Fortnite Season 7 saw the Battle Royale island go from a "primal" era to being inundated with savvy space-tech including innumerable UFOs and weapons from the future.

While the swing between the two distant timelines may have been a bit too much during the start of the season, the community seems content with the ‘Invasion’ that befell the island as of now.

Although there has been discontent with Fortnite Season 7 due to no new POIS in the "Map Change" section, fans have appreciated the massive adjustments to the weapons roster, in-game mechanics and addition of UFOs.

Now, however, various Fortnite Season 7 leaks are pointing towards major changes to multiple areas of the map, with one of them being the dreaded Coral Castle.


Fortnite Season 7 Leaks: This could be the end-of-line for Coral Castle

A few hours ago, a renowned Fortnite data-miner HYPEX tweeted out a list of map changes that are inbound, likely with the next update (v17.20).

HYPEX outlines three POIs that will soon be taken over by Alien Parasites, a new breed on the Fortnite island that sticks onto your head and slowly sucks up players’ health while also gaining a speed & jump boost.

The following locations are set to be infested:

  • Lazy Lake
  • Weeping Woods
  • Holly Hedges

Additionally, Coral Castle, which is now clearly one of the least visited POIs on the map, is expected to be "abducted" inside the giant mothership that hovers above the Fortnite island.

Earlier this month, HYPEX also tweeted out an image that shows what Coral Castle would look like after it gets destroyed.

As the monstrous vessel ‘abducts’ Coral Castle off its spot, it is expected to level a Dusty-depot styled crater in the ground which would then be home to IO. The latter have existed on the island since the start of Fortnite Season 7 whilst trying to find a way to communicate with the other-worldly beings.

The Fortnite leak via HYPEX also suggests that Kymera, in his NPC form, will scout the crater and will sell the ‘Exotic Burst Pulse Rifle’ for gold.
