Fortnite is going small but also going very, very big at the same time, with a rumoured new Star Wars season on its way.
The wheels on Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 are starting to slow, which can mean only one thing – there’s a new season waiting for us on the horizon. There’s no doubt that this season has been a treat, with a stacked Chapter 6 Season 2 Battle Pass that offers players the chance to work through collabs with Mortal Kombat and become Big Dill, and an Outlaw Keycard system that gives players more rewards the more they accomplish in-game.
It’s been great to break open vaults and take on Fletcher Kane head-on, but it’s almost time to see in a new season, and it’s looking like it’s going to be another banger so far. Rumours are swirling that we could see a full Star Wars-themed season, and new hints from Fortnite itself are starting to appear that make this even more likely. We have to actually get to the season before we start getting too excited about finally becoming Jar Jar Binks in-game – and luckily for us, it’s not far away. Here’s what you need to know about the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 start date.
The Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 start date is Friday, May 2. We know this because this is when the timer on the current Battle Pass page comes to an end, and the date that has long been theorised by leakers like @Hypex. We can expect some major downtime on this day, with the season being made available afterwards.
Nothing is confirmed for Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, but if we’re to believe leaks, this season will be all about Star Wars. Rumours have been abound for a hot minute, but now that Fortnite has taken to Twitter to share that it has something to reveal at this year’s Star Wars Celebration, players are expecting a trailer drop now more than ever.
Here’s everything that leaks have indicated is coming to Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, largely from an aggregation made by leaker @Wensoing:
It’s also thought that this season will only be a short one, comparative in size to Fortnite Remix Chapter 2 (via @Hypex) but it remains to be seen when the season gets its full reveal. Luckily for us it isn’t far away, with Fortnite’s appearance at Star Wars Celebration taking place on Saturday, April 19, so strap in for some big reveals. Get ready for the Jar Jarpocalypse.
