Uh, okay… So, Fortnite just dropped this little hint—not sure if it’s accidental or on purpose. I’m talking about Chapter 6 Season 3, and there’s some buzz about superheroes. Yeah, we’ve been here before, but still. Epic Games kicked off a Star Wars mini-season, which sounds straightforward, right? We’ve got General Grievous, Palpatine, and even Jar Jar Binks popping up on the battlefield. It’s like a fan’s fever dream—chaotic in all the right ways.
But, oh boy, did it get murky fast. Right when the Galactic Battle season launched, Epic decided, “Hey, let’s throw in AI Darth Vader.” And, just… why? People are messing around, making this AI Vader do all sorts of weird stuff, like, what even is happening? They’re asking him for help with math homework. Imagine Vader doing fractions. Hilarious, right? Except, turns out, this was an AI voice of the late James Earl Jones. Yeah, he passed in 2024. Fast forward, and SAG-AFTRA’s pulling out the legal cards. They’re saying Fortnite’s cutting out real voice actors. It’s a whole mess.
Oh, and speaking of messes, HYPEX on Twitter—if you don’t follow, you might be missing out—spotted something. Epic’s rambling about real-life Lego Fortnite stuff but then finishes with a vague “super-scale news” teaser. Super-scale? What are we even talking about? Anyway, this somehow led HYPEX to think Chapter 6 Season 3 is going full superhero. Original skins, survey hints—rumor central.
Chapter 6 might get a crossover with Superman (hi, James Gunn’s movie!), which is quirky timing since his film drops July 11. What a coincidence. Or is it? Fortnite might let you become Superman mid-game. No idea about the powers, though. It’s probably mysterious, just like when you became Godzilla—good old unpredictable Fortnite, right? Galactic Battle is letting players control a Star Destroyer. Fire at will. Forget peacekeeping—go big or go home.
Now, here’s a twist: no peeps from Marvel about joining Chapter 6 Season 3. Smart move or missed opportunity? Who knows? Some fans are sulking, but others are hyped for fresh stuff—like, new ideas are gold dust in their book. Anyway, plenty on Fortnite’s docket already, so players are optimistic, thinking big. Keeping fingers crossed that it’s all worth the hype.
