Fortnite Chapter 3 leaks have begun appearing on social media. However, in keeping with Epic Games' request, the leaks are limited in nature. Nevertheless, they provide an idea of things to come.
While information is scarce, "OG" players will be ecstatic about a few returning in-game POIs. The biggest surprise of all, however, has nothing to do with the new map but rather a preponed timeline.

Epic Games stated that the downtime would last for two days. However, based on the latest information from leakers, Fortnite Chapter 3 will begin on December 5 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
With hotfixes being pushed and updates already live for certain platforms, loopers are in for a surprise. Hopefully, the timeline isn't altered at the last moment.
2) Impostor Mode XP rework
Developers have reverted the XP value for the popular Impostors Mode. Players can use this once more to farm experience points and unlock Battle Pass rewards sooner. Hopefully, the XP won't be nerfed later on.
Furthermore, with the IO bridge being showcased in the end-of-season live event, Impostor Mode is likely to receive an update soon.
3) New map: Landmarks and POIs
Two POIs from Fortnite Chapter 1, Shifty Shafts and Greasy Grove are making a comeback. However, given that these are variants of old "OG" locations, they will be slightly different in design and layout.
The Daily Bugle and the Seven's Sanctuary will also be present on the island. Apart from these landmarks, numerous new POI's will be featured as well.
4) Fortnite Chapter 3 end date
According to the information, Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 is set to end on March 19, 2022 at 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time. However, this date is subject to change upon Epic Games' discretion.
5) New mythics
Two new mythics may arrive in the game at launch - Spider-Man's Web Shooters and the Foundation's Sidearm Pistol. There is already leaked footage of the Web Shooters in action and the Pistol has been showcased during the end-of-season live event.
6) Unreal Engine 5 confirmed
Fortnite Chapter 3 has been confirmed to be using Unreal Engine 5. Players can expect to see a better overall in-game performance. Additionally, creative maps with visually better environments and features, are additional in-game assets that players have to look forward to.
7) Quest system overhaul
The quest system for Fortnite Chapter 3 has been reworked. In addition to milestones and daily quests, Season Quests and Season bonus goals have been added in as well. This will be useful for players who want to complete their Battle Pass at the last moment.
