Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 is a full Star Wars season, and Epic have announced that it will roll out over the course of five distinct updates.
Although Fortnite’s new Star Wars season is set to be one of the shortest ever, it’s still gearing up to be one of the most stacked in terms of content. A Battle Pass full of iconic characters, including Mace Windu, is on the way, and the map will be littered with recognizable landmarks and NPCs.
On top of all that, the season is also broken up into different sections, with each one exploring a different theme from the popular sci-fi universe.
So, here’s a full breakdown of the update schedule and what Chapter 6 Season 3 has in store.

Very little has been revealed about what each update has in store, but from the names and some leaked details, we can piece together a picture of what’s to come.
The season begins on March 2 with Imperial Takeover, which is likely when Stormtroopers and more of the Empire’s droids will start to take over the map. This is also the point at which the brand-new map will arrive, which swaps out many current locations for POIs like Resistance Base and Outlaw Oasis.
Next up is Pull of the Force, which sounds like when the Force-wielders Luke Skywalker and perhaps even Darth Vader will enter the fray. This is followed by Mandalorian Rising, where an influx of armored bounty hunters will emerge.
Then, the season will begin to wind down with Star Destroyer Bombardment, which will set the stage for the Death Star Sabotage live event on June 7.
Although we don’t yet know the specifics of what each week will include, you can expect some pretty drastic changes throughout. This includes new locations on the map, different NPCs to visit, and powerful items to find.
When will Fortnite’s Star Wars season end?
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 will end on Saturday, June 7, 2025, following the conclusion of the Death Star Sabotage live event. This finale is said to be “interactive,” letting players take part in an all-out assault on the Death Star that can be seen floating above the island.
Once the event concludes and the Empire has been defeated, the season will draw to a close. That being said, it’s unclear if Chapter 6 Season 4 will begin immediately after, or if there will be a period of downtime between the updates.
We’ll likely get even more details on each update once the Star Wars takeover begins, so we’ll be sure to keep this page up to date with the latest information.
