Fortnite is adding an Obi-Wan Kenobi cosmetic bundle that'll let you drop down as the Jedi Master starting next week.

Epic started teasing the Fortnite Obi-Wan skin just in time for Star Wars Day, May 4, but the collaboration is actually launching fashionably late on Thursday, May 26 at 5pm PT / 8pm ET. 

The complete bundle comes with the Desert Essentials Back Bling (which gets you the outfit regardless), Obi-Wan's blade pickaxe, the Jedi Interceptor Glider, a special emote, and a themed loading screen.

In case you just can't wait until May 26, or if you just want to put your skills to the test, you can take part in the Obi-Wan Kenobi duos Cup to earn the Obi-Wan skin and Back Bling early. Epic also confirmed that lightsabers and E-11 blasters will be making a comeback for the Obi-Wan Cup.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
