The hit online battle royale video game Fortnite may have focused on the Marvel Universe for its previous season but now, it's the Star Wars Universe's time to get a share of the spotlight. In case you weren't aware, The Mandalorian's Din Djarin and Baby Yoda (or "Grogu" if you'd like to call him that) are officially joining the game's fifth season.

The duo will be part of Fortnite Chapter Two Season 5 Battle Pass. Dubbed "zero point", the latest Battle Pass is set to involve hunters from different realities joining forces to fight something called. Aside from the famed bounty hunter and his adorable Force-wielding companion, Fortnite's Season 5 Battle Pass will also include a new set of characters — from a Gladiator named Menace, a pancake cowboy named "Mancake the fighting Flapjack", and a shape-shifting barbarian named Mave warrior among others. Another special feature of Season 5 is a new map featuring several exciting locations.

Even the hit video game is cashing in on the extreme popularity of The Mandalorian. Hopefully, somewhere down the line, we'll get to see other characters from the hit StarWars spinoff series make their way to the action-packed game. After all, the game's developers created an entire season solely dedicated to Marvel and I wouldn't see any harm if they did the same for the Star Wars franchise, especially now that The Mandalorian has seemingly reinvigorated the saga.
