This week’s big live event changed Fortnite forever – and now the game’s new season has kicked off with a heavily waterlogged map.
A large portion of Fortnite’s island is now submerged, many of last season’s new locations have been washed away, and fresh areas are open to explore.
Overall, Chapter 2 Season 3 has a Waterworld-like theme, with its scene-setting trailer showing off a floating shanty town of survivors. Oh, and also Jason Momoa.
New locations include The Authority, a new central fortress to replace the Agency, and Catty Corner in the bottom right of the map. Slurpy Swamp and The Rig have been replaced by the Westworld-looking Fortilla and Rickety Rig shantytown.
This season adds sharks you can hitch a ride on, and its trailer shows regular cars and trucks are coming – when the water subsides. It’s expected that this is the full extent of the flood, and that the map will change week by week as the water level slowly drops.
