As the tales of Greek mythology descend upon the Fortnite island in Chapter Five, season two, a slew of fresh legendary locations are getting ushered in.
While a complete map overhaul may not be in the cards, some areas have been revamped to accommodate the Greek deities and their accompanying styles in the battle pass. Here’s a rundown of every new POI you can visit in Fortnite Chapter Five, season two:
Fortnite Chapter 5 season 2 map
The new Fortnite map in all its glory. As you can see, the map includes several new locations to check out in Chapter Five, season two. Mount Olympus stands out, but there’s also the Grim Gate, The Underworld, and Brawler’s Battleground. These new locations should open up some exciting new content.
Every new POI in Fortnite Chapter 5 season 2
Mount Olympus
Zeus’ humble abode, Mount Olympus, now stands in the southeast corner of the map, where the snow-covered Hazy Hillside once was. According to Epic, “you’ll always feel like you’re being watched” here, and with the introduction of new weapons in Fortnite Chapter Five, season two, perhaps a sniper is lurking nearby.
Grim Gate
The serene Italian beaches of Ritzy Riviera have been seized by none other than Cerberus, who now guards Hades’ lair at the Grim Gate. This new location in Fortnite Chapter Five, season two is shrouded in the eerie green waters of the Underworld, with gondolas brimming with loot luring you in.
The Underworld
If you manage to get past Hades’ hound, you’ll gain entrance to the Underworld, a city nearly drained and littered with wrecked gondolas. Will we encounter the ruler of the Underworld himself within its shadowy depths?
Brawler’s Battleground
Mount Olympus isn’t the only POI gracing Fortnite Chapter Five, season two map’s southeast. Ares expects you to put up a good fight in the Brawler’s Battleground, a POI that resembles Ruined Reels. This time around, Epic Games has taken steps to ensure campers can’t rank up to Unreal by hiding in locations like these.
All map changes in Fortnite Chapter 5 season 2
Besides the four new POIs, Fortnite also introduces a few minor changes and removes a couple of locations in Chapter Five, season two:
- Hazy Hillside was replaced by Mount Olympus and Brawler’s Battleground.
- Ritzy Riviera is completely gone. Instead, you can find Grim Gate and The Underworld.
- Rebel’s Roost, Lavish Lair, and Class Courts’ snow has melted. The only snowy place seems to be Grand Glacier.
- Ruined Reels’ name has been changed to Restored Reels, which suggests the place won’t have rundown buildings and a DJ booth anymore. Perhaps it’s been restored to its former, Ancient Greek glory?
