We ’ve had Star Wars inFortnitebefore , and we did n’t get any details about specific skins or additions , but the trailer point IG-11 and Moff Gideon fromThe Mandalorian , along with Grogu Back Bling ( a previous version was usable during Season 5 ) .
When it was first annunciate that Disney was enthrone in the battle royale in February , we see concept art that show multiple Disney universes inside the game , similar to one of the company ’s theme parks . There has n’t been any update on these plans just yet , but we can assume that the partnership will go beyond just some more fun skin and crossover events .
