Fortnite next season release date and Chapter 6 Season 3 end
What’s new in Fortnite?
A new Star Wars Season of Fortnite launched May 2. So far, we’ve all been able to fly X-Wings, pick up Force Lightning abilities, and take on Vader Samurai at a new map location. Looking ahead, there’s set to be an update on May 22 that’s themed all around Mandalorians. This brings the Amban Sniper Rifle and the new dual-wield WESTAR-34 Blaster Pistols. Jetpacks will be unvaulted as well.
Fortnite Chapter 6 is finally here, continuing with Fortnite: Galactic Battle, which completely switches up the map once again. There’s new weapons to try out, you can now fire off Force Lightning, and there’s a whole new Battle Pass to work through.
We don’t yet know what’s to follow in the next season of Fortnite, but Star Wars fans can rejoice as we’ll all be jumping into Fortnite: Galactic Battle for the next month or so. It’s frequent updates like these that make Fortnite one of the best battle royale games around.
Here’s everything you need to know about the process of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 ending, when the next season starts, and what to expect from Fortnite in the future.
When does the current season of Fortnite end?
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 ends on June 7, 2025 at 2AM ET / 7AM GMT. This matches the main Battle Pass screen in-game. In addition, Epic Games stated this end date in a recent blog post detailing the new season.
It’s worth noting that some previous seasons’s timings shifted by a couple of days just before the new one was supposed to arrive, so timings here are always subject to change regarding downtime periods. The best place to keep up on specific updates closer to the launch of the new season is the Fortnite Status Twitter account. We’ll be sure to keep this page up to date as well.
