Fortnite celebrates May with official Star Wars modes and creator map

Published on May 02, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Epic Games and Lucasfilm have released the Star Wars Day calendar in Fortnite throughout May. Starting today, three official modes arrive in the game: Galactic Siege (10 vs 10 combat on iconic planets), Escape Vader (stealth cooperative mode against Darth Vader), and Droid Tycoon (droid building). Additionally, hundreds of creator islands use the official Star Wars kit.

The creation kit allows droids, lightsabers, and scenarios with precise physics 🌟

The official Star Wars kit for creative mode includes character, vehicle, and weapon assets with physics adapted to the Unreal Engine 5. Creators can implement combat systems with lightsabers, blasters, and stealth mechanics. Droid Tycoon, for example, uses authentic blueprints from the saga so players can assemble functional units, demonstrating the kit's flexibility for management and combat experiences.

Survive Vader while your friend builds an R2-D2 🤖

While some build droids in Droid Tycoon, others run through the corridors of a Death Star trying not to get toasted by Darth Vader's breath. Escape Vader is the perfect plan for that friend who always hides in horror games. And if you prefer organized chaos, Galactic Siege lets you die 15 times in a row while learning which character class you use. May the Force be with you.
