Multiple Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 3 leaks indicate some clues about an underwater theme. The transition from the current Fortnite map to a flooded one is one such feature that has caught everyone's attention.

Most Fortnite Season 3 leaks suggest that the flooding of Battle Royale island would occur as a result of mishaps during the Doomsday event.
