The in-game event is in its early stages, and the game developer will also have a special announcement on Saturday. According to a couple of leakers, Epic will reveal a trailer for the upcoming season in less than 12 hours. The next Fortnite Battle Pass was leaked a while ago, and today’s announcement may confirm it. Furthermore, it will almost certainly confirm the theme of the next season, as Epic will reveal it during the Star Wars Celebration event. The announcement will be big, and you don’t want to miss it! When will the Fortnite x Star Wars announcement come out? If you want to watch the announcement live, you can do so on Star Wars’ YouTube channel. Unfortunately, there is no exact time when the Fortnite season will be announced, as Epic Games only said that it would happen in the evening Eastern Time. Due to this, we expect it to be around 7 or 8 PM ET, around the time the Item Shop resets. “Tomorrow will be here soon enough and something out of this galaxy arrives with it! Tune into the Star Wars Celebration YouTube Livestream on April 19 evening ET, you won’t want to miss this,” Fortnite posted on X (formerly Twitter), teasing the event. The next Fortnite Battle Pass will have a Star Wars theme. Image by VideoGamer As we are less than two weeks away from the new season, revealing its trailer makes sense. Hopefully, this will be the season that we get lightsaber pickaxes in. Keep in mind, however, that Season 3 will be the shortest regular season, lasting for a bit more than a month. It will have two major updates and likely a smaller Battle Pass. If you’d like to know what’s coming in the next Fortnite season, make sure to tune into a live stream tonight!
