The countdown has begun for Fortnite’s new season — and this one’s all about Superman.
As Chapter 6, Season 2 (which was Star Wars-themed) comes to a close, Epic Games is ending things with a bang — literally.
A special live event called Death Star Sabotage is set to wrap up the current season, making way for the new superhero-packed Season 3.
Here’s everything you need to know — from exact live-event timings to what’s coming in the new Battle Pass and map.
