Fortnite is becoming a full-on entertainment venue. The video game has been host to album debuts, a live concert, and now, it’ll turn into a makeshift theater to debut a new Star Wars trailer.
“The Rise of Skywalker†Director J.J. Abrams announced at The Game Awards that he will be in Fortnite this Saturday at 2 p.m. Eastern to debut a never-before-seen clip from the upcoming movie.
The event has been hinted at for some time at the Risky Reels location of the game. Currently, the game is selling three new skins based on Rey, Finn and a Sith trooper, along with other related items. The Saturday event will also give a free TIE Whisper glider to anyone who participates. Each skin is worth about $15 each.
Fortnite is not only one of the world’s most popular games, boasting millions of users every day, but it’s become a bit of a social network. And the game often hosts live events that bring the player base online. The game gained a lot of attention this fall by turning a scheduled downtime of the game into a large-scale story-based event, sucking the entire game into a virtual black hole.
