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:
There's a wealth of excitement building for the new season, with a flurry of leaks emerging this week and even more during the live event. The superhero theme was unveiled, along with new Points Of Interest (POIs), fresh weapons and cosmetics, collaborations and more,.
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.

Comic-Con 2025 set to kick off in a year that some major superheroes are sitting out
Tens of thousands of fans — many in costumes — will descend Thursday on Comic-Con International, the four day pop culture spectacle that will feature updates on the new 'Predator' movie, 'Alien' series and a special appearance by George Lucas. Just don't expect major news about the future of Marvel 's movie slate or what's next for the hit relaunch of DC's high-flying 'Superman' franchise. Both studios are sitting out Comic-Con 2025, as far as their film slates go. An estimated 135,000 people will attend the convention, which will greet Lucas on Sunday for his first Comic-Con appearance. The 'Star Wars' creator will discuss his new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art that will open next year in Los Angeles. Fans of the 'Alien' and 'Predator' franchises will have plenty to cheer. Elle Fanning, star of 'Predator: Badlands,' will discuss the film at Comic-Con's massive Hall H this week. FX will also bring the stars and creators of 'Alien: Earth,' a series that will unleash the Xenomorph species on Earth next month. 'Alien: Earth' will be one of the projects that brings a massive interactive experience to San Diego, with a replica of spacecraft from the series. The attraction will feature what's described as a terrifying mission at night. Marvel may not be presenting new movies, but it will have a 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' attraction near the convention, a tie-in to Friday's release of the latest attempt to successfully launch its 'first family' in theaters. Thousands of fans got a sneak peek at the convention's 460,000 square foot (42,700 square meter) exhibitor section, which features exclusive merchandise, comic book art and exhibits from brands like Star Wars, Lego, Nickelodeon, Paramount and more.

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.
