With a "special announcement" set to happen on April 19, fans are eagerly anticipating more information to surface. However, some tidbits have come to light regarding what to expect.
This article outlines everything we know about the upcoming Star Wars-themed season so far, including the release date and some leaked concepts.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 details revealed in Chewbacca Item Shop promo
The latest details arrived via the lovable Wookie Chewbacca's return to the Item Shop. Leakers and fans quickly keyed in on the unique Star Wars backdrop, complete with an indecipherable language in the upper-right corner and some symbols in the lower-left corner.
Experts on galactic languages have determined that the words translate to "Galactic Battle," which many believe will be the subtitle for Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3. Furthermore, the symbols reflect an X-Wing, a Death Star, and a TIE Fighter.
More details emerge after the initial revelation, via an in-game survey that explicitly references a 'Star Destroyer Bombardment.' Star Destroyers are the iconic Imperial warships seen across the entire franchise, but most prominently in the original trilogy.
