With the clash between IO and the Seven reaching a boiling point, things are sure to get nasty, and we might get to see some new faces who will help us win the war. While there has been no word on the theme of Chapter 3 Season 2, some have speculated that we are going to get a Star Wars crossover-themed season.

Prominent leaker Shiina revealed details about in-game files containing various Star Wars cosmetics, and other leakers have revealed that multiple Lightsabers were added back into the game with the 19.10 update. Even Donald Mustard has been posting Star Wars-related pictures on Instagram, further fueling the speculation. However, nothing has been confirmed as of now by the developers.


Collabs and more

With the official artwork of the upcoming Marvel x Fortnite: Zero War comic revealed, there is a chance that some characters might visit the island in Chapter 3 Season 2. The official artwork features some prominent faces from the Marvel universe, such as Shuri, Wolverine, and Spiderman, and players might see them make their way into the Item Shop.

Even Agent Jonesy and one of the Sisters can be seen in the artwork, so it's worth keeping an eye out for them as well. Furthermore, with the release of the next Dr. Strange movie on the horizon, Shiina has revealed that Dr. Strange will be arriving in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2. The crossover might take place before the release of the upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness film.


More leaks about Chapter 3 Season 2

Aside from all the collaborations and skins, the new season will also bring changes to the overall gameplay. The new map will see a few changes, with one of them being the transformation of the Devourer Landmark into Cattus Cave. Leakers have discovered audio files that include howls of a monster, so it might be worth checking out.

A new assault rifle called Mythic Thermal AR is also on its way next season, and as per HYPEX, it will have a fire rate of 1.8 (70 DPS) and take two seconds to reload. New mechanics such as tactical shielding, tactical sprinting, and tactical overshield will also be introduced with Chapter 3 Season 2.

There's a chance that Dr. Slone will also be making a return as IO continues to drill the island and create massive sinkholes. Leaks have also hinted that a drivable Battle Bus fitted with turrets is likely to arrive in Chapter 3 Season 2.
