Fortnite’s ongoing Star Wars season has brought iconic characters, locations, and items from the galaxy far, far away into the battle royale, captivating fans with its immersive crossovers. The latest addition, the Mandalorian Rising update, is set to elevate this experience, with Epic Games releasing a dynamic new trailer on May 21, 2025. The new Mandalorian Rising trailer highlights the update’s exciting features, slated to launch on May 22, 2025, at 9 AM ET, bringing fresh Star Wars-themed content to players across all platforms.
The trailer offers a vivid glimpse into the Mandalorian Rising update, showcasing a blend of new gameplay mechanics and Star Wars authenticity. It introduces four recruitable Mandalorian NPCs—Heavy, Scout, Supply, and Medic—each with distinct abilities to enhance team strategies. The footage also emphasizes the return of the Mandalorian Jetpack, unvaulted for this event, allowing players to navigate the battlefield with fluid, high-flying mobility.
A new Mandalorian-themed Point of Interest (POI), featuring the Razor Crest and other Star Wars elements, is teased, promising an immersive environment for players to explore. Additionally, the trailer highlights the highly customizable Mandalorian Skin, with options to tweak armor pieces like the helmet, pauldrons, torso, and lower body, featuring styles such as Loyalty, Honor, and Strength, as revealed by HYPEX earlier this month. The trailer’s high-energy visuals set the stage for the update’s release, generating anticipation for its debut tomorrow.
New Weapons and Equipment
The Mandalorian Rising update introduces two new weapons inspired by The Mandalorian series. The Dual-Wield WESTAR-34 Blaster delivers rapid-fire shots, ideal for close-to-mid-range engagements, while the Amban Sniper Rifle, a long-range weapon iconic to the Star Wars franchise, offers high-damage precision for distant targets. The unvaulted Mandalorian Jetpack, a standout feature in the trailer, enhances mobility, enabling players to soar across the map with ease. These additions provide fresh tactical options, seamlessly blending Star Wars lore with Fortnite’s fast-paced gameplay.
