Fortnite update 20.30 patch notes
Will the Star Wars skins and lightsabers return?
May 4 is a huge day in the Star Wars calendar and Fortnite has a long history of crossovers with the franchise, so it’s likely that we’ll see some kind of celebration taking place following the 20.30 update.
Leakers have already claimed that lightsabers will return to the loot pool and old Star Wars skins will appear in the item shop once again – fingers crossed we get something new, too!
Lightsabers could finally return to Fortnite!
A new Anime Legends bundle
According to Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR, there will be an ‘Anime Legends’ bundle in the store at some point in the two weeks following this update, alongside an Omega Knight outfit and a ‘Blunder’ bundle.
While the ‘Anime Legends’ bundle could contain more original anime-styled Fortnite characters, we’re keeping our fingers crossed that it’s the long-rumored Attack on Titan crossover.
We don’t know much about tomorrow’s update, but these are the things that are 99% confirmed:
– “Omega Knight” outfit
– Anime Legends Bundle
– Blunder BundleThe rest will be a surprise! Some people said the “Blunder” bundle could be a Fall Guys collab, I can’t confirm that, tho

More weekly challenges and Resistance Quests
There will be even more weekly Fortnite challenges and Resistance Quests added following the v20.30 update, which offers the perfect chance to stock up on XP for your Battle Pass.
As Fortnite is now entering the final weeks of the current season, these quests will probably offer teasers for what we can expect from the rumored finale event.
