Fortnite is gearing up for an exciting new chapter—Chapter 6 Season 3, dubbed “Galactic Battle,” bringing the world of Star Wars to the virtual battlefield. As Epic Games prepares to wrap up the current season, known for its thrilling heist missions, players have eagerly anticipated what’s coming next. This latest season showcased bank heists, valuable loot, and a bustling Black Market, setting a high bar for engagement.
With Galactic Battle set to launch on May 2, things are heating up with a Star Wars-themed twist. The Death Star ominously hangs in the sky, hinting at the galactic adventures to come. Players can look forward to exploring iconic Star Wars landmarks such as Resistance Base, Vader Samurai’s Solitude, Outpost Enclave, and First Order Base. These new additions are strategically scattered across different map regions, posing a fun challenge for those wanting to visit multiple spots within one game.
Star Wars Celebration Japan offered more thrilling revelations, as Ahmed Best, who famously played Jar Jar Binks, confirmed a full battle pass packed with cosmetics, plus weekly updates. Players can even take to the skies in X-Wings and Tie Fighters. The teaser showcased new character skins, including Darth Jar Jar and Mace Windu, making it clear that both Star Wars fans and Fortnite players are in for a treat.
Additionally, Epic Games has revamped the Reboot system, allowing players to spend gold to purchase Reboot Cards and pay 1,000 gold to come back into the match with better gear. This layer adds a strategic element, encouraging players to maintain a healthy gold stash, especially following the introduction of vaults and heists last season. While the cost seems steep, many in the community feel it balances well with gameplay. As anticipation builds for the upcoming season and new content rolls out, the future of Fortnite is looking as bright as ever, with players eagerly awaiting the next chapter.
