Star Wars Droid Tycoon has quickly become one of the most popular modes across all of Fortnite, and the upcoming BB-8 event is set to add even more content to the mode.
Epic Games‘ close relationship with Disney has opened the door to a host of Star Wars-themed creative maps, with Droid Tycoon having the support of Epic Labs directly, helping to make it an instant hit.
BB-8’s arrival in Droid Tycoon is the first major event in the mode, and Insider Gaming has all the details on when it takes place.
When is The Star Wars Droid Tycoon BB-8 Event?
The Star Wars Droid Tycoon BB-8 event is set to debut on Sunday, March 10, but the exact duration of the event is unknown.
A precise countdown for exactly how many days, hours, and minutes until BB-8’s arrival in Droid Tycoon can be found outside the Cantina, on the right-hand side, so you’ll always know how much longer you need to wait. However, it doesn’t detail the exact time and date, instead leaving it for you to work out.

What’s in The Star Wars Droid Tycoon BB-8 Event?
The full details of the BB-8 event in Star Wars Droid Tycoon are not yet known, but we do know that it will see the debut of BB-8 into the mode.
While there is a host of recognisable Droids in Droid Tycoon, there are some eyecatching absentees, with BB-8, a fan-favorite from sequel triology, not yet in the game.
Its arrival is confirmed, however, and there’s also a tease of what the Gold, Diamond, and Rainbow versions of BB-8 will look like in the game.
More details will likely be revealed in the build-up to the event, and there’s the chance that future events will bring even more Droids into the game.
