Fortnite servers back online after major outage
Fortnite was down for several hours on Wednesday, with the lengthy outage coming after two weeks of server issues.
Online gaming platform, Fortnite, has become a popular place for all kinds of promotional content. It provides a space for promotion to videos, movies, music, and even shoes. Following the same trend, the game is now promoting another game via a crossover, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
Fortnite players can now play with their avatars dressed as a classic Star Wars era Stormtrooper. The Imperial Stormtrooper skin is available to purchase from the in-game item shop for 1500 V-Bucks (Fortnite’s in-game currency) till November 17. It is likely that more Star Wars content will also arrive in Fortnite soon. Gamers who purchase the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order game from the Epic Games store will get the skin for free. The offer is only valid for purchases made before November 30 though.

The skin is part of the original trilogy set, which means more Star Wars content or products is in the pipeline.
