Fortnite has introduced its third season and shook up the map by flooding a great deal of it. The flooding of the Fortnite map coincides with an Aquaman crossover event and many players are expecting the water to eventually disappear. While there is no doubt that the map will not stay flooded forever, there are rumors about how the map will transition and what players will be able to do with the water in the future. A leak is now adding to this speculation about the future of the Fortnite map.
The unique events, challenges, and gameplay have made Fortnite a leader in the battle royale genre. With this in mind, it is no wonder that its large fan base is eager to see the plans for how the popular game will change as it will likely tie into future events. While nothing has been confirmed, the leaked photos could mean an exciting chain of events for players.
The Twitter account VastBlast is dedicated to Fortnite leaks and it revealed a series of images that show how the map will change in stages. The map will steadily return to the way it was before the flood but if this is done stages, there will likely be events to accompany the disappearing water. There are also rumors of new abilities coming to players in Fortnite and with this in mind, it will be interesting to see if they occur as more of the map emerges from the water. Equally when areas of land return, many will be keen to see if it has changed since it was submerged.
The introduction of Fortnite Season 3 has changed the map considerably and it seems some changes will be permanent. Sweaty Sands looks to be slightly altered when the water disappears and many will look forward to what is planned for the area. Fans have already noticed this change in the series of images and it seems to be generating the most anticipation. Despite excitement about the changing map, it should be noted that it does not look entirely different from Season 2 and it will be interesting to see how much the scenery is eventually altered to please fans.
It is clear that the developer behind Fortnite, Epic Games, has plenty of ideas of how to keep the title entertaining and this will be a relief to players. There had been concerns that the battle royale title was on the decline, but recent events (such as “The Device”) appear to have renewed interest in the game. If the pieces of land return with new features and events, then Fortnite may be able to continue this interest.
Fortnite is out now for iOS, Android, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
