT]: Epic has now officially confirmed The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda for the Season 5 Battle Pass of Fortnite Chapter 2. They'll be joined by a bunch of other new characters, which you can see in the videos below.
In related news, the PlayStation icon and God of War Kratos will also be joining the game as a skin. At this point in time, it's unknown if this will be a PlayStation exclusive.
Original article [Wed 25th Nov, 2020 01:45 GMT]: If you've ever wanted to take control of The Mandalorian in a video game, then you might be in luck...provided you're a fan of Epic's battle royale game, Fortnite.
Prominent leakers within the game's community have reportedly uncovered an image featuring some new skins and leading the way is the Mando himself. Of course, The Child is also nearby.
At the moment, it's believed this skin will be a secret battle pass cosmetic for the fifth season which players can work towards, and could also potentially be part of the newly announced subscription service.
While there's no solid confirmation of this just yet, there's a good chance considering Fortnite's history with Star Wars. Would you like to become the Mando in Fortnite? What do you think of season two so far? Comment below.

Never liked fortnite, nor played it, but might download it now cause of this
I would buy it i am a big star wars fan
@Mew I already knew that but you should be banned either way for people who don’t know that.
@Mew Yup. Just ruined it for me. Reporting.
@Mew You suck. Im reporting you.
[Context: Mew spoiled a game that a lot of people on this site wanted to play. At this moment, most people on the site didn't finish the game, so when Mew spoiled the game's ending, people got angry. Now enjoy the rest of this comment section.]
Couldn't even pull up the spoiler command: Thanks a lot meanie.
Btw Lightning McQueen dies in Endgame.
Btw before you call me a hypocrite, Endgame has been out for 1.5 years by now 😈
What the ****, @Mew, just because you’re upset about something doesn’t mean you can do that to everyone else...
Ok let's move on from that...
Hm....these comment sections have a habit of derailing extremely off course.
Note to self: keep popcorn around for even the most innocent articles.
Edit: about the mandalorian, this just makes me want a star wars game in the same vein as Bounty Hunter, but with a bigger budget and scope. Doesn't even need to be about mandalorians, heck, Ill be the throwaway background characters in The Box episode of TCW for all I care. I just want to go pew pew bounty hunter.
@Eel
This is the way.
Well idk what the top comments are about. Usually there is more complaints about Fortnite being a bad game so I’ll start it now. (Imagine this read in the most annoying voice you can think of) Fortnite is such a bad game. Like all of the people who play it are trash and epic games just sucks.
Here come the replies!!
Yes. Just started playing fortnite. So I would want that.
@bobzbulder basically spoiled Age of Calamity’s ending.
I'm so glad I read this article AFTER Mew was dealt with
As a Fortnite player who hates Star Wars and is currently well invested in Age Of Calamity, this whole page could've been a outrageous trainwreck for me
Good for them, but little can beat a Gorrilaz/Beck performance in Animal Crossing as far as pop-cultural cross-medium events are concerned.
No thanks- I’ll stick to my Star Wars: Bounty Hunter for PS2
It’s..............not............baby...........Yoda! He is a child of Yodas species but it’s not Yoda!
I hope we can eventually get a Star Wars themed season! I loved the Marvel one and me and my friend had a great time working our way to tier 100. It was the first time I have ever done that but only because of the Iron Man skin. I'd gladly do it again for a Anakin or Luke skin.
I was scrolling fast through the news and for a moment I mistook the thing baby Yoda is in for Pac-Man
@Auggie_Plays_Games
Spoiled the ending of Age of Calamity
@GameOtaku Everyone and their mums are well aware of this fact. They simply chose to call him Baby Yoda as it does have a better sound and feel to it than just "The Child".
@bobzbulder Purposely spoiled Age of Calamity. See my comment for more context (no spoilers, I'm a decent person)
@Vepra
But the character isn’t Yoda! Youngling or The Child will suffice. The way Disney is going with Star Wars now I wouldn’t be surprised if they pulled a Han Solo name origin on this character and just call it Yoda due to people associating it to him.
@fafonio Oh dang. Glad that got dealt with.
please no oh please no
The Mando... 🧐
I do not accept this use of the title applied to Din Djarin. It's just awkward. Sounds akin to the term "Calif" being used as a slang variation.
@GameOtaku Nah, you're just overreacting and looking for problems in places where there are none
No worries anymore, his name is now Grogu. Figured it would be something that started with a Y but oh well...
This became true nice job
@LiamDoolan
Yakko Warner: "Aaeehhhh--I don't think this is the way..." 🤣
But seriously, how OP is this — who's going to attack The Child? Doing so is an ability some would consider unnatural.
@fafonio WOW what a *** He really did that WOW. Moving on from that I stoped playing fortnite for a good wile now I might give in bc of mando.
They're brilliant but I hope fortnite does them justice. My two teens love it but I think it is average
I would rather like to see a Star Wars Game about or with the Mandalorian, made by Disney Interactive. Yes Disney bring them back!
@GameOtaku they’ve already revealed his name though.
This is the way.
@locky-mavo
Then use it people!
@HotGoomba___Rebrand how dare you lightning mcqueen is my favorite how dare you spoil it reporting lol
@Ghostchip Don't do it or I'll spoil Shadow the Hedgehog for you
I love The Manalorian but I really dislike Fortnite.
@HotGoomba___Rebrand YOU WOULDNT DARE I HEAR THAT WAS THE BEST VIDRO GAME OF ALL TIME
@HotGoomba___Rebrand nevermind as long as you don't spoil sonic 06 I will be all right.
@Ghostchip Sanic deads
@HotGoomba___Rebrand (laughs at joking conversation but then is reminded of what sonic has become and cries)
@Ghostchip I feel you bud.
Is this a skin pack you purchase or he's in the battle pass
@Slinkoy1 saaame. I would probably never buy fortnite but this is cool
I'm so tired of baby yoda
His name is Grogu, not baby yoda.
Time to move on
I know Fortnite is one of the biggest games right now
But I feel like it's becoming more of an advertisement than a game, which is really disappointing.
Baby yoda... mando...? Disney deal done...
