Fans eager to dive into the early episodes of Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld will need to jump into Fortnite to catch the series premiere before it lands on Disney+.
Epic Games unveiled its plan to expand its Star Wars universe within the game, announcing that the first two episodes of the upcoming animated spinoff will debut exclusively on Fortnite. This move is part of Epic's strategy to ramp up Star Wars content for its forthcoming Galactic Battle season, which promises a slew of Star Wars-themed rewards.
You can experience the launch of Tales of the Underworld with two episodes featuring Asajj Ventress on the Star Wars Watch Party island starting at 10 a.m. ET on May 2 – two days before its Disney+ debut. Epic encourages fans to link their Epic Games and MyDisney accounts, rewarding eligible players with a First Order Stormtrooper outfit. While the full scope of benefits from linking accounts remains undisclosed, Epic hints at "more benefits to come."“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,” said Epic Games President Adam Sussman. “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.”
The Star Wars Watch Party island will be available until May 11, giving fans ample time to watch both episodes. Additionally, the island features a Battle Arena where players can engage in combat using lightsabers against waves of enemies. Those who watch both episodes will be rewarded 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, that follows the adventures of Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane. The series promises a fresh start for Ventress with a new ally, while Bane grapples with his past.
Disney's partnership with Fortnite goes beyond the upcoming Galactic Battle season. In March 2024, Disney acquired a $1.5 billion stake in Epic, paving the way for long-term collaborations. This alliance will bring more Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar outfits to the popular battle royale game, with highlights in the next season including Darth Jar Jar and Emperor Palpatine.
Since its launch in 2017, Fortnite has continued to dominate the space. Recent collaborations, such as the one with Sabrina Carpenter, have helped maintain its popularity, encouraging players to put down the pickaxes and put on their dancing shoes.
