The mega-popular video game Fortnite is channeling the Force in its latest collaboration, which will launch at the beginning of May.

And to kick it off, fans and players have an early, in-game premiere of “Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld” before it hits Disney+.

“For the first time, Disney+ is premiering a show inside a game, launching alongside our largest Star Wars collaboration with Fortnite to date – giving fans and players an exciting first look at the kinds of experiences they can expect as we shape a new future together,” said Sean Shoptaw, Executive Vice President, Disney Games & Digital Entertainment. “We’re building the next era of digital entertainment, where fans can play, watch, create and connect – and we’re just beginning to tap into what’s possible.”

Here’s a look at when you can start playing, when the premiere is and the extras that come with this collab.
