Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, titled “Galactic Battle,” is landing on Friday, May 2, 2025, and it’s bringing the biggest Star Wars crossover the game has ever seen. With massive map changes, iconic characters, and even an in-game series premiere, this is more than just another season, it’s a full-on galactic takeover.

|What Time Does the New Season Start?

The update rolls out early in the morning, with server downtime starting at 2:00 AM EDT. As always, make sure your game is updated and ready, since the patch could be a chunky one.

|A Star Wars Takeover: What to Expect

Epic Games isn’t holding back this time. The new season transforms the Fortnite island into a battleground between the Resistance and the First Order. Expect stunning new Points of Interest (POIs) like:

  • The First Order Base, complete with a crashed AT-AT in the snow.

  • The Resistance Forest Outpost, hidden in a dense, lush woodland.

  • Exotic Enclave, a sandy Mos Eisley-inspired city.

  • Vader’s Samurai Fortress, a feudal twist on Darth Vader’s lair.

These areas don’t just look good, they come with new gameplay dynamics, loot zones, and challenges that reflect their Star Wars roots.
