Fortnite Adds Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run For Star Wars Collab
Disney and Fortnite have partnered for a new Star Wars collaboration — the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction is reimagined in Fortnite as Smugglers’ Gambit.
Article Summary
- Fortnite and Disney launch a new Star Wars collab, bringing Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run into Smugglers’ Gambit.
- Smugglers’ Gambit lets squads explore Mersa Veta Station and Ord Ryla on co-op missions, quests, and battles.
- Disney park guests can accept a special Smugglers Run mission to earn crate rewards that carry into Fortnite.
- Built with Unreal Engine tech shared by Fortnite and Smugglers Run, the island uses authentic Star Wars ride assets.
Disney and Epic Games have come together to launch a unique Star Wars experience into Fortnite, as they have added a new Smugglers’ Gambit island. Taking the world of Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run from the theme parks and mixing it with the interactive fun of the video game, they have created this new collaborative expansion to the game, where you and your friends take on an adventure together.
If you’ve never been a part of the collaborative theme park ride, the shorthand is that you’re all piloting the Millennium Falcon for a quick smuggling job, and depending on how all of you play, the job could go amazingly well, or you barely escape. This version has the same vibes, only with you leaving the ship to go do the job in person using Fortnite‘s setup. We have more details and images here, along with the latest trailer, as the mode is available tomorrow, August 16.
