Players who already bought the skin and later purchased the Fallen Order game will be compensated with 1,500 V-Bucks on their Fortnite account. The deal will last until November 30, 2020.<\/p>\n<div class=\" embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Imperial army has arrived.<\/p>\n<p>The Imperial Stormtrooper is scouting the Island.

It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re a little short (or even too tall), you can grab the Imperial Stormtrooper Outfit in the Item Shop now until November 17 at 7 PM ET!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Additionally, if you purchase Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on PC in the Epic Games Store, you\u2019ll receive the Imperial Stormtrooper Outfit for free!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is not Fortnite\u2019s first crossover with another company, franchise, or individual. The game has enjoyed partnerships with the likes of Marvel, Stranger Things, Marshmello, Avengers, Borderlands 3, National Football League, and even with Weezer in celebration of their 13th studio album.<\/p>\n<p>Such crossovers usually bring changes to the map, as well as new cosmetic skins and, on some occasions, even limited-time special events. Just last season, Fortnite joined forces with Batman, which introduced new skins and rift zone locations named Gotham City, while the Avengers crossover introduced players to Fortnite Infinity Gauntlet and gave them the opportunity to control Thanos. <\/p>\n<p>The Star Wars crossover, however, is likely to only feature a new cosmetic skin. That said, it is possible Epic Games will introduce an LTM (Limited Time Mode) or a Star Wars-themed zone.<\/p>\n<p><center><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" title=\"Latest esports news\">MORE FORTNITE NEWS<\/a><\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Epic Games&#8217; latest crossover was announced on Friday, November 15 as the company unveiled Fortnite\u2019s joint-venture with the creators of Star Wars in the build-up to the release of Jedi: Fallen Order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":8697,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[345,4,87,844,843],"class_list":["post-8695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-epic-games","tag-featured","tag-fortnite","tag-jedi-fallen-order","tag-star-wars"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
