Fortnite Teases Chapter 6 Season 3 — Superhero Theme Possibly Incoming

Epic Games has officially dropped the first teaser for Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, and early clues suggest a superhero-themed season could be on the horizon. The teaser follows the successful release of Fortnite’s Star Wars-themed mini-season, which introduced legendary characters like General Grievous, Emperor Palpatine, and even Jar Jar Binks to the island.

Star Wars Mini-Season: Popular but Controversial

While the Galactic Battle mini-season has been a major hit among Star Wars fans, it hasn’t come without controversy. One major point of concern was the introduction of a fully AI-voiced Darth Vader, using the likeness of James Earl Jones, who passed away in 2024. Although many players enjoyed the quirky NPC interactions—like Vader helping with math homework or handing out funny nicknames—this move drew backlash from the voice acting community.

In response, SAG-AFTRA (the Screen Actors Guild) has filed a lawsuit against Fortnite, claiming that the use of AI to replicate a deceased actor’s voice undermines the work of human performers.

Epic Teases "Super-Scale News"

In a recent Twitter post, well-known Fortnite leaker HYPEX pointed out a subtle hint from Epic Games. While the company’s announcement focused on new real-world LEGO sets, it ended with a mysterious line encouraging fans to stay tuned for “super-scale news”—a phrase many believe alludes to superheroes.

HYPEX also noted that recent player surveys featured several original superhero skin concepts, adding weight to the speculation.

Superman Crossover Rumored

Another reliable leaker, ShiinaBR, reported that Fortnite might soon cross paths with Superman, potentially in time for the release of James Gunn’s upcoming Superman film on July 11. That date lines up perfectly with Chapter 6 Season 3’s expected timeline, making a collaboration very likely.

According to leaks, players could even transform into Superman mid-match, though it’s still unclear what powers that transformation would grant. This wouldn’t be the first time Fortnite has pulled off something like this—Chapter 6 Season 1 allowed players to become Godzilla mid-battle, and the current Galactic Battle season lets users pilot a Star Destroyer to rain fire on enemies.

No Word on Marvel—Yet

Despite frequent past collaborations, Marvel hasn’t been mentioned in any leaks tied to the upcoming season. While this has left some fans disappointed, others are excited about the possibility of seeing new original superhero concepts take the spotlight.

A Season Full of Potential

Between the rumors, leaks, and official hints, Chapter 6 Season 3 is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing content drops in Fortnite’s recent history. Whether it's Superman, brand-new heroes, or something completely unexpected, fans have plenty to look forward to as the next season draws closer.
