Fortnite’s Chapter 6 Season 3 is shaping up to be one of the most dynamic updates yet, with a newly leaked gameplay feature pointing to the return of Zero Point shards — a fan-favorite mobility mechanic from past seasons. The leak comes amid an action-packed Galactic Battle mini-season, which has added major Star Wars characters like Emperor Palpatine, Mace Windu, General Grievous, and even Jar Jar Binks to the island.
Zero Point Shards Might Be Coming Back
According to Fortnite leaker Loolo_WRLD, data files indicate that Zero Point shards could be making a comeback in Chapter 6 Season 3. These items, which originally allowed players to dash quickly across the battlefield, offered a significant mobility advantage without giving players direct offensive power.
The original iteration of the shards allowed players to pick them up from the ground and use a short burst dash — perfect for dodging enemy fire or closing the distance during combat. The mechanic was praised for adding fluidity to gameplay without disrupting balance, making it a welcome addition for those who favor mobility-focused strategies.
Superhero-Themed Season on the Horizon
Another major rumor surrounding Chapter 6 Season 3 involves a potential superhero theme. However, instead of relying on Marvel or DC characters, Epic Games appears to be planning original superhero concepts based on ideas surveyed within the community. This move could open the door to custom powers and fresh storylines designed entirely in-house by Epic.
While the specifics remain unclear, fans are already speculating about how these abilities could shape the new loot pool, especially considering the current dominance of Star Wars-themed gear and powers in the ongoing Galactic Battle event.
Possible Superman Crossover in Development
In addition to original superhero content, another rumor is generating buzz: a crossover with James Gunn’s upcoming Superman film. If the speculation proves true, players may soon have the opportunity to become Superman during a match — similar to how they transformed into Godzilla in Chapter 6 Season 1.
Details on gameplay mechanics for Superman are still unknown, but fans expect powers like flight, super strength, and heat vision to be in the mix if the crossover goes ahead. No release date has been confirmed, but anticipation is building across the community.
iOS Availability Still in Limbo
Meanwhile, Fortnite remains absent from iOS platforms due to the ongoing legal standoff between Epic Games and Apple. Since being removed from the App Store, Fortnite has been inaccessible on all iOS devices, and there’s currently no timeline for its return.
The standoff stems from Epic’s attempt to bypass Apple’s in-app payment system — a move that led to the game’s ban. Players on iPhone and iPad continue to hope for a resolution, especially as new seasonal content rolls out without them.
What to Expect From Chapter 6 Season 3
With mobility mechanics like Zero Point dashing potentially returning, original superheroes stepping into the spotlight, and high-profile crossovers on the table, Chapter 6 Season 3 is positioning itself as a bold reinvention of Fortnite’s formula. Fans can expect:
- Zero Point shards for faster traversal and enhanced mobility.
- Epic’s original superhero characters with custom powers.
- A potential Superman skin and gameplay event tied to the upcoming film.
- Shift in the loot pool from Star Wars-themed gear to superhero abilities.
While nothing has been officially confirmed by Epic Games, the leaks and data mining suggest that Fortnite is once again ready to push the boundaries of its gameplay and storytelling. Players can expect a more detailed reveal closer to the launch of Chapter 6 Season 3.
