Fortnite Extends First Order Stormtrooper Skin Offer Until October 31, 2025

Epic Games has officially extended the availability of the First Order Stormtrooper skin in Fortnite by two months, giving players until October 31, 2025 to claim it.

A Star Wars Takeover in Fortnite

Between Chapter 6 Season 2 and Chapter 6 Season 3, Fortnite launched a special mini-season centered around Star Wars. Timed with the annual May the Fourth celebration, the event transformed the Battle Royale island into a galactic battleground. Players explored iconic Star Wars points of interest, wielded lightsabers as their primary weapons, and even piloted starships across the skies.

The event, titled Galactic Battle, spanned multiple game modes and introduced a variety of themed content. Highlights included the First Order LEGO Pass, featuring Captain Phasma as the main reward, and the Galactic Battle Pass, which offered the Wookie Cuddle Team Leader skin—a twist on the classic Fortnite cosmetic. Fans also gained access to major Star Wars characters such as Poe Dameron, Emperor Palpatine, and General Grievous.

Free First Order Stormtrooper Skin

While plenty of premium Star Wars skins were released, the First Order Stormtrooper stood out as a promotional giveaway. Initially set to expire on August 31, 2025, the offer has now been extended, allowing players extra time to unlock the skin at no cost.

To claim the Stormtrooper skin, players must:

1. Create a MyDisney account.
2. Link it to their Epic Games account.

Those who encounter issues can follow Epic’s step-by-step guide on the process. Once complete, the skin will be permanently added to their locker.

More Free Skins in Fortnite

Currently, Fortnite offers nine free skins, though most are tied to limited-time promotions. Once these expire, they typically return only through the Item Shop. Epic Games frequently provides opportunities to earn free cosmetics, particularly for competitive players.

Daily tournaments available via the Compete tab often reward participants with exclusive items. High-ranking players can even unlock skins before they hit the Item Shop, making competitive play a great way to expand one’s collection.

Final Thoughts

With the deadline now pushed to October 31, 2025, fans still have plenty of time to secure the First Order Stormtrooper skin. For Star Wars enthusiasts and Fortnite collectors alike, this extension is the perfect chance to add another piece of the galaxy far, far away to their lockers.
