Summary
August 16 brings Star Wars: Smuggler's Gambit, a new Unreal Engine Fortnite PvE experience that extends Disney's Smugglers Run ride into an online multiplayer game.
QR-code account linking between Epic Games and MyDisney lets players connect the game to the park attraction and unlock a special in-ride experience, though Disney has not detailed exactly what changes.
Three classes—Pilot, Gunner and Engineer—mirror the ride roles, while missions such as Imperial vault heists and pirate raids add progression through weapon upgrades, side quests and higher-difficulty co-op combat.
The preview says the game is approachable for Fortnite newcomers but works best with friends, underscoring Disney and Epic's push to turn a theme-park attraction into a connected cross-platform Star Wars story.
