Greetings, PlayStation enthusiasts!
The sky above the Battle Royale Island isn’t hiding a moon—it’s revealing a Star Wars Season! Moreover, the festivities are just starting in LEGO Fortnite Brick Life. Across in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey, embark on an adventure and battle for cosmic dominance. The excitement continues in Rocket League with the new 2v2 Car Wars Limited Time Mode (LTM).
There’s much to explore, but fear not—these are the updates you’ve been awaiting! Let’s delve into the happenings across Epic Games, beginning with Fortnite Battle Royale.
A Menacing Presence in Battle Royale
Imperial Star Destroyers emerge from hyperspace in formation around the Death Star, which towers with its superlaser array aimed at the Battle Royale map. Heroes from various eras are prepared to retaliate against Emperor Palpatine’s shadowy assault, with the Island’s destiny teetering in the balance. Prepare your lightsaber and blaster on May 2 in Fortnite: Galactic Showdown!
New Terrain to Navigate, Revamped Arms to Acquire
Pushing back the Imperial conquest will require every blaster and vessel at your disposal, and these fresh locations will aid you in doing just that! The First Order Base, Outpost Outpost, Resistance Base, and Vader Samurai’s Retreat are all geared up for exploration (and plundering!). Just be cautious—you never know who you might encounter.
The Weapons of Choice for the Force-Elite
A refined weapon for a more civilized era, wielding a lightsaber is the hallmark of a Jedi Knight, though it’s also favored by their sworn adversaries, the Sith. Lightsabers are remarkably useful for deflecting blaster bolts, and wielding one will grant you enhanced sprint speed, double jump height, and immunity to falling damage. You’ll need to prove your worth to earn one, though… Or simply take it from another player.
How to prove yourself? Train with holographic disciples of both the light and dark sides to unlock their respective lightsaber and Force Ability. Force Push, Force Lightning, and Force Saber Throw are the Force Abilities you can master on day one, with more becoming accessible later in the Season!
Heed the Call: Start Your Offensive
When it comes to non-lightsaber weaponry, it’s blasters only on day one, with the exception of the Thermal Imploder that’ll cause its unique blast. You’ve got your DL-44 Blaster Pistol, ACP Scatter Blaster, E-11 Blaster, and several more.
Be mindful of holding down the trigger, as these weapons are susceptible to overheating!
Eager to engage in dogfights for your next Victory Royale? Command the Imperial TIE fighter, armed with potent blasters, or the agile X-wing and take to the skies!
Weekly Gameplay Updates
May 8 – The Power of the Force
Detecting a disturbance in the Force, Leia and Luke will arrive on the Island alongside famed smuggler Han Solo to provide strategic assistance!
Additionally, train with Holographic Mace Windu to earn a Purple Lightsaber and master Force Pull. Gather almost anything and anyone nearby with this Force Ability.
Rumor has it that Sith Lord Darth Maul will also manifest as a hologram, offering Red Lightsabers and teaching Force Throw, which allows you to launch nearby objects as projectiles…
May 15 – Don’t Underestimate the Wookiee
Meet Chewbacca and his Wookiee Bowcaster added to the loot pool to bolster the rebels. You’ll also find an intense new addition: the CA-87 Jawa Scatter Blaster in chests scattered throughout the Island!
