Fortnite Ties New Star Wars Skin to a Real Disneyland Ride
Contents
Fortnite has tied the new Forsworn Trooper skin to an actual visit to the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run ride at Disneyland or Walt Disney World — and to linking a MyDisney account with an Epic Games account. This isn’t an in-game quest or a V-Bucks purchase: getting the outfit requires physically visiting one of the two Disney parks.
This piece is based on an officially confirmed program launch, with no signs of a leak or closed testing, so we aren’t flagging it as unofficial.
What the Forsworn Trooper skin is
Forsworn Trooper is a Star Wars-style outfit described in-game as “salvaged Imperial Remnant stormtrooper armor claimed by the Veta Syndicate.” It’s one of the items tied to Smugglers Gambit — a Star Wars-themed island experience that Epic Games launched shortly before the Override season began.
We’re deliberately not summarizing the Star Wars films’ plot or quoting character lines here: the crossover is about how the outfit looks in Fortnite, not the story of the film series.
How to unlock the skin: the ride and the MyDisney account
Getting Forsworn Trooper means going through a sequence of steps right at a Disney park:
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open the Disneyland or My Disney Experience app |
| 2 | Sign in to a MyDisney account linked to an Epic Games account |
| 3 | Accept the “Hondo’s Mission” quest in the app |
| 4 | Ride Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run with Bluetooth and location turned on |
| 5 | Get a notification linking the accounts and granting the free skin |
The attraction is available at two locations: Disneyland in Anaheim, California, and Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Linking a MyDisney account to an Epic Games account is a required step — without it, the game won’t register the visit.
The program was reported on August 18, 2026 — a few days before the Override season began.
Why Disney and Epic Games did this
Tying an in-game skin to a real ride is part of a broader deal: Disney’s $1.5 billion investment in Epic Games. Fortnite already got the Smugglers Gambit mode as part of that partnership, and Forsworn Trooper is one of the first items to directly link a park visit to in-game content.
The format echoes marketing crossovers other franchises have run before, but tying a reward specifically to a physical visit to one attraction is an unusual move even for Fortnite.
The alternative for players who can’t travel
Not every player lives near Disneyland or Walt Disney World, or can afford the trip. There’s a fallback option: completing the quest on the Smugglers Gambit island grants a themed loading screen — but not the Forsworn Trooper skin itself. The outfit stays tied specifically to an actual visit to the ride.
We’re not recommending ways to get around this requirement through third-party services or reselling codes or accounts — there’s only one official path, and it’s the one described above.
