Fortnite Leaks Suggest Samurai Darth Vader and Stormtrooper Skins
A recent leak hints at the return of Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper to Fortnite, but with a surprising twist: a samurai-inspired redesign. The leaked images, reportedly from a promotional poster in a shopping center, show both characters sporting padded, feudal-era armor reminiscent of samurai attire. This unexpected aesthetic shift contrasts sharply with their usual futuristic gear.
The leak originates from a reliable Fortnite data miner, adding credibility to the rumor. Given Fortnite's history of successful Star Wars collaborations (Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia are already in the game), and Disney's increased involvement, this new crossover seems highly plausible.
This news comes amidst Fortnite's Winterfest event, a 14-day celebration featuring free cosmetics, new quests, and collaborations like the recent Mariah Carey addition. The potential release of these samurai skins could further enhance the excitement surrounding the holiday event.
The timing of the promotional poster suggests an imminent release date for the new skins. This presents another chance for players to acquire a Darth Vader skin, previously only obtainable through a battle pass. The generally positive fan reaction to this leak stands in contrast to the less enthusiastic reception of previous collaborations, like the Skibidi Toilet event.
This leak is just one piece of exciting news for Fortnite fans. December has been a busy month for Epic Games, with the recent success of Fortnite OG mode (surpassing one million players within hours of launch), the introduction of Brick Life and Ballistic game modes, and significant enhancements to the LEGO Fortnite mode. The addition of samurai-themed Star Wars skins would undoubtedly add another layer of excitement to the already vibrant Fortnite landscape.
