Boba Fett, the galaxy’s deadliest bounty hunter, is coming to Fortnite at long last.
On Dec. 24 at 7 P.M. EDT, Boba Fett will join the likes of Superman, Predator, Naruto, Captain America and loads more to do battle with the most formidable foe of all: children that play Fortnite. Imagine escaping the Sarlacc Pit only to have someone build a mansion on top of you—a terrifying thought.
Epic Games said that Boba Fett will be getting a dedicated skin. However, it’s unclear if Fennec Shan, Boba Fett’s partner who first appeared in The Mandalorian, would have a skin of her own. She appears alongside Boba Fett in the announcement image, though, so she must have some sort of in-game presence.

The Book of Boba Fett, a new Disney+ series, premieres on Dec. 29, just a few days after the bounty hunter arrives in Fortnite. We’ve certainly come a long way from Han Solo accidentally offing Boba in Return of the Jedi.
Boba Fett is just the latest character to crossover into Epic’s battle royale phenomenon. Last week, Jinx from League of Legends dropped into the island and before that, there was luxury fashion house Balenciaga. No, really.
