Epic Games has unveiled a sneak peek of the upcoming Chapter 6 Season 3 map for Fortnite, a treat for players eager for the next level of excitement. This season, dubbed “Galactic Battle,” is set to embark on an epic journey with a major collaboration featuring the timeless Star Wars universe. As Chapter 6 Season 2 wraps up, known for its thrilling heist-themed gameplay, fans are now bracing themselves for fresh adventures and challenges.
Scheduled to launch on May 2, the theme of Galactic Battle is already setting the stage, with the iconic Death Star looming ominously in the sky above the island. This new era of Fortnite promises an array of Star Wars-themed locations, integral to the season’s mission map.
As reported by a knowledgeable Fortnite leaker, players can look forward to exploring distinctive spots like Resistance Base, Vader Samurai’s Solitude, Outpost Enclave, and First Order Base. These locations will be strategically scattered across different corners of the map, making it quite a challenge for gamers to visit more than a couple in a single match.
During the Star Wars Celebration Japan, Ahmed Best, known for his role as Jar Jar Binks, shared exciting updates. Fans can expect a new battle pass, weekly updates bursting with content, and an enticing collection of cosmetics. Among the thrilling additions are X-Wing and Tie Fighter flights, plus exclusive character skins including Darth Jar Jar, Emperor Palpatine, and Mace Windu.
Gameplay evolves with revamped Reboot options, enhancing player strategies. Now, rescuing a teammate’s game is possible by purchasing a Reboot Card for 500 gold. Additionally, spending 1,000 gold elevates the package, offering superior weapons and shields instead of the standard pistol upon re-entry. Despite seemingly hefty costs, the community finds this a fair trade-off. This adjustment, paired with the lucrative opportunities from Chapter 6 Season 2’s heists and vaults, propels players to keep on collecting and utilizing the in-game currency. The excitement for the fresh season and its growing possibilities has left the Fortnite community buzzing with anticipation.
