"Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld" Premieres Exclusively in Fortnite Ahead of its Disney+ Debut

Plus, Players Can Link Their Epic and MyDisney Accounts to Unlock a First Order Stormtrooper Outfit

Epic and Disney are embarking on their most expansive Star Wars collaboration in Fortnite to date with the first entirely Star Wars-themed Battle Royale Season and the in-game premiere of "Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld" on May 2, two days ahead of its Disney+ launch. This marks the first debut of a Disney+ series in a game.

Recently announced at Star Wars Celebration, Fortnite: GALACTIC BATTLE begins May 2 and introduces new Star Wars content and gameplay to Battle Royale each week. Fans can play as Darth Jar Jar or Emperor Palpatine, while piloting ships like X-wings and TIE Fighters. The season will culminate in an epic in-game live event, Death Star Sabotage.

The Star Wars Watch Party island will also go live on May 2, and beginning at 10am ET, players will have a chance to view the first two episodes of Lucasfilm Animation's "Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld," an all-new anthology series of animated shorts from creator Dave Filoni focusing on the criminal underbelly of the Star Wars galaxy through the experiences of two iconic villains: Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane. Beyond the Star Wars Watch Party theater, players have the opportunity to fight off incoming waves of Stormtroopers using blasters and lightsabers. The standalone Star Wars Watch Party island was built in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) and uses official Star Wars assets to create a breathtaking environment inspired by a galaxy far, far away.

To further bridge the worlds of Fortnite and Disney, starting today players and fans can link their Epic Games and MyDisney accounts. Eligible players who choose to link their Epic and MyDisney accounts will unlock a First Order Stormtrooper Outfit to further celebrate the upcoming Star Wars season of Battle Royale - with more benefits to come. This is a first step to enable Fortnite players and Disney fans to seamlessly move between Epic and Disney's ecosystems, bringing more value to streaming subscribers as we work to build an all new Disney games and entertainment universe connected to Fortnite.

"For the first time, Disney+ is premiering a show inside a game, launching alongside our largest Star Wars collaboration with Fortnite to date - giving fans and players an exciting first look at the kinds of experiences they can expect as we shape a new future together," said Sean Shoptaw, Executive Vice President, Disney Games & Digital Entertainment. "We're building the next era of digital entertainment, where fans can play, watch, create and connect - and we're just beginning to tap into what's possible."

"Disney and Epic are pioneering the future of social entertainment together, and this expansive Star Wars collaboration offers a glimpse into the type of interactive experiences we envision," said Adam Sussman, President, Epic Games. "We are reimagining what's possible with immersive storytelling in Fortnite with one of the world's most beloved franchises - stay tuned for a lot more to come."
