In Fortnite, a new crossover with Star Wars and the new game Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order has started today. We will show you what this crossover has brought to the game and how you can buy the cool skin associated with it.
What kind of event is this? Fortnite and Star Wars have launched a crossover. This was announced with a trailer from Epic Games. There is a skin that can be purchased, and a “Star Destroyer” has appeared in the sky.
This is the trailer for the event:

Here’s how to get the “Stormtrooper Skin”
What kind of skin is this? The Stormtrooper is known from the Star Wars movies, where they fight alongside Darth Vader for the Imperium. Now, there is also a skin for the Stormtrooper in Fortnite that you can purchase.
How can you get the skin? There are 2 different ways to get the Stormtrooper.
The first option: You can buy the skin in Fortnite’s item shop for 1500 V-Bucks. The process is exactly the same as with the other skins that can be purchased in the shop. You simply top up your V-Bucks balance and can then get the skin directly.
The second option: This option might be especially worthwhile for fans of Star Wars. If you were going to buy the game, Jedi: Fallen Order anyway, it’s even more beneficial. If you purchase the Star Wars game in the Epic Store, you will receive a free code for the Stormtrooper skin in Fortnite.

Epic Games promotes its store
Why are they doing this? It’s noticeable that Fortnite is frequently doing crossovers with new major game titles. Recently it was with Borderlands 3: This even had its own zone in the game:
- Epic is clearly using this to promote its own “Epic Games Store”, which they want to establish as a competitor to Steam.
- Such deals are attractive for companies because they reach a new audience through Fortnite, especially young players.
What do you think of this crossover? Will you buy the Stormtrooper?
