The Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 countdown is on! Here’s what we know about the next season!
Fortnite's current Star Wars-themed "Galactic Battle" season is set to conclude on June 7. The cinematic "Death Star Sabotage" event will precede whatever experience is next, whether it be Chapter 6 Season 3 or 4. Either way, a massive update is on the horizon, and the curiosity has ramped up.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of what's next in Fortnite, including a countdown to Chapter 6 Season 3, as well as leaks and other emerging details.
Chapter 6 Season 3 begins on June 7
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 begins in
Before getting into leaks, it's worth covering the upcoming timeline as the Galactic Battle season comes to an end. Although initially intended to conclude earlier, Chapter 6 MS1 expires on June 7 at 2:30 p.m. ET, following the Death Star Sabotage event.
As usual, the game will then enter a downtime period while Epic Games prepares the next season for launch. It's unclear whether the upcoming season is Season 3 or Season 4. However, considering Epic has officially named the Star Wars season "Chapter 6 Mini-Season 1," it should be referred to as Season 3.
The countdown above indicates when Mini-Season 1 will end, preceding the downtime period mentioned earlier.
All known details regarding the upcoming "Super Hero-themed" season
Unlike most seasons, a comprehensive leak of Season 3 dropped nearly a month ago. FNBRintel initially circulated this information, which is about all the details you might desire heading into a new season.
Chapter 6 Season 3 will reportedly feature the following:
- Superhero Academy Theme
- Midas FUNDS the Superhero Academy
- Superman Power-up (Similar to Godzilla) w. Fortress of Solitude POI
- Fortress of Solitude replaces Masked Meadows
- Robin Skin
- Mask Daigo BP skin
- Daigo is the main villain
- Zero Point Sprite
- "Utopia City" replaces Seaport
The leaks above are robust, offering a deep look into the post-Star Wars Fortnite world. We are transitioning to superheroes in Season 3, featuring a few new points of interest (POIs) and a collaboration with Superman ahead of the upcoming film.
Additionally, the leaks suggest that a skin based on Robin is in development, likely tying back to the recurring Batman collaboration. Other rumors surrounding the season have also indicated that the anime "One Punch Man" will be featured in some way.

In case there was any doubt, Epic Games subletely confirmed Chapter 6 Season 3's superhero theme in a teaser, stating, "Stay tuned for super-scale news, happening later in June!" Although this was specific to LEGO Fortnite, it's safe to assume the next LEGO update will reflect the primary season's theme.
What are people saying about the new season?
The Fortnite Leaks subreddit offered a variety of opinions regarding Chapter 6 Season 3. Diamondstark called out the game's lack of originality, saying it's only superheroes, spies, and collabs. It's worth noting that Chapter 2 Season 4 and Chapter 5 Season 4 revolved around Marvel characters.
Others commented on the uninspired designs of the survey skins that had previously leaked, as seen in the HYPEX post above. While it is a theme Fortnite revisits often, it will be interesting to see the approach in the new season. The loot pool is a question mark, and one that could make or break the experience.
