A new custom island in Fortnite is connected with the Star Wars ride at Disneyland and Disney World.

Disney’s Millennium Falcon Ride Activates Fortnite In-Game Rewards

Epic Games and Disney have collaborated to introduce a new Fortnite tie-in experience called Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, which is now available at Disneyland and Disney World. Visitors can earn exclusive in-game rewards by participating in the ride, which simulates piloting the Millennium Falcon spaceship. This experience is connected to the new game Smugglers Gambit, where players can explore Star Wars locations and complete co-op missions, quests, and class choices.

The ride uses Unreal Engine 5 technology developed by Disney Imagineering and Industrial Light & Magic. Players must link their MyDisney account with their Epic Games account to claim rewards in Fortnite after completing the special mission on the ride. This collaboration builds upon the success of the Star Wars IP Toolkit launched in Fortnite in May, which attracted 8 million players in the first 72 hours.
