There’s actually no light solution to ease you into this example so I’ll simply be blunt: Yoda bought faraway from Fortnite as a result of an emote impressed by Zoidberg from Futurama was turning the little Jedi grasp right into a nasty monster that crashed individuals’s video games. What a world we reside in?
In case you missed it, final week Fortnite launched its large Star Wars Day occasion. It added new Star Wars character skins, equipment, and even the catchy Cantina band music to the sport’s Fortnite Competition mode. One in all these new Star Wars-themed beauty gadgets was a Yoda backpack that gamers may purchase and put on as any character as they ran round Fortnite killing Goku and Ariana Grande. However, as documented on-line and confirmed by Epic Video games, if you happen to tried to do a particular emote whereas he was in your again, you’d set off a game-breaking bug.
On Could 7, iFireMonkey, a preferred Fortnite information and leaks account, reported that gamers with the Yoda backpack have been encountering a wierd bug that turned the Jedi Grasp right into a noodle-y monster earlier than crashing the sport. You’ll be able to see the game-breaking glitch in motion within the video beneath.
Epic was seemingly conscious of the issue on Could 6 and the following day, formally introduced that it was eradicating the Yoda backpack (together with another Star Wars cosmetics) from the sport because of the bug.
“Attributable to a difficulty which will have been inflicting crashes for some gamers, we’ve quickly disabled the Yoda Again Bling whereas the workforce is engaged on a repair,” tweeted the Fortnite Standing account.
I’m truthfully stunned this type of factor doesn’t occur extra typically in Fortnite because it continues so as to add increasingly content material to the sport. It is sensible that sooner or later some bizarre mixture of licensed content material may result in unexpected bugs and issues. The hazards of making a metaverse, I assume.
No phrase on when to anticipate Yoda to return to Fortnite. As somebody who purchased the Yoda backpack, I’m very unhappy he’s gone. I beloved how he would giggle as I murdered different gamers and picked up new weapons. I would like my laughing inexperienced boy again, Epic. Please, repair this glitch and return Yoda to Fortnite.
