Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 countdown and everything we know so far
The Galactic Battle mini season concluded with a thrilling showdown against Emperor Palapatine, the obliteration of the Death Star and a tantalising glimpse of the new superhero powers set to debut in the forthcoming season.
The countdown to Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 has kicked off following the successful destruction of the Death Star by players, resulting in a dramatic return to the Island. The conclusion of the Fortnite live event offered a sneak peek at our newly acquired powers, while Superman was seen keeping a watchful eye on the Island, ready for the anticipated superhero collaboration leaked for the upcoming season.
Interestingly, it appears that the Star Wars mini season wasn't a numbered seasonal entry, but rather nestled between Chapter 6 Season 2 and Season 3. Now that the Fortnite downtime has commenced, so too has the countdown to Chapter 6 Season 3.
If you missed the Death Star Sabotage event, you can catch up courtesy of @Hypex below:

We'll delve into that shortly, but for now, here's exactly when the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 countdown concludes and when you can plunge back into the game.

When does the Fortnite live event start? When you can watch the Blast Off throwback showcase
The latest live event is heading to Fortnite in a completely new format, as Epic Games presents the first-ever OG-exclusive live event, designed to mirror the iconic Blast Off rocket launch. The forthcoming Fortnite live event is intriguing for several reasons. Firstly, this is the inaugural live event set to occur exclusively in Fortnite OG mode, heralding a new era where the game can venture in any direction it chooses for these grand spectacles – and equally, as the first live event that could directly mimic the first that Fortnite ever created, there are countless thrilling possibilities at play here. At present, it's uncertain what the live event will bring, whether it will break away with a fresh spectacle or simply revisit the classic Blast Off event – marking the first time in the game's history that a live event has excluded the popular battle royale mode, as it prepares for the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 end date. It's a big mystery currently, but as players continue to delve into the game's Super Battle Pass before it expires and get excited for the Fantastic Four cosmetics, it's a busy period, so it needs to make a significant impact. Fortunately, it appears that's exactly what we're going to receive. So, when exactly does the Fortnite live event kick off? Here's what you need to know about the upcoming Blast Off event. Fortnite live event start time The Blast Off Fortnite live event is scheduled to kick off at 11am PDT / 2pm EDT / 7pm BST on Saturday, July 26. This was first brought to our attention when we looked into the next Fortnite live event date, which had been confirmed directly by Epic Games. The actual contents of the event are yet to be unveiled (though we'll likely only know for certain when that rocket launches in-game), but it's certainly exciting to witness the first-ever OG-exclusive live event in Fortnite's history, particularly as the classic character The Visitor is expected to make an appearance alongside the inhabitants of the current Fortnite OG Battle Pass. We'll be there regardless.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 end date – your last chance to finish the Battle Pass is approaching
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 is nearly at an end, and there isn't long for players to get stuck in and complete its Battle Pass before it's time to say goodbye to Robin and the other superpowered characters The current Fortnite era is nearing its end, with players having limited time to complete its Battle Pass before Robin and his team disappear into the next season. Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 has been quite significant, particularly as it followed a mini-season that compensated for its short duration with a wealth of content. The introduction of Superman in the Super Battle Pass, along with the new Fantastic 4 cosmetics, have made this season memorable as the Battle Royale game mirrors cinema trends by embracing superheroes once again. It's been enjoyable meeting the season's new characters, with the Battle Pass roster becoming increasingly popular among fans, particularly with Morgan Myst and Storm Beast emerging as new icons for the real Fortnite girlies. However, we're soon to bid them farewell as the upcoming update 36.30 is expected to be the final patch before the season concludes, marking the end of a period that offered players some thrilling superpowers to experiment with. There are whispers of a bug invasion in the next season, revisiting an alien theme with a chilling, eerie twist that could align the game with fans' genuine phobias of creepy-crawlies – but to confirm this theory, we'll simply have to wait until Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4. But when exactly does Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 conclude? Here's what you need to know. When does Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 end? The end date for Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 is scheduled for Wednesday, August 6 at 10:30pm PDT, and Thursday, August 7 at 1.30am EDT / 6.30am BST, when the game will enter a period of downtime. This coincides with the end date for Fortnite OG Chapter 4, as confirmed by the game's Battle Pass page. There's not much time left to complete your Battle Pass and enjoy the map in its current state, since there's no certainty about which POIs will make it through the big seasonal transition. Make sure to bid farewell to Krypto while you have the chance. We're certainly going to miss him.
