Fortnite's upcoming Star Wars collaboration is no secret, but it's bumped the game's regularly scheduled updates out by a week so that the new content goes live on May 2, just in time for May 4.
Last month, before Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 had started, reputable leakers in the community were already giving us a heads up about a crossover on Star Wars Day. Now the annual sci-fi celebration is almost upon us, it looks like the Fortnite x Star Wars collaboration has rejigged the bi-monthly updates so that it goes live next week – on Tuesday, May 2 – instead of today, April 25.
Fortnite update 24.30 was expected to go live today, what with it having been two weeks since update 24.20 rolled out. The title gets regular updates every two weeks, but the latest version of the game hadn't hit the staging servers as of last Friday according to Twitter leaker @ShiinaBR. It's usually ready and raring to go a few days prior to update day, so the absence seemingly confirms the delay to Fortnite update 24.30.
