Summary
Fortnitehas moved up the end time of the already shortStar Wars-themed season. When Chapter 6 Season 2 ended, players thought that Season 3 would begin right after. However, that was not the case, and instead,Fortnitetook a break from its storyline and focused on an exciting collab. While fans are used to Epic Games joining forces withStar Warsfor a themed event during the month of May, due to the May the 4th celebrations, they were not expecting a full-fledged mini-season dedicated to the franchise.
Galactic Battle, theStar Wars-themed season inFortnite’s Battle Royale game mode, took things to a whole new level. All standard weapons were vaulted and replaced with lightsabers andStar Warsweapons. There was a complete gameplay shift because of this, as gamers were able to change their priorities while looting. Since this season’s weapons overheat, they don’t require ammunition, which is why ammo and ammo boxes were removed from Battle Royale for the first time ever.
While gamers may be enjoying this season, it’s only a month long, meaning it will only last about a third of the usual time, and now, it will be even shorter, as the end time has been moved up 12 hours. It might not seem like much, but most players will lose a day’s worth of playing, as downtime won’t start during the early morning hours like initially planned; it’ll start in the afternoon of the day before. While gamers expected they would have the entirety of June 7 toplayFortniteand then sleep through downtimeonce it started on June 8, it will now begin on June 7 at 2 PM ET.
When Does the Star Wars Season End in Fortnite?
Additionally, it is unknown how long the downtime will last. Chapter 6 Season 3 could start at the same time as it was supposed to before the new schedule was revealed, or it could be moved up to June 7 as well. Since there is only information on the end time of Galactic Battle, gamers won’t be able to plan ahead of time so they can be ready for thestart of Chapter 6 Season 3.
Since Galactic Battle is shorter than fans initially expected, gamers have less time to complete the Battle Pass. Therefore, if players want to get every item in the Galactic Battle Pass and in the Bonus Rewards tab, they should focus onearning XP by playing Creative Islandsand Save the World and completing as many quests as they can.
