Fans may recall the famousFortnitestream with Drake, which smashed Twitch viewership records at the time, as well as hisbizarre collaboration with Rick and Morty. For his next celebrity collaborator, Ninja will be playing with none other than Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill.
Ninja and Mark Hamill will be playingFortnitetogether on an upcoming edition of Xbox Sessions. It will be available to watch on Thursday, December 19, but it doesn’t appear to be a livestream.
