Summary
Fortnitehas just released its first official teaser for Chapter 6 Season 3, which may have hinted at a superhero theme. Epic Games recently launched its firstStar Wars-themed mini-season inFortnite, which has brought iconic characters like General Grievous, Emperor Palpatine, and Jar Jar Binks to the island.
While the mini-season has been a big hit with manyStar Warsfans, it did come with some controversy. Near the beginning of the Galactic Battle season, Epic Games launched a fully voiced AI version of the character Darth Vader to the popular battle royale. A lot of content creators have been busy capturing humorous clips of their interaction with the NPC, asking him to help them with their math homework and even having him call them by funny names. However, due to the nature of Darth Vader being voiced by an AI version of the late James Earl Jones, who passed in 2024,SAG-AFTRA is now suingFortnitefor replacing the jobs of voice actors.
In a recentpost on Twitter, the popular leaker HYPEX pointed out that Epic Games may have teased the theme of Chapter 6 Season 3 ofFortnite. WhileEpic Games' announcementmostly involved news about real-lifeFortniteLEGO sets, the company concluded its statement by asking gamers to stay tuned for more “super-scale news.” In another post on Twitter, HYPEX pointed out thatFortnite’s next season could involve superheroesdue to numerous original skin concepts that were shared in a recent survey.
Chapter 6 Season 3 of Fortnite May Involve Superheroes
Another recent leak by ShiinaBR suggested thatFortnitecould be crossing over withSuperman, as James Gunn’s new movie is scheduled to launch on July 11. This would overlap with Chapter 6 Season 3, which would make the collaboration something of a natural fit. According to rumors, players might be able to actually become Superman during a match, though there’s no word on what kind of powers might come with the transformation. This could be similar to the way players were able to become Godzilla in the middle of a match during Chapter 6 Season 1. In fact,Fortnite’s Galactic Battle season currently allows gamers to take full control of a Star Destroyer, allowing them to fire upon any enemies in sight.
WhileFortnitehas featured numerous crossovers with Marvel, there has been no word about the popular company collaborating with Epic Games for Chapter 6 Season 3. This has disappointed some fans, but others are looking forward to seeing more original concepts potentially come to life in the popular battle royale. With so much content to explore and even more just around the corner, many players are feeling optimistic about the future ofFortnite.
