Oops, okay. So here’s the deal—I was scrolling through the latest Fortnite updates and, BAM, stumbled upon something wild. General Grievous without his mask! Yes, from Star Wars. I know, right? I had to double-check because what—is this really Fortnite content? Apparently, yeah. Epic Games is bringing Star Wars vibes all over. We’re talking Mace Windu, and heck, even a Darth Jar-Jar (I still can’t believe that’s a thing). And an AI Darth Vader with the booming voice of James Earl Jones. But steer clear of any touchy topics with him—trust me.
Grievous isn’t just a hologram in the game now; his skin got delayed for some odd reason, but it’s here. Fun fact, before his epic cyber makeover, he was a warlord named Qymaen jai Sheelal. Why do I remember these things? It was in a 2019 comic or something. Anyway—right, the juicy part: Grievous’s real look. WizarConcepts on Twitter spilled the beans with a leaked pic. The face? Just like in Star Wars Age of Republic. Dark red skin, eyes like a lizard’s, and these tusk-like things sprouting from his mouth.
Why Epic didn’t officially release an unmasked skin? No clue. Maybe some marketing strategy thing. But fans are mind-blown because it’s the first video game to show his unmasked face. Previous peeks were just artsy comic styles or statues lurking in dark rooms, so this is as close to live-action as it gets.
Epic could’ve skipped modeling his face—it’s always under a mask, after all—but they went for it. It’s a neat Easter egg for us nerds who’ve pondered over his pre-cyborg days. And now it’s practically a mini museum made for Star Wars fans. Perfect for those long pondering gaming nights where Grievous collects lightsabers like a kid in a candy store. So yeah, the Fortnite-verse just got a lot more intriguing.
