Incredible Kylo Ren Fortnite x Star Wars skin and pickaxe leaked
Leakers have released images of an upcoming Kylo Ren skin to Fortnite, and it appears to capture the First Order’s evil leader with impressive accuracy.
The Fortnite X Star Wars crossover event took place on December 14, seeing an exclusive clip from the upcoming Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker premier in-game, in the Risky Reels location.
While the event was marred by some technical issues – for which hacker group ‘Lizard Squad’ have claimed responsibility – those that were able to successfully watch the event agreed it was another entertaining and ambitious crossover achieved by Epic Games.
