The Mandalorian & Grogu Watch Party Island is now live in Fortnite, bringing fans exclusive content in a new interactive Star Wars adventure. Step into STAR WARS: The Mandalorian and Grogu, watch a 10-minute sneak peek of the film, and hear a special message from director Jon Favreau – all ahead of its theatrical release on May 22. Epic Games, Disney, and Lucasfilm have created their most immersive Fortnite island experience yet.
Created with Fairview Portals — Jon Favreau’s storytelling creative studio — and Beyond Creative, every detail, from Nevarro’s architecture to the quest design, draws from the world first seen on Disney+ and now headed to the big screen. The experience was crafted using assets from the official STAR WARS toolkit — the largest IP toolset in Fortnite.
The Mandalorian & Grogu Watch Party Island brings cinematic world‑building into Fortnite’s interactive space, continuing the strong foundation set by previous collaborations between Disney and Epic, and expanding the ways fans can step into stories they love.
Check out the new trailer here and you can find assets here
On the island, players can:
- Discover familiar locations and gameplay, including Nevarro’s city streets and the Imperial safehouse
- Talk to new and fan-favorite characters, spend time with Grogu, complete quests from the Marshall IG-11 or challenge other players to 1v1 or 2v2 battles
- Play as newly recruited Deputies during an Imperial attack and build a speeder bike to head across the city
Special rewards and Shop items:
- Spend 20 minutes in the island experience to unlock the exclusive Mandalorian Sanctuary Loading Screen, featuring concept art from the film
- The Mandalorian Pen & Ink Outfit launches in the Shop beginning May 21
Plus, on May 26, return to the island’s amphitheater to watch Jon Favreau answer fan questions submitted by the Fortnite community about the film and the making of The Mandalorian & Grogu Watch Party Island.
