Star Wars and Brawlhalla are no strangers to different and unique collaborations. On the Star Wars side of things, Anakin and Obi-Wan have also appeared in Fortnite, alongside other icons like Darth Vader and Ahsoka. This collaboration has seemingly paid off for both Disney and publisher Epic Games as both plan on making even more games.
Meanwhile, Brawlhalla also has an extensive collection of guest characters. It touts over 50 playable characters, with guest characters like Master Chief, SpongeBob Squarepants, John Cena, and Ryu from Street Fighter.
