Everything you need to know about the Fortnite Lightsaber collaboration
Just in time for May 4, Fortnite is once again adding the iconic Star Wars weapon back into the game. This is an exciting addition since the lightsabers were incredibly well-received when last included within the game two years ago.
Players will be able to roam the map looking for chests that may contain the popular sword from a galaxy far far away. When found, players will be able to use elegant weapons from a more civilized time to fight off other players in hopes of winning that special 'Victory Royale.'
Fortnite has included a vast range of popular Star Wars characters' Lightsabers including Kylo Ren, Luke Skywalker, Mace Windu, and more. This allows players to choose whether they want to join the dark side or the light side of the force.
The duration of how long lightsabers will be included back within the game is currently unknown.
