Fortnite players are wondering when the Death Star will show up to tease Chapter 6 Season 3. It could happen on April 19, so don't get caught off guard, let's break down what we know.

With Chapter 6 Season 2 close to ending, fans know now that the upcoming season will be a Star Wars-themed one. Contrary to popular belief considering the amount of Star Wars LTMs and cosmetics in the battle royale, this would be the first-ever season centered around a galaxy, far, far, away.

Fans will get more information during Star Wars Celebration 2025. The question is, will there be a live event today?

Now, players will have to wait until news is shown during the April 19 Star Wars Celebration stream. The stream will go live at 5:50 PDT. All we'll have to do is tune in and wait patiently for the Fortnite section to show up.

Epic Games is of course showing more than a live event for today. Players will likely get to see a general trailer for the upcoming Chapter 6 Season 3. A tease about what type of skins will be featured on next season's battle pass would also be welcomed.

Fans have been speculating that the battle pass will feature on Fortnite characters wearing Star Wars outfits. Similar to some Marvel battle passes that have featured the likes of Peely Wolverine or Jonesy Captain America.

Still, a few are waiting to see proper Star Wars characters. But with the majority of iconic heroes and villains already in the battle royale, the question is: who could Epic Games add to make it an enticing season in terms of cosmetics? I guess we'll have to wait and see.
