Fortnite is adding three new Star Wars games on May 1, 2026, as part of a larger month of Star Wars content from Epic, Disney and Lucasfilm.
The three highlighted games are Galactic Siege, Escape Vader and Droid Tycoon. Epic says hundreds of Star Wars islands will go live starting May 1.
The three games
Galactic Siege, developed with JOGO Studios, is a 10v10 class-based PvP game set across Star Wars planets. The island code is 5003-9856-3648.
Escape Vader, made with Beyond Creative, is a four-player co-op game where players try to escape Darth Vader. The island code is 7285-4185-5428.
Droid Tycoon, created with FOAD, lets players build and customize droids using Star Wars blueprints. The island code is 7865-8305-9184.
More Star Wars content in May
Epic says new Star Wars quests will roll out on May 1 and continue every week in May. Players can complete those quests in any Star Wars games to earn free rewards.
A separate The Mandalorian and Grogu Watch Party Island opens May 19 at 10 a.m. ET. It includes a special message from Jon Favreau and a 10-minute sneak peek of the movie before its May 22 theatrical release.
Players who spend 20 minutes exploring Nevarro can unlock the Mandalorian Sanctuary loading screen. A Jon Favreau Q&A is scheduled for May 26 inside the island’s amphitheater.
What to know
Epic says new and returning Star Wars outfits and items will rotate through the shop throughout May.
The practical date is May 1, when the new Star Wars games and weekly quest rollout begin. LEGO Fortnite Odyssey gets its own Star Wars update May 14, with the Hover Brick, hover vehicles, Mando and Grogu, and Star Wars enemies.
Epic also says eligible players can link an Epic Games Account with a MyDisney Account through Oct. 31, 2026, to unlock the free Carbonite Fishstick Back Bling.
