The Star Wars collaborations just keep on coming in Fortnite. Next Thursday, fans will be able to get their hands on an Obi-Wan Kenobi skin, just in time for the brand new Disney+ show's launch on 27th May.
If you're an eager Jedi and want to get your hands on the costume early, you can compete in the Obi-Wan Kenobi Cup. Kicking off this Sunday, 22nd May, you'll need to be at account level 50 and have two-factor authentication enabled on your Epic account. Lightsabers and e-11 Blaster Rifles will be making a return, too, and you'll also have a chance to get the Desert Essentials Back Bling alongside Obi-Wan.
The tournament is a Battle Royal Duo one, and you'll be able to play up to ten matches within your region's three-hour time window. You can find out exactly what time the tournament starts in your area by checking the "Compete" tab in-game.
As well as the outfit, you'll be able to get all of these goodies below when Obi-Wan joins properly on 26th May:
- Desert Essentials Back Bling (included with the Outfit): An assortment of tools perfect for living an isolated existence on a remote desert planet.
- Obi-Wan’s Blade Pickaxe: An ol’ reliable partner.
- Jedi Interceptor Glider: Your new fighter has arrived.
- Obi-Wan’s Message Emote: An important transmission…

He looks like he does in episode 2.
I don’t like this constant crossover world we live in…
I might get this skin. Might.
But why now? Something must be going on...
Ahh yes, Obi-Wan Kenobi and his iconic
lightsaberknifeDisney should just buy fortnite at this point.
So when Disney representatives were talking to epic games representatives, do you think the negotiations were short?
I really like the loading screen the bundle comes with (they teased a future lore-important skin in it for anyone who cares) but I don't want the skin. I think I'd get it if it were more stylized like the Clone Wars series. Aw man, I hope later they have cell-shaded Clone Wars/Rebels skins, that would be sick.
@westman98 As much as it sucks the reason no lightsabers are pickaxes is because they like to bring them in-game as weapons every now and then. They're fun to use, but it means we'll never get lightsaber pickaxes.
So uncivilized.
Seems like Disney doesn't need to create a Battle Royale game. They already have one.
@westman98
Maybe the knife will be iconic in the show? 🤷
Too many fortnite crossovers these days, like I just don't care anymore. Its not special when every thing in existance seems to get one. Its better in Smash cause you feel like you're actually playing as the character, instead of just looking like them and that they actually have a place there. Like I don't feel like Superman when I'm running on the ground shooting guns.
