Summary
- Fortnite may be collaborating with Star Wars once again on May 2.
- The crossover may include a 35-day mini-season fully focused on Star Wars.
- Previous full-season collaborations with Marvel have proven to be divisive, which might be why Epic Games is pursuing a mini-season.
A prominent Fortnite leaker has claimed that the popular battle royale could be crossing over with Star Wars again on May 2. In addition, several dataminers have stated that Sabrina Carpenter may be coming to Fortnite as the next major Fortnite Festival artist on April 8.
It has also been rumored that Fortnite might be adding several Mortal Kombat characters to the game, including Raiden, Kitana, and Scorpion.

Fortnite May Be Crossing Over With Dragon Ball Daima
A prominent Fortnite leaker claims Dragon Ball Daima may be crossing over with Epic Games’ popular battle royale in the near future.
In a recent post on Twitter, the popular leaker HYPEX revealed that Fortnite could be getting a mini-season on May 2 that will have a heavy Star Wars theme. The season is only rumored to last for 35 days, possibly making it one of the shortest in Fortnite‘s history. There’s currently no word on which characters may be added to the battle royale, but many fans are hoping to see crossovers with the hit show Andor and the popular video game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
Fortnite Could Be Getting a Star Wars Mini-Season
This isn’t the first time Fortnite has collaborated with Star Wars, as fans were recently able to purchase samurai variants of Darth Vader and the Stormtrooper. Other characters have also been featured in previous battle passes, such as Darth Vader and The Mandalorian. Many iconic Star Wars figures have also come to the game’s Item Shop, including characters from the prequel, original, and sequel trilogies.
While franchise-themed seasons have been popular in the past, they can also be divisive within the larger community. Epic Games has orchestrated multiple full-season collaborations between Marvel and Fortnite, which were largely a success. However, for gamers who don’t have an interest in those properties, the idea of a full season can drive them away. A lot of people seem to believe this is why Epic Games is pursuing a mini-season instead of a full-length one, which could become a trend if it’s popular enough. As with all leaks, this information should be taken with a grain of salt. While a large number of rumors do come true, some are never fully realized or may be canceled entirely. With a whole new season on the way and even more content to look forward to, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Fortnite.
