Epic’s five-week Star Wars “Galactic Battle” mini-season is already rocketing toward its finale. With only a couple of weeks left before the Empire retreats, the big question on every looper’s mind is simple: What drops next once the Death Star dust settles? Here’s the freshest intel—confirmed facts, credible leaks, and some educated guesswork—about the next stage of Fortnite’s ever-shifting island.
Chapter 6 Season 3… or Season 4?
Epic’s own metadata tags the Star Wars event as “Chapter 6 MS1” (Mini-Season 1). That label strongly suggests the next launch will be Season 3, with more mini-seasons likely queued up later. Until Epic says otherwise, chalk this one up as Season 3.
When Does the New Season Start?
- Current season ends: Saturday, June 7
- New season begins: Sunday, June 8 (morning local server time)
Unlike prior seasons that quietly shut down overnight, this one bows out in broad daylight—and with a bang.
Live Finale: Storming the Death Star
Epic promised a blockbuster send-off, and they’re delivering. On June 7 at 11 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. ET, squads will infiltrate the Death Star, clash with Emperor Palpatine, and (hopefully) save the island. It’s a true, one-time live event—miss it and you’ll be catching highlight reels on YouTube.
Rumoured Theme: Classic Capes & Tights
Leaks point to a traditional superhero season—think comic-book bright rather than the gadget-heavy Marvel crossover of the past. Insiders claim:
- Midas opens a hero academy on the island.
- The vibe leans DC Comics, aligning with a brand-new Superman movie in July.
- A fresh Superman skin is tipped for the Item Shop, filling the gap left by 2021’s Chapter 2 Season 7 battle-pass exclusive.
Battle Pass Highlights
Expect the usual mix of original Fortnite faces plus a couple of collab stars:
| Slot | Likely Skin | Source/Context |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1–100 core | Corrupted Daigo – the Season 2 cinematic showed him mutating in the mystical portal. | In-game cutscene |
| Collab #1 | Robin (Batman’s partner) – fits the DC rumour mill. | Data-miners |
| Collab #2 | TBD – Epic often slips in one extra surprise outfit mid-season. | Pattern history |
Gameplay Tweaks: Real Superpowers
Forget clunky gadgets; leaks suggest mythic-tier abilities more akin to Dragon Ball’s Kamehameha or Jujutsu Kaisen’s Hollow Purple. Expect:
- Direct-use powers on cooldown timers.
- Unique movement or damage mechanics tied to each ability.
- A shake-up to both Battle Royale and Zero Build metas.
Fortnite OG Season 4 Syncs Up
OG’s throwback Season 4—which originally introduced superheroes and The Visitor—also kicks off June 8. Epic has teased a remixed soundtrack cover art featuring The Visitor’s helmet, hinting at possible story crossover between OG and mainline BR.
Lego Fortnite Pass: Mystery, but Likely Heroic
A brand-new Lego Pass premieres the same day. No leaks here, but DC’s long-standing Lego partnership makes a caped minifig cameo feel almost inevitable.
Final Word
With a live Star Wars finale on June 7 and a comic-book-style reboot mere hours later, Fortnite’s summer looks stacked. Keep your loadout ready, your V-Bucks topped off, and your eyes on the sky—the next drop could change the island forever.
