Sith Rey Joins Fortnite in Epic Star Wars Collaboration Finale

The Star Wars saga continues to leave its mark on Fortnite as the Galactic Battle season nears its conclusion with an electrifying addition: Sith Rey. Revealed by the trusted leaker iFireMonkey, this new skin captures a darker vision of the beloved Star Wars character, wielding her iconic red double-bladed lightsaber. Set to arrive in the Fortnite Item Shop on May 30, 2025, at 8 PM ET, this release marks the final wave of Star Wars content for the season, giving players one last chance to immerse themselves in the Force before the season wraps up.

The Sith Rey cosmetics bundle, officially titled the Apprentice Rey Bundle, is priced at 2,000 V-Bucks and includes a variety of items for players to customize their galactic experience. The centerpiece is the Apprentice Rey outfit, available for 1,500 V-Bucks, which comes with both a LEGO style and a Dark Side Vision Rey variant for added flair. Complementing the outfit is the Sacred Jedi Text Back Bling (400 V-Bucks), a nod to Rey’s journey in The Last Jedi. For those looking to complete the look, the bundle also features Ochi’s Blade Pickaxe (500 V-Bucks), Rey’s Speeder Glider (800 V-Bucks), and The Last Jedi Wrap (500 V-Bucks). Two emotes round out the collection: the Jakku Barter Emote for 300 V-Bucks and the Lil’ Sandcrawler Emote for 500 V-Bucks, bringing a playful touch to the Sith-inspired set.

This release adds to the growing roster of Star Wars skins in Fortnite, following the introduction of other iconic characters and creative spins like Darth Jar Jar earlier in the season. The Sith Rey skin draws inspiration from a brief but memorable moment in The Last Jedi, where Rey confronts a dark vision of herself, making this a unique addition to the game’s ever-expanding Star Wars universe.

How to Get the Sith Rey Skin in Fortnite

For players eager to wield the power of the dark side with Sith Rey, here’s a step-by-step guide to secure this limited-time skin before it disappears from the Fortnite Item Shop:

1. Launch Fortnite and Check the Item Shop
   The Sith Rey skin officially launches on May 30, 2025, at 8 PM ET. As of today, May 29, 2025, at 11:53 AM EDT, the skin is not yet available but will appear tomorrow evening. Open Fortnite on your preferred platform (PC, console, or mobile) and navigate to the Item Shop tab from the main menu after the release time.

2. Locate the Apprentice Rey Bundle or Skin
   Once in the Item Shop, look for the Star Wars section or search for “Apprentice Rey.” You’ll find the standalone Apprentice Rey outfit for 1,500 V-Bucks, which includes the Sith Rey style, a LEGO style, and the Dark Side Vision Rey variant. Alternatively, the full Apprentice Rey Bundle is available for 2,000 V-Bucks, which includes additional cosmetics like the Sacred Jedi Text Back Bling, Ochi’s Blade Pickaxe, Rey’s Speeder Glider, The Last Jedi Wrap, and the Jakku Barter Emote. The Lil’ Sandcrawler Emote (500 V-Bucks) is sold separately and not included in the bundle.

3. Ensure You Have Enough V-Bucks
   Check your V-Bucks balance in the top-right corner of the Item Shop. The standalone skin requires 1,500 V-Bucks, while the bundle costs 2,000 V-Bucks. If you’re short on V-Bucks, you can purchase more through the in-game store. For example, 1,000 V-Bucks costs around $7.99, and 2,800 V-Bucks (enough for the bundle with some leftover) costs approximately $19.99, depending on your region and platform.

4. Purchase the Skin or Bundle
   Select either the standalone Apprentice Rey skin or the full Apprentice Rey Bundle, then click the “Purchase” button. Confirm your purchase, and the items will be added to your locker immediately. If you opt for the standalone skin, you can still purchase the additional cosmetics individually later.

5. Equip the Sith Rey Skin and Cosmetics
   Head to your Locker from the main menu, where you can equip the Apprentice Rey outfit and toggle between its styles, including the Sith Rey variant. Add the Sacred Jedi Text Back Bling, Ochi’s Blade Pickaxe, Rey’s Speeder Glider, and other cosmetics from the bundle to complete your dark-side look. Don’t forget to try out the Jakku Barter and Lil’ Sandcrawler emotes in a match to show off your Star Wars flair.

Since the Sith Rey skin is a limited-time offering, be sure to grab it before it leaves the Item Shop, likely within a week or two after its release, as Fortnite typically rotates Star Wars cosmetics out quickly.

Star Destroyer Bombardment Gameplay Trailer Unleashes Chaos from Above

Adding to the Star Wars excitement, Fortnite has also rolled out the Star Destroyer Bombardment gameplay trailer, showcasing a thrilling new feature for the Galactic Battle season. Released on May 28, 2025, the trailer highlights an epic new mechanic: players can now assume control of a Star Destroyer’s turbolaser to rain destruction from the skies. A single portal to the Star Destroyer’s control room spawns in each match, offering players the chance to step into the role of an Imperial commander and dominate the battlefield from above.

This new rift feature integrates seamlessly with the season’s overarching Star Wars theme, allowing players to experience the might of the Empire in a way that’s both strategic and visually spectacular. The trailer promises intense action as turbolasers light up the map, giving players a fresh perspective on Fortnite’s battle royale chaos. This feature, paired with the Sith Rey cosmetics, ensures that the Galactic Battle season ends on a high note, leaving players with unforgettable Star Wars-infused moments as they prepare for what’s next in Fortnite’s ever-evolving universe.
