A new Fortnite leak has revealed the next map change, or at least a map coming in the near future. The leak comes the way of HypeX, a prominent Fortnite leaker and insider. The map change involves the Temple POI between Rocky Reels and The Joneses, a location Epic Games already confirmed is going to change with the game’s next update on July 5. At the time, Epic Games didn’t say what was going to take the place of the location, and this hasn’t changed. That said, the aforementioned leaker, HypeX, has spilled the beans on its behalf.

Unfortunately, this leak isn’t accompanied by any media of this new location. In other words, we have no clue what the area is going to look like, but we can imagine it somewhat because in the files it’s called “the tower.” So, obviously, there’s going to be some type of tower, which means a location with lots of verticality. In other words, it may be useful for area scouting and a favorite among snipers.

UPCOMING MAP CHANGE!

As always, take everything here with a grain of salt. This is a leak. That said, it’s a datamining leak, which means the unofficial information above comes straight from the files of the game. In other words, something called “the tower” exists in the game, but that’s all we can confirm. As for Epic Games, it has not acknowledged or addressed this leak in any capacity. It rarely comments on leaks so we don’t expect this to change, but if it does, we will be sure to update the story accordingly.
