Time to head for space
The galactic and cosmic adventure will soon arrive with the upcoming Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3. The Star Wars theme has been teased by Epic Games.
Epic Games began giving hints on April 18, 2025, with a major revelation scheduled for April 19 during the Star Wars Celebration livestream. Let’s check out more details in this article.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3: Star Wars
With Chewbacca’s return to the Fortnite Item Shop on April 18, 2025, this was the first major hint dropped by Epic Games.
Fans and leakers were quick to note the odd backdrop, which featured extraterrestrial writing and symbols. Language experts translated the text as “Galactic Battle,” which has fueled conjecture that this is the subtitle for Chapter 6 of Season 3.
The insignia represented an X-Wing, a Death Star, and a TIE Fighter, alluding to major Star Wars aspects in the game.
An in-game poll mentioned a Star Destroyer Bombardment, a gameplay feature that is most likely related to the Imperial warships from the original Star Wars trilogy.
This means that gamers may encounter large space wars or events involving Star Destroyers, adding an exciting depth to the season’s story.

The most trusted leaker, HYPEX, has revealed that the Star Wars-themed season will be a mini-season that only lasts one month.
Start Date: May 2, 2025
End Date: June 8, 2025
Mid-Season Updates: May 15 and May 29
The season begins just before Star Wars Day on May 4, in keeping with Fortnite’s practice of celebrating the series around this period.
Despite its brief 37-day duration, the season is intended to deliver a powerful punch with new POIs, bosses, NPCs, weapons, and a Star Wars-themed Battle Pass with 4-5 skins.
What can fans expect?
The leaks suggest that the upcoming season will be fully based in the Star Wars universe, with new locations like Mos Eisley Cantina or Jabba’s Palace.
Mythic weapons like like lightsabers and Force powers, and skins for characters like Chewbacca, C-3PO, or General Grievous are also expected.
Fortnite x Disney livestream is already ongoing, where more details will be revealed about the upcoming Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3: Star Wars theme.
