Changes to the map

New seasons in Fortnite mean events that bring changes to the map. Season 3 will be no different, with changes and events coming to the Battle Royale’s map.

Dataminers looking through the game files found information about map changes. Season 3 is set to include a new biome, based on a desert or a jungle theme. This will include new environmental objects, such as palm trees, mud, and cacti. It is in line with leaks about a tropical biome coming to the game. There are also rumors of a volcanic area coming to the game.

Apart from this, methods of moving around in-game may change. Grind rails seen in-game will most likely change to wood wines. Given the speculation about a jungle environment, it certainly fits with the overall theme.

Lastly, as summer rolls around, Fortnite looks like it will bring back its summer events. The 14 Days of Summer events: “Propping” & “Mural” will be a part of season 3.

When looking through game files, dataminers discovered the Raptors rideable in the next season. As fans of the game may know, players can ride the wildlife in the game.
