Epic Games has revealed the new Fortnite Season 5 map, along with a host of new POIs (Points of Interest).
Update 15.0 can be downloaded now for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Android.
Once the game is back online, players will notice a new area or two to explore.
The largest and most prominent new area is Zero Point, which is littered with crystal shards.
“New hunters mean new locations beyond the Loop,” says an Epic post.
“Fight for honor in an ancient arena, hone your jungle survival skills, and explore the shifting crystalline sands that flow from exposed Ground Zero.”
As you can see from the images below (the full map can be found at the bottom of the page), the Zero Point area is also home to the Colossal Coliseum, which is a new gladiator arena where players can fight.
Don’t be surprised if this becomes a popular drop point for players looking to get quick kills when games start.
Elsewhere, fans can explore the new Desert Pancakes area, which has a Wild West look and feel.
Fans can also see the new Hunter’s Haven POI, although at first glance it doesn’t seem all that exciting.
In the northern area of the map is Stealthy Stronghold, which is likely the jungle location mentioned by Epic Games.
Then there’s the Salty Towers POI, which can be found on the edge of the Zero Point area.
Pleasant Park has also returned to its former glory, after being taken over by Doctor Doom.
Other returning areas include Coral Castle, Craggy Cliffs, Sweaty Sands, Holly Hedges, and Weeping Woods,
That’s on top of Slurpy Swamp, Misty Meadows, Lazy Lake, Catty Corner, Retail Row, Dirty Docks, and Steamy Stacks.
You can see the full map of season 5 below. Expect the map to change and evolve as the season progresses.
As part of the new season, Battle Pass owners will be able to unlock skins, including The Mandalorian from Star Wars.
“Agent Jones has brought the greatest Reality Hunters to the Island,” the official description reads.
“Pick up the Season 5 Battle Pass and unlock Mancake the fighting Flapjack, Mave the shapeshifter, and the ultimate bounty hunter, The Mandalorian, with his partner The Child.”
As previously reported, the new season also coincides with the launch of the Fortnite Crew subscription service.
Priced at £ 9.99 a month, Fortnite Crew subscribers will always have access to the current Battle Pass, as well as exclusive rewards.
