Fortnite Obi-Wan Kenobi Cup: Start date, how to participate, rewards, and more

The Fortnite X Star Wars collaboration is one of the biggest in-game collabs to ever take place. With new trilogy characters such as Rey, Kylo Ren, and The Mandalorian and OG characters such as Boba Fett, Epic sure does have a knack for getting the cosmetics right and never disappoints when it comes to Star Wars.

One character from the franchise has been anticipated ever since the announcement of his solo Disney+ show. The character in question is the legendary Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Jedi Master will also be entering the loop in Fortnite and will arrive via an entire cosmetic bundle that fans already seem to love.

Although the bundle is set to hit the Item Shop on May 26, select loopers can get their hands on the skin early by competing in a special Fortnite cup dedicated to the show, Obi-Wan Kenobi, later this Sunday. Here are the details.

Start date, how to participate, and more information regarding the Fortnite Obi-Wan Kenobi Cup

This event is a chance for loopers to 'Claim The High Ground' and get their hands on the Jedi Master early. The recently announced Obi-Wan Kenobi Cup is set to take place this Sunday, May 22, across all regions. The winners will get a chance to win the Obi-Wan Kenobi skin and Desert Essentials Back Bling before the cosmetics hit the Fortnite Item Shop.

In addition to this, the Star Wars mythic weapons — Lightsabers and E-11 Blaster Rifles — will be unvaulted. However, this will be only for the duration of the tournament, as the weapons will be vaulted after this week's update.

To compete in the tournament, players need to be in the Open League in Arena. Since it is a Duos tournament and bets are on getting the high ground, builds will remain enabled, giving loopers an opportunity to become Obi-Wan for real.
