‘The Mandalorian & Grogu’ Watch Party Island Is Coming to ‘Fortnite’
The Walt Disney Company’s $1.5 billion investment in Epic Games will bear new fruit next month when a wide range of new Star Wars experiences debuts in Fortnite.
Beginning May 1, hundreds of Star Wars islands will go live in the popular game, allowing fans to join together to race tauntauns across icy tracks, run a bustling cantina on Tatooine, pilot a T-65B X-wing starfighter, and embark on imaginative Star Wars adventures.
