Summary

  • Epic Games may bring back old maps to Fortnite Reload, possibly including fan-favorites from Chapters 2-5.
  • To cater to nostalgia, developers are considering urban locations, jungle biomes, and old maps for the Reload mode.
  • Fans are excited about the return of the Jungle Biome, hopeful for a revamped version that suits the Reload mode.

A new leak suggests that Epic Games is considering bringing some more old maps to Fortnite's popular Reload mode, including some fan-favorite ones from Chapters 2-5, which might feature areas such as Jungle Biome and other urban locations. Epic Games' formula of bringing back old maps to Fortnite has turned out to be quite successful so far, and it seems like it will be extended to other game modes, as well.

It's been an eventful year for Fortnite fans, with tons of exciting events taking place in the game. Fortnite featured blockbuster artists such as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Juice WRLD in its concerts in 2024, which was an absolute treat for fans. With the start of a new year, fans are wondering what else will be coming to Fortnite, and it seems like the developers might give fans a trip down memory lane.

Fortnite Fans Really Want the Old Locker Back

Fortnite fans reminisce about the old locker UI that functioned differently from the current interface in Chapter 6 Season 1.

A new survey, spotted by Twitter user 0xPaarth, gives fans an insight into Epic Games' upcoming plans pertaining to Fortnite's Reload mode. Apparently, the developers are potentially considering bringing back several old maps to Fortnite Reload. For now, these seem to focus on maps that are featured in Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Apart from that, there were some specific themes also allegedly mentioned, such as urban locations, jungle areas, and the Chapter 2 Season 2 map.

Fortnite Fans Excited About Jungle Biome's Potential Return in Reload

Fans seem to be excited about the potential return of the Jungle Biome from Chapter 4 Season 3. While the map itself back then was quite divisive in the community, many agree that it has some of the best terrain in Fortnite maps ever. Not to forget, players were also huge fans of the urban areas on the map. However, the Jungle area turned out to be quite controversial, as it was not only technically demanding for PC players, leading to performance issues, but many found it difficult to traverse and repetitive. However, fans think that for Fortnite Reload, the Jungle area could be revamped into something that could potentially fit pretty well for the nature of the game mode.

So far, Epic Games hasn't revealed any information about which one of these maps could potentially come to Fortnite. It should also be noted that since this information essentially stems from a survey, it is very much possible that none of these get honored altogether. However, considering the success Epic Games has had with bringing back old maps as part of Fortnite OG, it is very likely that some maps may return in the near future.
