Fortnite is releasing a new Mandalorian Rising update on May 22.
Fortnite has shared new details about its upcoming Mandalorian Rising update, which will bring the fan-favorite warriors to the island with new items and weapons on May 22. Epic Games recently released Fortnite‘s first Star Wars-themed mini-season titled Galactic Battle, which has added iconic characters like Mace Windu, Emperor Palpatine, and General Grievous to the battle royale.
While the Star Wars mini-season has been popular with a large portion of the community, Fortnite is currently facing some legal trouble after adding an AI version of Darth Vader to the game. Shortly after the NPC was released, SAG-AFTRA issued a lawsuit against Epic Games for its use of AI. Currently, players are able to recruit Darth Vader into their squad and have fully voiced conversations with the Sith Lord, which has resulted in many content creators posting clips of their interactions online.
