Star Wars\u2019 Luke Skywalker could drop into Fortnite soon Details found in a Fortnite datamine indicate that Luke Skywalker of Star Wars fame will soon land on the Island. Fortnite has played host to Star Wars-related content updates in the past. One such update went live just last month in time for Star Wars Day, reintroducing several Lightsabers and non-Battle Pass Outfits. The 21.10 update that Epic Games deployed on June 21 added Darth Vader to the mix, allowing players to face off against the Sith Lord for a chance at wielding his Lightsaber. Recent rumors claimed the likes of Han Solo, Leia Organa, and Luke Skywalker would enter the fray by 2023, as well. Now another noteworthy piece of information has surfaced to partially support the claim. Luke Skywalker could be coming to Fortnite According to leaker FNBRintel, Fortnite\u2019s 21.20 patch added a Lightsaber for Luke with the codename of \u201cNPC\u201d attached. FNBRintel posits that if Luke Skywalker does join the fun as a non-playable character, he\u2019ll serve the same function as Darth Vader. As such, the fan-favorite character could arrive as a boss that users must fight in order to earn his Lightsaber. Luke Skywalker could be coming to Fortnite sooner then we think! In the latest update a new\/updated lightsaber got added for him with the codename “”NPC”” so his NPC could work similar to how the Darth Vader one currently does! #Fortnite pic.twitter.com\/GhCwORIffQ \u2014 FNBRintel (@FNBRintel) June 21, 2022 At the time of writing, Epic Games has yet to so much as hint at Luke Skywalker joining the battle royale in any capacity. The studio\u2019s ongoing silence about the supposed Star Wars update means there\u2019s no official word on when Fortnite players can expect the alleged Luke Skywalker content to become available. For now, Epic Games\u2019 focus remains squared on pushing out another major crossover event \u2013 Naruto Rivals. The Naruto Shippuden-themed content goes live on Thursday, June 23, adding four beloved members of Team 7 to the game \u2013 Gaara, Hinata Hyuga, Itachi Uchiha, and Orochimaru.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
