Fortnite Galactic Battle is nearing its end, and Epic Games has officially announced that downtime for the season's last update will commence on May 29 at 4 AM ET. March brought a thrilling Star Wars-themed experience to the Battle Royale island, captivating players with its fast-paced action. However, this season has been labeled a "mini-season," lasting only 36 days—significantly shorter than the usual two to three months of standard Fortnite seasons.

As the season draws to a close, fans are speculating how the Galactic Battle narrative will tie into Chapter 6. The Story Quests this season were notably cryptic, leaving many questions unanswered about the Empire's presence on the island. Whether the storyline will reach a resolution remains uncertain, but players may uncover clues during the Death Star Sabotage live event on June 7.

The Death Star Sabotage event will be integrated into the game files with the next update, heightening anticipation. Epic Games has confirmed the downtime schedule, allowing players to prepare. According to the official Fortnite Status Twitter account, patch v35.20 downtime begins on May 29 at 4 AM ET. Matchmaking will be disabled approximately 30 minutes prior to ensure players don't enter unfinished matches. Expect the last match to start around 3:30 AM ET.

This update isn't just about the live event. Major patches near the end of a season often bring exciting leaks, including details about upcoming Fortnite skins, collaborations, items, and quests.

Leak enthusiasts can look forward to revelations about Sith Rey cosmetics, the Sabrina Carpenter event, the Star Destroyer ship, and sneak peeks into Chapter 6 Season 3 and Chapter 1 Season 4 of Fortnite OG. Friday promises to be a pivotal day for fans, so mark your calendars for the new content drop.
