A prominent leaker has taken to social media to share new images of Fortnite‘s upcoming Chapter 6 Season 1 map. The battle royale recently brought Chapter 5 to a close with a Marvel-themed season. This was the game’s second season-wide collaboration with Marvel and took place in the wake of Disney investing 1.5 billion dollars in an equity stake of Epic Games. As the partnership between Disney and Epic Games has deepened, many fans have been eager to see what’s on the horizon for Fortnite. It has been nearly one year since the game expanded its presence by introducing new modes like Fortnite Festival, LEGO Fortnite, and Rocket Racing.
Fortnite will soon end its latest season, Chapter 2 Remix. The short throwback season featured the return of an old map, a mini-battle pass, unvaulted weapons, and even the game’s forgotten shakedown mechanic. While many returning elements were familiar to players, old locations were remixed to incorporate new collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Ice Spice, Eminem, and Juice WRLD. Players have even been able to earn free Juice WRLD cosmetics in Fortnite for a limited time. The season has been a celebration of the game’s past while fans eagerly await the release of Chapter 6 Season 1 in December.
