Fortnite

Fortnite is a video game developed and published by Epic Games. Several of its updates have included Star Wars content, beginning with the Fortnite X Star Wars event which occurred in the Battle Royale mode to promote between December 14, 2019 and January 7, 2020. Since then, new Star Wars cosmetics have been added periodically, and Fortnite has hosted entire Star Wars limited-time events such as "Find the Force" and "Skywalker Week." As Fortnite has further expanded into a game platform and debuted other game modes (namely Fortnite Festival, LEGO Fortnite, and Rocket Racing), special Star Wars content has been added to these modes as well. Some Star Wars cosmetics are also compatible with the Save the World and Creative game modes.
In the world of Fortnite, an alternate version of the Star Wars universe exists as an adjacent reality to the several realities that the game's various modes take place in, and crosses over with them. This makes the Star Wars universe one of the many realities spawned from the Zero Point and connects it to the game's larger continuity. The Star Wars reality formerly crossed over with Reality Zero before the latter's collapse during the events of The Big Bang.
