Fortnite 26.20 update brings Ahsoka Tano Star Wars skin

The marquee addition in the Fortnite 26.20 update is Ahsoka Tano, whose skin is finally available after being revealed at the start of the season. Following the success of the iconic Jedi’s Disney+ series, fans can unlock Anakin’s Padawan in-game.

Players must have first purchased the Chapter 4 Season 4 Battle Pass, which opens up a series of challenges found in the menus. Complete each one and the Ahsoka Tano skin will be yours, alongside a host of other Star Wars-themed cosmetics.

Ahsoka Tano was revealed in the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 trailer.

To celebrate Ahsoka’s debut in Fortnite 26.20, the update also brings back the Star Wars weapons that dominated the island in Season 2. Fans can once again pick up Lightsabers around the map.

The patch also reintroduces the powerful Force Abilities that allow players to push and pull their enemies, which can be earned by interacting with Rift Gates.

Here are the full Fortnite 26.20 update patch notes below here, as shared by Epic Games:

In v26.20, Ahsoka Tano appears on the Battle Royale Island in hologram form, awaiting to train you in the ways of the Jedi. Accept her offer to train you to proceed into a rift, then return to the Island wielding the white Jedi Training Lightsaber! With this lightsaber equipped, use the Force abilities that Ahsoka taught you.

Ahsoka’s not just appearing in hologram form — the Ahsoka Tano Outfit becomes unlockable in the purchasable Chapter 4 Season 4 Battle Pass on September 26 at 9 AM ET! Give your squad hope in even their darkest times.

A New Day, A New Beginning: Gain Force Abilities

When you encounter a hologram of Ahsoka Tano on the Island, speak to her and accept her offer to train you. You’ll then enter a rift, and exit with a Jedi Training Lightsaber and knowledge of Force abilities! These Force abilities can only be used if you went through Ahsoka’s training and are actively wielding a Jedi Training Lightsaber. Your knowledge of these abilities will last until the end of the match.

Force Abilities from Ahsoka Tano

Use the Force to sprint faster and double jump.
Use the Force to push objects and players away.

The Ahsoka Tano holograms, Jedi Training Lightsaber, and Force abilities will remain in Battle Royale until v26.30.
