Summary
According to new information fromFortnitedataminers, the previously leaked Sith Rey skin will apparently have an additional style that can only be obtained via Twitch Drops.Fortnitehas collaborated withStar Warsseveral times over the past few years, which is why there are dozens, if not hundreds, of themed cosmetics released for the game’s various modes.Star Warscollaborations inFortniteare more likely to happen during the month of May, as it’s the yearly celebration of the franchise.
This May the Fourth was particularly big forStar Warsfans inFortnite, as players were surprised with a full-blown season, which lasted the entire month and will be live until June 7. Then, it’ll come to an end with a bang with theDeath Star Sabotage live eventtaking place on its final day at 2 PM ET. Before then, there is still someFortnitecontent that gamers can explore, namely the Twitch Drop community goal and giveaway starting May 29.
Epic Games announced theFortnitexStar WarsTwitch Drop event in the blog post focused on therelease of update v35.20. The post revealed that players would be able to unlock themed sprays, emoticons, and loading screens, but that was it. However, according to a Twitch Drop leak uncovered by MoLentRo, aFortniteconcept creator, fans will be able to unlock anadditional Apprentice style for the upcoming Sith Rey skin.
When Is Sith Rey Coming to Fortnite?
For those unfamiliar with this skin,Sith Rey is aStar Warscosmetic rumored to hit the Item Shop soon. The current expected release date for Sith Rey is May 29 at 8 PM ET, so if the rumors are confirmed to be true, gamers will be able to rock this skin before the end of Galactic Battle. It is likely that the simplerTwitch DropStar Warsrewardswill become available first, and then Apprentice Rey will be given away last.
According to Blortzen, a knownFortniteleaker, the Rey skin’s codename indicates that she was supposed to be part of the Galactic Battle Pass. However, she was replaced by Apprentice Evie, the skin that players receive as soon as they purchase the pass. TheGalactic Battle Passis a healthy mix ofFortnitecharacters andStar Warscharacters. It is possible that Rey was put on the back burner to avoid overloading the pass with too many characters that are exclusive to theStar Warsfranchise.
