A recent Fortnite leak has unveiled details about two new Star Wars-themed skins set to debut in Chapter 6 Season 1: Samurai Darth Vader and Samurai Storm Trooper.
The leak emerged on December 22, showcasing real-life advertisements featuring these iconic characters in samurai-inspired outfits.
Rumors about a Samurai Darth Vader skin had already begun circulating earlier in the week, following an initial leak. This new design draws clear inspiration from Darth Vader’s original armor, which was influenced by traditional samurai gear.
The skin features a sleek, all-black look, combining Darth Vader’s familiar silhouette with an ancient Japanese samurai aesthetic. In the leak, Vader is depicted wielding a red Samurai blade, mirroring his lightsaber, with his left hand raised in a gesture that suggests he may be using the Force.
Though Epic Games has yet to confirm the Samurai Darth Vader skin’s release, Fortnite leaker Blortzen has hinted that it will come with a Back Bling and Pickaxe. There’s also speculation that the collaboration could bring new abilities or even a special Emote, given Vader’s Force-inspired stance in the advertisement.
Additionally, another leak from trusted Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR revealed a Samurai Storm Trooper skin, which reimagines the classic Storm Trooper armor with a traditional samurai twist, complete with white armor.
