Chapter 6: Leaks about the map and battle pass

Are there any leaks about the new map? No, there is currently no information about how Epic Games designed the upcoming map in Chapter 6. However, some leakers think they know what theme Season 1 could be based on.

What is known about Season 1? Many things in Fortnite’s current data point to a Japanese season (via x.com). This primarily includes new furniture. In addition, you can look forward to the following things if the leakers are right:

  • Traditional Japanese theme
  • Brings Back Fortnite OG (Separate Mode)
  • Redesigned medallion feature
  • Lying & swinging mechanics for locomotion
  • New cats (sprites) that follow you
  • Winterfest update on December 10th
  • Chapter 6 Update removes stars for the Battle Pass
  • Quad launcher returns
  • New “Void” feature leaked
  • Industrial City POI
  • According to Shiina, Season 1 will end on February 21st (via x.com). Please note that these are still rumors at the moment and Epic Games has not confirmed anything yet. Most of the time, however, the leakers are right. Especially established ones like Shiina or Hypex.

    Is there any information about the new Battle Pass? No, neither leakers nor official sources have revealed anything here either. But it is quite possible that Epic Games will distribute Samurai as skins. With Chapter 4 Season 2, the developers have already shown that they can represent the Japanese swordsmen in a modern way.

    Live Event Information: End of Chapter 5

    When does the live event start? According to Epic Games’ blog post, the live event will take place on November 30th at 8:00 p.m. German time. Depending on the time zone, the live event could then be repeated again if there are no technical complications.

    According to Shiina (via x.com), a trusted Fortnite leaker, maintenance will start on December 1st at 4:00 a.m. German time to install the Chapter 6 update. At this time no more matches are possible.

    Will there be rewards? Yes, it will. All players who log in between November 25th at 3:00 p.m. and December 1st at 4:00 a.m. will receive the outfit the day after they log in.
