Major alterations in Fortnite's Star Wars chapter during season 6: What's new?
In the fifth week of Fortnite's Chapter 6, a new season, known as Galactic Battle, immerses players in a Star Wars-themed universe. This brief yet action-packed season introduces a series of updates, changes, and unique features inspired by the iconic space saga.
The battle royale map receives a Star Wars makeover, with key locations like First Order Base, Outpost Enclave, Resistance Base, and Vader's Samurai Solitude added to the island's corners. To intensify the Star Wars atmosphere, several landmarks are transformed, and visual elements such as a towering Death Star and spacecraft fleets are integrated.
The season includes a roster of Star Wars characters. Upon launch, players can interact with the initial NPC list featuring Poe Dameron, General Grievous, and a Wookiee Team Leader mashup. In future updates, characters like Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo, and Mandalorians join the fray.
Another notable addition is the availability of X-Wings and TIE Fighters, landed strategically throughout the island. These quick and powerful vehicles boast Formidable weaponry, capable of demolishing structures and opponent bases. If shot down, these starfighters have three 'lives' each, allowing players to recharge and return to the skies.
To match the episodic Star Wars narrative, Fortnite Season 3 is divided into five installments, with themes like Imperial Takeover, The Pull of the Force, Mandalorian Rising, Star Destroyer Bombardment, and Death Star Sabotage. The latter is expected to conclude the season, marking the next Fortnite live event, a highly interactive in-game narrative event that will put players at the center of the action.
Upon the Death Star Sabotage's conclusion, Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 promises to deliver a fully immersive Star Wars experience, featuring thematic map changes, exclusive Star Wars characters and weapons, new starfighter vehicles for aerial battles, and an episodic structure culminating in special events.
Players can join exciting games set in a Star Wars-themed universe during the Galactic Battle season of Fortnite Chapter 6, featuring deals like the opportunity to pilot X-Wings and TIE Fighters. These games provide entertainment as players battle it out on a battle royale map redesigned with Star Wars landmarks and visual elements, such as the towering Death Star.
