Fortnite Reveal December Plans for Iconic Star Wars Character Boba Fett

Fortnite seems to be adding yet another beloved character from a fan-favorite franchise to its roster. The fan-loved bounty hunter Boba Fett will be the latest edition to the Battle Royale game. He will be appearing in-game in December.

It is confirmed that yet again, Star Wars will collaborate with Fortnite.

Going by his real name, Bob Feet, the iconic character will launch in Fortnite as a new skin. He will make an appearance on 24th December, 4 PM PT. Adding on, Boba Fett might not be the sole character to be added. Inferring from the Tweet posted by Epic Games, Fett’s companion Fennec Shand will be present. However, it is still unclear whether or not she will also be available as a skin, something else, or whether or not she will even be present at all.

Shand is visible alongside a potential Emote of the Mandalorian symbol of a Mythosaur. There is a possibility that the Tusken Raider’s Gaffi Stick will feature in the shop as a Pickaxe.

The recent addition of The Mandalorian in the game is no coincidence. It is a well-known fact that Fortnite is a game marketed to a younger audience. This coincides with the promotional campaign for The Mandalorian series on Disney +.

This is not Bobba’s first rodeo with the game. He appeared in Fortnite alongside Din Djarin as a part of a questline last year. Boba’s skin will release prior to the show’s release on November 29th.

There has been no information on the prices or the criteria required to unlock this character. Regardless, it seems that the character will be immensely popular. He is bound to attract the attention of players and will definitely create hype for the already juggernaut of a show.

The Disney+ show, The Book of Boba Fett, will see the protagonist and his exploits in Tatooine, working to fill the power vacuum created after the death of Jabba the Hutt.
