Fortnite Chapter 6 map: Theme, POIs & features leaked

Fortnite Chapter 6 is set to bring a brand-new map for players to explore, packed with new POIs to land at and a fresh theme. Luckily, leaks have already revealed much of what the new era will have in store.

One of the reasons that Fortnite has managed to stay popular over all these years is its ability to reinvent itself. Whether it’s a season packed with Marvel heroes or a throwback to a previous version of the game, each update completely transforms it.

This is partly down to the facelift that the map gets each time, and another overhaul is coming with the new chapter on November 30. So, here’s everything we know about the Fortnite Chapter 6 map so far.

Fortnite Chapter 6 map theme

Fortnite Chapter 6 will be inspired by samurai and Japanese culture, as confirmed by Epic Games themselves in a series of teasers. This will take over both the map and the Battle Pass, which is full of themed skins, including Baymax and Godzilla.

According to a report from known dataminers ‘Wensoing’ and Loolo_WRLD’, the new-look island will be broken into five different biomes, which are as follows:

• Shrine
• Rivers
• Plains
• Farmlands
• Forest

This wouldn’t be the first time that Fortnite has taken influence from Japan. Chapter 4 Season 2’s biggest POI was MEGA City, a futuristic version of Tokyo, which also gave way to crossovers with anime franchises like Attack on Titan.

Based on the leaks that Demon Slayer is set to arrive in-game during Chapter 6, it appears that Epic Games are revisiting this part of the world, but this time taking a more traditional approach.

Leaked POIs

New promo art shared by FNAssist for Fortnite Chapter 6 reveals six new points of interest, which includes

• A large city
• Tanuki Twinkle Town
• A purple forest
• An autumn temple battleground
• City suspension bridge
• A turtle forest

Demon Arena

One of the biggest leaked locations from the Fortnite Chapter 6 map so far is the Demon Arena. According to datamined information, this POI will give players the chance to battle against NPCs in exchange for loot during matches.

It isn’t clear exactly whereabouts on the map the Demon Arena will be, or how the reward system will work just yet. Either way, it could be the perfect landing spot if you want to gain an advantage over the rest of the lobby.

Industrial Town

The second POI reportedly set to feature on the map is an ‘Industrial Town,’ although it’s unlikely that it will keep that name given that Fortnite usually likes to use alliteration, as seen by areas like Tilted Towers or Steamy Stacks.

This was seemingly confirmed when dataminers uncovered audio files that appeared to be the background noise that players will hear upon arrival.

Leaked map features

Fortnite is constantly adding new features, and Wensoing has revealed that the Chapter 6 map will change slightly depending on the time of day.

The game has featured a day/night cycle for many years, but this has never had any impact on what you might encounter on the island. However, once the update goes live, different animals and NPCs will reportedly appear at night before disappearing in the day.

So, if there’s a certain item or character you need to interact with, you might need to wait for some time to pass before they become available.

Of course, it’s worth keeping in mind that this is all based on leaks and nothing has been officially confirmed by Epic Games just yet. We’ll be sure to update this page with a full breakdown of the Chapter 6 map and its POIs once it’s revealed.

In the meantime, you can still get the free Juice WRLD skin ahead of The Finale live event due to close Chapter 2 Remix.
