How about becoming Superman for a game? July 11, 2025 marks the arrival of Big Blue in Fortnite, as part of Chapter 6 Season 3. Available on all the usual platforms, this new content temporarily transforms the island into a battlefield between young heroes and the fearsome Daigo. The event introduces gameplay centered around a special item, the Superman Calling Crystal, which can appear in Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.
As of 3pm (CEST), players who get their hands on this crystal can temporarily incarnate Superman, with the ability to fly, thermal vision to destroy structures and superhuman strength. If he is eliminated, the power changes hands and the player returns to normal. It is therefore advisable to " take cover ".
From July 15, players will also be able to explore the Fortress of Solitude, housed in an ice castle inspired by the Arctic tundra. Superman will offer his services in exchange for ingots. At the same time, newAcademy technology labs appear on the island, bringing a number of exotic items such as the unstable bouncing grenade and the unstable thunderbolt sniper rifle.
A new blessing called " speed boost " also enables players to sprint faster while consuming less energy. It is available in chests or technology labs. The higher the player's hero rank, the less energy is consumed.
This content is aimed primarily at holders of the Super Battle Pass. From July 11 onwards, they can unlock the Superman outfit by earning 12 account levels, regardless of game mode. Additional levels unlock cosmetic items related to the superhero universe, including the Globe Daily Planet glider and the Crystalline Crusher pickaxe.
All this content can be unlocked up to the end of Season 3 of this Chapter 6. Among the ultimate rewards is a pencilled Superman style, designed by Jim Lee and inspired by comic books.
Players on iOS now have an " Invite to Fortnite " button, allowing them to send invitations via SMS. This can help them progress faster through the Super Pass levels, especially in co-op mode.
At the same time, the Fortnite Shop will be offering Mister Terrific and TheEngineer, both from James Gunn's feature film currently in cinemas, as of July 11 at 2am (CEST), adding two figures from the DC universe. The presence of these new characters reinforces the heroic theme of this season, without upsetting the basic gameplay.
The temporary addition of Kryptonian powers reshuffles the cards during the game, while maintaining balance through the mechanics of returning to normal after elimination. This season focuses more on mobility and agility, with the possibility of accessing specific weapons and bonuses, and adapting one's style of play according to one's hero rank.
Finally, as Fortnite points out, " save the island, one Battle Royale game at a time ": an invitation to actively participate in ongoing events, with no guarantee of victory, but with the assurance of discovering new and temporary content.
