Latest leaks surrounding the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 map

The most exciting leak surrounding Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 is about what some parts of the map are going to look like. Previously, several rumors pointed at the fact that the map for the next Chapter can be inspired by Australia and New Zealand.

A new leak by HYPEX somewhat confirms that the Fortnite map in Chapter 3 Season 1 is going to have tropical-themed POIs. Not only will the island have beaches, palm trees, pools, and floaties, but it will also have seagulls flying around.

Following the release of Crows in Chapter 2 Season 8, players will now see seagulls come in as the next flying animal. According to HYPEX, these birds appear in concept arts near the beach area, which confirms that such a POI will exist on the map in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1.


Epic Games might shift to Unreal Engine 5 for Fortnite Chapter 3

Another major transition that Fortnite players will have to go through from Chapter 2 Season 8, to Chapter 3 would be the shift to Unreal Engine 5. This would make a lot of things possible in the next Fortnite Chapter, such as the previously teased open-world game mode.

Edmire2K, the person who leaked one of the first concept maps for Fortnite Chapter 3, confirmed that Unreal Engine 5 would not affect performance on old-gen consoles. This is only the tip of the iceberg of everything there is to come in the next Chapter. Clearly, fans are in for a wonderful ride.
