Epic Games has teased exciting Force-themed content for Fortnite this week, with potential surprises still in store for the upcoming May the Fourth event. A leaked report by renowned Fortnite insider Shiina hints at a Yoda Gear Bundle set to be introduced in tomorrow’s update.
This bundle will feature Yoda’s Cane as a pickaxe and offer players the chance to equip Yoda as back bling once more. The visual design is expected to pay homage to the memorable scene from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, where Yoda imparts his wisdom to Luke Skywalker in the swamps of Dagobah.
Given the significance of this moment in Star Wars lore, it’s fitting that Epic Games would incorporate it into their next collaboration with the Star Wars universe in Fortnite.
What’s the Latest?
Shiina has previously shared details in advance on a variety of topics, such as the recent Avatar: The Last Airbender items. Specifically, Shiina informed Fortnite players about the estimated cost of acquiring the entire Star Wars collection from the shop, which could amount to around 12,000 V-Bucks. For those who prefer not to spend that much, there will be quests offering free gear, although access may require a premium battle pass.
In the upcoming update on May 3rd, Fortnite players can anticipate new outfits for characters like Dagobah Luke and Lando Calrissian, as well as returning outfits. Additionally, there will be new car body options with Mandalorian paint schemes and musical items like the Mad About Me Jam Track and Endorian Drum Kit. The collaboration between Fortnite and Star Wars spans different game modes and represents various aspects of the Star Wars universe.
In Battle Royale mode, players will have opportunities to team up with Chewbacca equipped with a Wookiee Bowcaster or engage in battles against Darth Vader and Stormtroopers to acquire their weapons. Exciting rewards await those who participate in quests.

This collaboration also extends to LEGO Fortnite, Fortnite Festival events, and Rocket Racing activities. Players can look forward to experiences like enjoying music at a Mos Eisley Cantina-inspired area during the Festival Jam Stage or unlocking special rewards like Podracer vehicles and Darth Maul Decals in Rocket Racing mode.
