Fortnite servers are down right now. Epic Games pulled the plug right after the “Death Star Sabotage” live event, marking the end of the short but action-packed Star Wars season.
Now, all eyes are on Season 3, which is set to launch later today, June 7. According to the in-game timer, the downtime will last for about 5.5 hours, so the new season should go live around 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT.
This season is all about superheroes. The Battle Pass brings in a new Superman, based on David Corenswet’s version from the upcoming DC films. We are also getting Robin, Jonesy, and a few original characters designed just for this season.
The theme? A Superhero Academy. The new map includes a fresh location called Utopia City, and there are strong hints that this season will shift away from building and focus more on superpowers. Expect a lot of high-energy gameplay and cinematic action.
Like always, Fortnite is also bringing in big crossovers. One Punch Man and Squid Game skins are part of the lineup, either in the Battle Pass or hitting the Item Shop soon. There are also rumors that Superman’s Fortress of Solitude will replace Masked Meadows on the map.
What to Expect in Season 3:
- Launch Time: 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT on June 7
- Main Theme: Superheroes
- New Characters: Superman, Robin, Jonesy, more
- Map Update: Utopia City and more superhero locations
- Gameplay Shift: Focus on powers over building
- New Crossovers: One Punch Man, Squid Game, and others
This new season feels fresh. With a brand-new look, new mechanics, and exciting crossovers, Fortnite Season 3 is already grabbing attention. If you are a fan of action, heroes, or just something new, this is a great time to jump back in.
Get ready. Fortnite Season 3 is almost here.
