Update: Boba Fett has assembled an army in Disney + seriesand his hired help is also following him in Fortnite. If you pop into the game’s item shop today, you can purchase the skins of Boba Fett’s trusty right-hand man, Fennec Shand, and the wookiee bounty hunter, Krrsantan.
You can also purchase Fennec’s airship as a glider, and the “Here’s how” emojis highlight the famous line. All of these skins and items are offered in bundles at a reduced price. Like all licensed themes, these will not be in the store long before being removed. If you missed Boba Fett the first time around, he’s back with his Firespray coaster. You can also add a storm plane to your ranks.
If you watched Books by Boba Fett, you’ll probably want to see more characters from the show make the move to Fortnite. Let’s hope Epic Games and Lucasfilm haven’t finished this Star Wars collaboration yet. Someone who just appeared on the show makes perfect sense for a Fortnite crossover.
Original story: Books by Boba Fett coming to Disney+ on December 29, but you don’t have to wait that long to play the fearsome bounty hunter in Fortnite. He was added to the store today, showing off his new look from the upcoming streaming series.
If you just buy the Boba skin, you’ll also get his Z-6 jet pack, as well as emojis when he uses his aiming calculator. You can also purchase his spaceship (formerly known as Slave One) separately as a glider and his gaffi stick as a harvesting tool. You can bundle everything together in one package if you want it all.
Boba isn’t the only Star Wars character in Fortnite right now. While it’s a new face, he’s the only new face from Books by Boba FettEpic Games has brought back the previously released royal storm trooper skin, along with the Y-Wing glider and a dark face emoji.
It is likely that more characters from this series will appear in Fortnite over time, but for now, we will have to use the new tenant of Jabba Palace. Unlike Fortnite’s release of The Mandalorian content last year, Boba Fett’s arrival doesn’t add new quests or armor upgrades – just skins and themed accessories.
Epic updates Fortnite’s store every day with new content at 4pm PST. We’re still waiting for the Matrix skin, which we believe will be coming after the recently added emoji and glider, but it’s likely that’s all we’ll get. Epic will likely move into Star Wars and other properties in the coming days. We’ll have to wait and see what happens next.
