Are Lightsabers Still in Fortnite?

Are lightsabers still in Fortnite? Fortnite and Star Wars fans want to know!

Previously, Epic Games brought these iconic weapons into Fortnite under a collaboration event with the Star Wars franchise. This was originally done to celebrate the release of the Rise of Skywalker movie and many fans thought they would remain in-game. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case, and they were removed shortly after the Winterfest Event which required players to use them in a challenge.

Thanks to a new tweet by Fortnite, however, it looks like they may be available once again.

The lightsabers have returned once more to Fortnite. There are four different kinds:

• Yoda's Green
• Kylo Ren's Red
• Luke Skywalker's Blue
• Mace Windu's Purple

These will only be available for use for a limited time so players should hurry to grab them if they so choose. Those who took part in the Rise of Skywalker event will remember that lightsabers are mythic-quality weapons.

The re-addition of the lightsabers comes just in time for "Star Wars Day" on May 4 this year, alongside similarly themed cosmetics available in the store. Epic Games has yet to confirm an official end date for these weapons, but some players are reporting May 6 as the most plausible.
