The current season of Fortnite is about to end, so make sure you’ve wrapped up all your challenges and finished every tier of the Chapter 6, Season 2 Battle Pass. Only hours remain before a new season drops and the current Star Wars-themed season ends and a new Superman season begins. This was a short, truncated season of content for Fortnite players.
The new season is Superman / DC Comics-themed thanks to the upcoming release of James Gunn’s new Superman movie starring James Corenswet. The Battle Pass skins are mostly based on DC characters including the new Superman model based on Corenswet from the film.
Read on to learn everything you need to know about the new Superhero Academy Chapter 6, Season 3.
What Time Is The Death Star Sabotage Live-Event?
The current season isn’t going out quietly. The Star Wars Galactic Battle wraps up with a major live-event called Death Star Sabotage. Here’s when it kicks off on Saturday, June 7th:
- West Coast US (PT): June 7 at 11:00 AM
- East Coast US (ET): June 7 at 2:00 PM
- United Kingdom (BST): June 7 at 7:00 PM
- Central Europe (CET): June 7 at 8:00 PM
- Japan (JST): June 8 at 3:00 AM
Players should get queued up early. You can login two hours ahead of the event to hopefully secure your spot (barring any technical problems or overwhelmed servers) and you can do that on mobile now that Fortnite is back in the Google Play and App Stores. There’s no exact timing or details on the event, but expect it to last 15 to 20 minutes.
What Time Does Season 2 End And Season 3 Begin?
Fortnite servers are set to go dark shortly after the live-event wraps up. Expect servers to go dark by 2:30pm ET. The game will likely go dark for the next few hours, but players will likely be able to hop into Season 3 the evening of Saturday, June 7th (earlier on the West Coast).
What’s New In Season 2?
Already we’ve started to see the Battle Pass skins leak for Season 3. These include Superman and Robin along with some pickaxes, gliders and more.
Superman’s dog Krypto is set to join the game as well, likely as some kind of pet companion. New weapons like the Unstable Yoink Shotgun are also coming to the battle royale game. Other items and weapons include • Krypto Treat • Superman Sprite • Unstable Yoink Shotgun • Wingshot Grappler • Deadeye DMR • Killswitch Revolvers • Hyperburst Pistol • Kor’s Deadeye DMR • Enhanced Spire Rifle • Myst Gauntlets • Spire Rifle • Tracking Visor.

A number of crossovers and other content drops are slated for Season 3 as well, but as of now we don’t have a trailer or any footage to share. I’ll update this post if that changes. For now, get ready for a major live-event and a brand new season. Bye bye Star Wars, hello DC Comics.
