Fortnite, developed by Epic Games, came on to the scene initially as a co-op survival game. However, it truly took off with the release of its free Battle Royale mode, where 100 players fought to be the last one standing on a vibrant island. The original map, known as "Battle Royale Island," became iconic, with locations like Tilted Towers and Loot Lake etching themselves into gaming history.

That iconic map from Chapter 1 might be coming back soon, so get ready to indulge your nostalgic side!

But that's not all. In fact, some Fortnite creators have already received direct hints from Epic Games. For instance, the creator Salvatretzzo received a CD on the back of which the Chapter 1 Map is depicted.

Hypex also mentions that in Season 5, the tactical sprinting and climbing will be deactivated to bring back the OG-feeling.

Through some leaks and insider information, we know that Season 4 will end on November 3 and Chapter 5 will start in early December. Therefore, many already wondered what could happen in the time in between, but now it all makes sense.
