Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 is officially here! Following the Collision event that took place on June 4, the new season went live a few hours afterwards. That involves a new Battle Pass with Darth Vader as the level 100 reward, as well as some fresh areas of the island to explore.

With just a few days to go until the Chapter 3 Season 3 Collision event takes place, Epic Games has started to tease what to expect.

For now, the teases are quite indecipherable, but we expect more to come over the next few days.

The latest was sent to Ali-A on Twitter and you can see it below:

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 release date

As per the game itself, the next season of Fortnite started on June 4, 2022. That was the day after the current Chapter 3 Season 2 battle pass ended.

Epic Games never leaves long between seasons, so all the new content was ready in early June. As such, there will be new skins, weapons, and quests to complete. June will be a month filled with Fortnite goodness!

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 map

Two new locations were added to the map in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3, thanks to areas such as the Spire being removed in the Collision event. The two new spots are called Rave Cave and Reality Falls, with both found on the western side of the map. Heading there for the first time will get you a comfortable XP boost, so check them out.

Equally, there's been a recent trend of fan-favourite locations like Tilted Towers returning to the Fortnite map. Could another iconic location return in Chapter 3 Season 3? We'll have to wait and see!

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 trailer

The first cinematic for Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 focuses on the chilled-out summer atmosphere, aptly titled Vibin.

There's also a new gameplay trailer, showing off the new season in action - including a look at Darth Vader.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 Battle Pass

The headliner of the Chapter 3 Season 3 Battle Pass is Darth Vader, who is available as the final prize once you collect all the other rewards. That's alongside a bunch of other Star Wars loot, including new loading screens and emblems. Other new skins on the Battle Pass include Evie, Snap, and Adira.

Aside from that, the other big licensed name is another Lucasfilm staple, Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford's iconic character will be accessible in a month's time as one of the separate quest paths, similar to how Prowler was added last season.

On top of that, a recent skin survey shared a bunch of concept skins that Epic Games may add in the new season. You can see all of that concept art down below:
