Fortnite Leak Reveals Crossover With a Popular 80’s TV Show
A prominent Fortnite leaker reveals that Epic Games' popular battle royale could be getting a crossover with an iconic 80's television series.
In a recent post on Twitter, Epic Games gave gamers their first look at the Chapter 6 Season 3 map, which features a variety of iconic Star Wars-themed locations in Fortnite. According to the map, players will soon be able to visit Resistance Base, Vader Samurai's Solitude, Outpost Enclave, and First Order Base.

In a recent appearance at Star Wars Celebration Japan, Ahmed Best, the actor who portrayed Jar Jar Binks in the films, confirmed that Fortnite's new Star Wars season will include a full battle pass, weekly updates, and a wide variety of cosmetics for players to enjoy. He also said that gamers will be able to take to the skies in X-Wings and Tie Fighters. The teaser trailer for the season showed off new skins for Darth Jar Jar, Emperor Palpatine, Mace Windu, and more.
Epic Games recently changed the way Reboots work in Fortnite, as players now have the ability to purchase a fallen teammate's Reboot Card for 500 gold. In addition, gamers can pay 1,000 gold to Reboot with better weapons and shields, instead of re-entering the match with a common pistol. While these new features do come with a fairly hefty cost, a large portion of the community believes they're balanced fairly well. With the introduction of heists and vaults in Chapter 6 Season 2, players have more ways than ever to earn gold. The high cost of these new reboot options gives people a reason to keep collecting and spending the currency. With a whole new season just around the corner and even more content on the way, many fans feel optimistic about the future of Fortnite.
