Superman Buffed, Daigo Takes Over, and Marvel Brings the Heat
Following a massive 12-hour downtime, Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 has exploded back online with a Superman-sized update, and it’s arguably one of the biggest ones yet. From leveling up Superman’s mythic to a growing demon invasion, new POIs, collabs with Fantastic Four and Rocket League, and jaw-dropping storyline twists, there’s something for every kind of player. Whether you’re into battling bosses, hunting map secrets, or just unlocking fire cosmetics, this update packs endgame energy.
Superman’s Mythic Got a Supercharged Glow-Up
Let’s start with the biggest comeback of the season: Superman’s Kryptonian Form Mythic is finally cracked. Epic rolled out heavy buffs that have totally changed how the mythic plays:
- +500 extra health
- +71% heat vision damage
- +1 minute to active time
- +350% siphon (yep, heals for days)
This rework now makes Supes feel like the boss he always should’ve been – melting builds with lasers, tanking shots, and soaring across the island like a true protector of Earth. And if that wasn’t enough justice for one day, the Fortress of Solitude has dropped as a fully explorable POI. Lifted straight from the latest Superman flick, this new location features interior and exterior loot – and boy, it’s clean.
Meanwhile over at Supernova Academy, things aren’t looking so good. The school’s been leveled in what appears to be a clash with Daigo, sparking big-time rumors that our heroes are on the ropes.

Daigo’s Dark Forces Are Expanding
It’s official – Daigo is no longer just “coming.” He’s here. His stronghold at Demon’s Domain is now surrounded by obsidian-black spires that look straight out of a final boss fight. If you’re getting mid-season finale vibes, you’re not wrong.
There are also new quests letting players construct a memorial to the fallen heroes of Supernova Academy, putting players directly inside the unfolding narrative of Chapter 6’s epic showdown between light and darkness.
Boon Bonanza Shakes Up Blitz Royale
We’ve officially entered the Boon Bonanza phase of Blitz Royale. Classic augments are gone, and boons have stepped in with more unpredictable gameplay. Here’s what’s live right now:
- Icy Slide – Adds ice to your feet when sliding, because Fortnite physics.
- Sprint Jump – Launches bigger jumps, similar to Soaring Sprints.
- Zero Chance – Trigger short dashes after popping an enemy shield. Aggro mains, this one’s for you.

Map Secrets, Hidden Clues, and OG Mode Evolves
