- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
The next guest on the Fortnite island? The Mandalorian and The Child (aka Baby Yoda).
The popular online action game kicked off its fifth season Wednesday, called Zero Point, which will feature a host of new skins and gear including the infamous bounty hunter from the Star Wars TV series on Disney+.
The Mandalorian will be available as a skin, while The Child is available as gear players can carry on their back.
The Zero Point has turned Fortnite's island into a desert landscape, and bounty hunters from across realities have been pulled in to fight.
The Mandalorian skin is available to players who purchase this season's Battle Pass. There's also a quest within Fortnite that will unlock armor for The Mandalorian and other bounty hunters within the game, including one with a head made of pancakes.
This season follows Tuesday's big Marvel-themed event where players vanquished the world-eating giant Galactus. Publisher Epic Games said more than 15 million concurrent players participated.
Join the Hunt.
