Fortnite is gearing up to launch Chapter 6 Season 3 with an exciting twist, diving deep into the Star Wars universe. Known as Galactic Battle, this new season promises to introduce fresh experiences and updates every week. Players will soon find themselves exploring Star Wars-themed locations like the Resistance Base, Vader Samurai’s Solitude, Outpost Enclave, and First Order Base, as the game map receives a stellar update.
Previously, Chapter 6 Season 2 plunged players into the thrill of high-stakes heists, where breaking into vaults and black-market trades were the key elements of gameplay. As Epic Games wraps up this adventurous chapter, anticipation builds for what’s next. With the Death Star ominously appearing above Fortnite’s island, fans are eagerly awaiting the next phase.
Recently, a sneak peek of the upcoming map was dropped on Twitter, showcasing a range of locations inspired by the legendary Star Wars saga. These key spots, scattered to the map’s far corners, might make it a bit of a challenge to hit more than a couple in a single match. Each locale comes packed with its own distinctive flavor, offering new strategies and adventures for players to tackle.
During a special event at Star Wars Celebration Japan, Ahmed Best—known for his role as Jar Jar Binks—shared some thrilling news about the season. Expect a robust battle pass, weekly updates, and plenty of cosmetic goodies to keep the Star Wars spirit alive in the game. From battling the skies in X-Wings and Tie Fighters to donning new skins like Darth Jar Jar or Emperor Palpatine, there’s something for every fan to enjoy.
On the gameplay mechanics side, Fortnite has introduced some noteworthy changes. Players now have the option to purchase a fallen teammate’s Reboot Card for 500 gold, making it possible to rejoin the battle with more firepower—though it comes at a price. Instead of restarting with merely a basic pistol, spending 1,000 gold allows players to reboot with upgraded weapons and shields. Many in the community agree these costs are balanced nicely, encouraging players to keep hunting for gold through heists and vaults, as introduced in the previous season.
With the galactic theme setting the stage and exciting features rolling out, Fortnite fans have plenty to look forward to. The new season looks to be packed with action, and players are buzzing with excitement for all the stellar adventures awaiting them.
