There’s been more evidence in-game that the upcoming season of Fortnite could see the battle royale wind back the clock, as some familiar landmarks have returned to the game’s map.
As spotted by the Twitter account Fortnite News & Leaks, a number of classic items from the game’s Chapter 1 map have now appeared on Frenzy Fields, including the giant Durrr Burger, the Dusty Diner sign and the giant statue that formerly sat outside of Uncle Pete’s Pizza Pit. Crucially, alongside these famous landmarks is the Time Machine, which has been a key part of the ongoing Fortnitemares 2023 storyline.
Naturally, the items have only fuelled the ongoing speculation that Fortnite’s next major chapter update may see the Battle Royale return to Chapter 1, as the latest in a number of hints that’ll be the case. Earlier this year, a number of reputable leakers and dataminers claimed to have found evidence that seemed to point towards classic content, and Epic themselves even slipping in a sneaky Chapter 1 Season 5 reference in a recent social media post.
Fans are, as expected, quite excited for the return, with responses to FBRFeed’s tweet including those hoping for the return of such POIs as Dusty Diner, Tomato Town and others. It’s also easy to forget that Fortnite has now been going for six years, meaning there’s even a contingent of fans who didn’t start playing until some time after Chapter 1. We’ll have to wait and see if these plans and teases come to something concrete in the next few weeks.
In the meantime, Fortnite has just got an official playable ‘Alan Wake Flashback’ experience while players feel like they’ve sussed when Michael Myers will arrive on the Fortnite island as the game continues its Fortnitemares celebrations for 2023.
