Fortnite players have reason to be excited as leaks suggest Anakin Skywalker will be returning to Fortnite as a hostile boss NPC before the conclusion of the Galactic Battle season. Epic Games has been integrating Star Wars elements into Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode throughout this month, bringing spaceships, weapons, landmarks, and iconic characters to the island. Now, it looks like Anakin Skywalker might be joining the fray.
The Galactic Battle update, which launched on May 2, introduced a wealth of new content, but players quickly ran through everything, with no fresh content for the first two weeks. Thankfully, an update scheduled for May 15 promises new quests and cosmetics, including the highly anticipated General Grievous skin, which will become obtainable through the Galactic Battle Pass.
Currently, Fortnite features multiple Star Wars NPCs, but rumors and leaks indicate that Anakin Skywalker will soon join as a hostile boss. According to a recent post by Fortnite leaker Loolo_WLRD, players can expect to encounter a new boss NPC, believed to be Anakin, who will likely be guarding a special medallion and unique loot. This follows the pattern of other Fortnite boss fights where players battle to claim exclusive rewards.
The addition of Anakin Skywalker as a boss NPC would continue Fortnite’s tradition of immersive, cross-franchise collaborations, and bring fresh challenges for fans of both Fortnite and Star Wars.
Keep an eye out for the May 15 update to see if the rumors come true and prepare for an epic showdown against one of the most legendary figures in the Star Wars universe.
