Fortnite Update adds fan favorites to OG Battle Royale

Epic Games is releasing a new update for Fortnite, bringing back some legendary fan-favorite weapons and gear to the battle royale.

Samurai Darth Vader's Katana is something that caught the attention of many fans because of the red, glowing runes carved into its blade. The alphabet of the Sith runic language, also known as Ur-Kittat, can be translated into the Latin alphabet. A fan has captured the Ur-Kittat characters in the blade and translated them into Latin letters in the hope of finding a Star Wars Easter eggs, but they were quite disappointed with the results.

What does the text on Darth Vader's Katana say?

As it turns out, the Ur-Kittat characters translate to “PRUGJSNZIAWCDKGPJAD”, which means nothing at all, or so it seems. Some players thought this could mean more than just a random combination of letters and tried searching for it in the YouTube URL field or on the V-Bucks code redemption page, but it led nowhere. While most have accepted that this is probably nothing, others are convinced that it will eventually become relevant in the future to decipher a code or something similar.

​

Epic Games has inserted fun easter eggs in Fortnite before, so it's definitely strange that it missed this golden opportunity. But who knows what the future has to offer Fortnite and Star Wars? This may turn out to be more than it seems at the moment. By the time the Winterfest event ends on January 7th, Epic has probably already started thinking about the next big thing to come Fortniteand it just might be related to the mysterious code on Samurai Darth Vader's Katana.
