Elsewhere, Battlefront 2 (the new one, not the old one) is experiencing a resurgence like never before. Oh, and Fortnite is currently collaborating with the space-themed epic. Like we said, the franchise is having a moment.

As part of that collaboration, several Star Wars characters have made their way into the live-service battle royale, including one General Grievous. Not only is the famous villain in the game, but hidden in the files is what he looks like without a mask.

Some Star Wars Mysteries Are Better Off Being Left As Mysteries

In a post shared on Twitter, it was revealed that the Epic Games team modeled General Grievous without his mask back when he was a regular Kaleesh soldier.

It's a rather neat inclusion, especially for those who weren't aware that Grievous didn't always look like the way we recognize him as. Of course, it didn't take long for fans to begin wondering why there isn't a "Mask Off" style for Grievous, which is a pretty valid question, all things considered.

Not All of Star Wars' Fortnite Collaboration Is Going Well

It's worth noting that not all of this ongoing collaboration is sitting well with longtime fans. In its latest update, the game introduced an AI chatbot version of Darth Vader, where players can ask it questions and receive a response in Vader's signature deep voice.

As things often go, fans already began making Vader say the worst possible things, including slurs and curse words. On the other end, fans and voice actors rallied against the use of AI voice acting in games. For what it's worth, the original voice of Vader, James Earle Jones, did sign over his voice to be used in such a way, and his family also provided its blessing.

Either way, Star Wars is currently en vogue at the moment, and that's plenty of reason to celebrate. To top it off, we now have an HD maskless version of Grievous to look at, though that's probably best kept hidden because of nightmares, you know?
