"Star Wars: Underworld Premieres on Fortnite 2 Days Before Disney+"
Star Wars fans eager to dive into the first episodes of Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld will need to venture into Fortnite to watch the series premiere before it hits Disney+. Epic Games has unveiled an exciting expansion of its Star Wars content, announcing that the first two episodes of the animated spinoff will debut exclusively within Fortnite. This move is part of Epic's strategy to enhance its Star Wars offerings for the upcoming Galactic Battle season, which promises a plethora of Star Wars-themed rewards.
Starting at 10 a.m. ET on May 2, you can catch the kickoff of Tales of the Underworld with two episodes featuring Asajj Ventress on the Star Wars Watch Party island—two full days before the show becomes available to Disney+ subscribers. Epic is encouraging fans to link their Epic Games and MyDisney accounts, with the added incentive of a First Order Stormtrooper outfit for eligible players. While the full scope of benefits from connecting these accounts remains a mystery, Epic hints at more perks on the horizon."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," Epic Games President Adam Sussman stated. "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."
You'll have until May 11 to watch these initial episodes of Tales of the Underworld, as the Star Wars Watch Party island will go offline after that date. The island also includes a Battle Arena where players can engage in combat using lightsabers against waves of enemies. Completing both episodes will reward viewers with an Asajj Ventress loading screen.

Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld is a six-episode series animated in the style of The Clone Wars, following the adventures of Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane. The official description hints that Ventress will encounter a new chance at life and a new ally, while Bane is forced to confront his past.
Disney's collaboration with Fortnite extends well beyond the Galactic Battle season. In March 2024, Disney acquired a $1.5 billion stake in Epic, setting the stage for long-term collaboration with the game developer. This partnership will bring more Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar outfits to the popular battle royale game, with highlights from the next season including Darth Jar Jar and Emperor Palpatine.
Since its launch in 2017, Fortnite has continued to dominate the gaming space. Recent collaborations, such as the Sabrina Carpenter crossover that had players putting down the pickaxes and putting on their dancing shoes, have helped maintain its status as a leading game.
