Fortnite’s first-ever Star Wars season is here, and it’s brought with it plenty of exciting changes all around the island. There’s a lot to explore, so you may want to review the patch notes to learn about everything you can find and experience.
Since the island is quite vast, it can be tricky to uncover everything new when a fresh season begins. It’s a lot easier to know what you’re looking for when you’re already familiar with all of the new content. Here’s everything coming in Fortnite Chapter Six, season three, with the launch of the Galactic Battle season.
