Summary
Fortnite’sChapter 6 Season 3, which may feature the rumoredStar Warscrossover, could already have a name, as prominent leaker HYPEX revealed one possible title is “Galactic Battle.” Several rumors and hints point to a potential new collaboration between the massively popular battle royale and the iconic sci-fi space fantasy franchise, thoughFortnite’s developer hasn’t confirmed anything yet.
Fortnitehas featured plenty of collaborations over the years, ranging from superheroes, movies, and TV shows to even other video games and anime. Epic Games’ battle royale has been able to merge with characters from all kinds of media, steadily featuring special guest skins. With the upcoming release of Chapter 6 Season 3, rumors suggest a new collaboration withStar Wars, adding to the already long list of crossovers with the space fantasy franchise, includingThe Rise of Skywalkerand May the 4th Be With You events,The Mandalorian(Chapter 2, Season 5 Battle Pass), among others. Now, while players wait for an official announcement, a potential name for the new crossover has been leaked.
Trusted leaker HYPEX took to Twitter to inform fans that one possible name forFortnite’s rumoredStar Warsseasoncould be “Galactic Battle.” Although nothing has been confirmed yet, HYPEX has a track record of leaking crucial information not only aboutFortnitebut other popular titles as well. In a previous post from March, the leaker claimed thatFortnitewould collaborate withStar Wars, bringing a 35-day mini-season starting on May 2.

One positive hint for those waiting for this collab to happen is thatFortniteteased the collaboration on April 16. Although the developer didn’t explicitly say it, it revealed thatFortnitewould head toStar WarsCelebration in Japan on April 19, encouraging fans to tune into theStar WarsYouTube broadcast. Nevertheless, Epic’s potential focus on delivering a mini-season may be justified, as some of the previousFortnitecollaborations withStar Warshave been divisive among the community, and some comments on HYPEX’s post illustrate this, with players saying things like “Please no abilities or lightsabers” and “I’m a little tired ofStar Wars. Can we get a DC Battlepass?”
A newStar Warscrossover may also be disappointing forFortnitefans waiting forArcaneskins. Recently, Riot Games’ co-founder Marc Merrill said that Jinx and Vi’s skins won’t be coming back toFortniteanytime soon. HYPEX’s claims have yet to be officially confirmed, and players should tune into the broadcast on April 19 to find out if Chapter 6 Season 3 will actually beStar Wars-themed.
