Although Chapter 6 Season 3—titled Galactic Battle—only launched a few weeks ago, the countdown to Season 4 has already begun. With under two weeks remaining, leaks and teases have painted a thrilling picture for what’s to come. Fortnite is shifting from lightsabers and the Death Star to a full-blown superhero-themed season, complete with original heroes, DC Comics characters like Superman and Robin, and an entirely new faction called The Ascended.
Here’s a full breakdown of what to expect from Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4, including live event details, Battle Pass leaks, new locations, and more.

The Death Star Live Event and Story Connection
The transition from Star Wars to superheroes might seem sudden, but Epic Games has carefully crafted the storyline to make it all fit. The Death Star Live Event is set to conclude the Galactic Battle season on June 7, with players tasked with stopping Emperor Palpatine from stealing the zero point shard.
Meanwhile, a Spirit Realm portal has been rebuilt and is slowly activating—its energy assumed to be powered by dark magic, likely Palpatine’s. As the portal connects to the spirit realm, it will enable the corrupted version of Diego, also known as “Corrupted,” to reenter the island as a new villain.
“The newly constructed spirit realm portal will go through stages of its own as it begins to slowly activate… connecting us to the spirit realm.” – Home of Games
This portal is at the heart of the transition to Season 4, allowing Midas—who has been hiding on the island—to unveil his new project: a superhero academy funded using the wealth he accumulated last season. This academy is meant to combat the threat of Diego and the dark presence controlling him.
Battle Pass Skins: Superman, Robin, and Original Heroes
Chapter 6 Season 4 is poised to deliver one of Fortnite’s most exciting Battle Passes to date. Leaks confirm that Superman will return as a Battle Pass Skin—this time based on the upcoming 2024 movie. His Fortress of Solitude will be added to the map, replacing Diego’s former base at Mass Meadows.
Superman is also expected to be a mid-season unlock (secret skin) and a boss character. His gameplay ability, codenamed Spatial Travel, will allow players to fly and unleash superpowers similar to the Kaiju and Star Destroyer mythics from past seasons.
Joining him will be Robin (Dick Grayson), who will appear in the Battle Pass as a skin styled after his classic comic appearance. Meanwhile, code names like Polarity Win and other datamined files point to several original superheroes crafted by Epic Games under the Ascended faction.

New Locations: Utopia and Superhero HQs
As with every new season, a map refresh is expected—and this one will be massive. The biggest change will be the transformation of Seapport City into Utopia, a futuristic city that acts as home base for the new superheroes. The location is theorized to span all the way to Shining Span Bridge and features new terrain and architecture.
Utopia may also be tied to rumors of a Travis Scott re-release, as his last album shares the same name, although most believe this to be a coincidence.
Other revamped locations include:
- Fortress of Solitude – Superman’s HQ, replacing Mass Meadows.
- Crime City – Undergoing reconstruction after the vaults were destroyed, and now potentially a training ground for new hero NPCs offering mythic powers.
More Gameplay Features, Cosmetics, and Event Timing
Beyond the storyline and map updates, players can expect a slate of new mechanics and rewards:
- New Ability – Shove: A Creative-only ability so far that lets players push others away. It could arrive in Battle Royale soon.
- General Grievous Detail: Epic went as far as modeling his full face under the mask—even though it’s barely visible in-game.
- Double Live Events? – Chapter 1’s OG Season 4 (also superhero-themed) is ending on the same day as Galactic Battle. The meteor is returning, and some fans speculate the OG and modern live events could be connected.
