According to the latest leak, Chapter 4 Season 5 of Fortnite will feature a return of Chapter 1 maps. The leaker claims that numerous Chapter 1 seasons will recur in the game due to a “time corruption” that will happen throughout the season.

This hypothesis is supported by artifacts from Chapter 1 Season 5 that have recently appeared on the current Fortnite island in Frenzy Fields. These include signs for the Dusty Diner, Truck ‘N’ Oasis, and Durr Burger which Kado Thorne’s time machine brought to the island. The most recent patch, version 26.30, which also introduced Fortnitemares 2023 and a Time Machine to the island, revealed the leaks, which furthered the rumor.
