Fortnite Galactic Siege 10v10 Hoth mode

Epic Games, Disney and Lucasfilm added a new Star Wars player-versus-player experience to Fortnite on May 1 as part of a broader slate of in-game activations tied to the franchise. The mode, called Galactic Siege, is one of three Star Wars games Epic highlighted in an April 30 post on Fortnite’s official news site. (fortnite.com) Epic said the experience was developed with JOGO Studios and launched alongside Escape Vader and Droid Tycoon. Galactic Siege is positioned as a large-team combat mode rather than a limited-time Battle Royale playlist. (fortnite.com) Epic described it as class-based 10v10 combat set across “iconic Star Wars planets,” and the official Fortnite island page lists it under code 5003-9856-3648. The company’s homepage continued to feature “Star Wars: Galactic Siege” on May 18. The release sits inside a wider Disney-Fortnite push that also includes a separate watch-party island for “The Mandalorian and Grogu.” Epic said that event begins May 19 at 10 a.m. ET and includes a special message from director Jon Favreau plus a 10-minute preview ahead of the film’s theatrical release on May 22. (fortnite.com) ### What exactly is Galactic Siege inside Fortnite? Epic’s April 30 announcement described Galactic Siege as a “large-scale PvP class-based” mode with 10-versus-10 battles on Star Wars planets. The company did not present it as a Battle Royale ruleset; instead, it sits in Fortnite’s broader ecosystem of creator-made and branded islands. (fortnite.com) The official island listing says players can enter the experience directly by using code 5003-9856-3648. Epic’s post credits JOGO Studios as the developer partner on the mode. ### How does the mode fit into Fortnite’s latest Star Wars rollout? (fortnite.com) Epic said Galactic Siege launched with two other Star Wars experiences: Escape Vader, a four-player cooperative survival game developed with Beyond Creative, and Droid Tycoon, a droid-building management experience created with FOAD. The three releases followed Epic’s April 1 rollout of Star Wars tools for Unreal Editor for Fortnite and Fortnite Creative, which opened official franchise assets to developers. (fortnite.com) StarWars.com described the May activations as part of a month of Fortnite and Star Wars crossovers. That official post also tied the watch-party island and the three game experiences together in the same promotional push. (fortnite.com) ### Is this the Hoth-style 10v10 mode players have been talking about? Epic’s official description does not name Hoth in the core Galactic Siege listing that was available in search results on May 18. The company instead says the mode features 10v10 class-based battles across “iconic Star Wars planets.” The Hoth comparison appears to come from how the mode is being discussed by players because it centers on large-team Star Wars combat with class roles. (fortnite.com) Based on Epic’s published materials, the verifiable description is a 10-versus-10 class-based PvP experience set on multiple Star Wars worlds. (starwars.com) ### What else is happening in Fortnite on May 19? Epic said “The Mandalorian and Grogu Watch Party Island” opens on May 19 at 10 a.m. ET. The company said players will see a special message from Jon Favreau and a 10-minute sneak peek of “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu” before the movie reaches theaters on May 22. (fortnite.com) Disney’s Fortnite page says the watch-party island is set on Nevarro and that players who spend 20 minutes in the experience will receive a free Mandalorian Sanctuary loading screen. StarWars.com said the island was created by Fairview Portals and Beyond Creative. ### Where can players find Galactic Siege now? (fortnite.com) Fortnite’s official island page says Galactic Siege is live and playable through island code 5003-9856-3648. Epic’s main Fortnite site still surfaced the mode on May 18, indicating it remains part of the current playable lineup. May 19 is the next dated milestone in the rollout. Epic said the Mandalorian and Grogu watch party begins at 10 a.m. ET that day, and StarWars.com said the film itself opens in theaters on May 22, 2026.
