New leaks surrounding Fortnite’s upcoming Chapter 7 point toward the biggest map overhaul the battle royale has attempted. Dataminers found region tags like “West Coast Hwy”, “Bayou Sector” and “Metro Core”, suggesting Epic Games may introduce a USA-inspired continental layout rather than the traditional compact island.
Leaked Map Details
- West Coast region — film studios, desert highways, coastal POIs
- Central plains — farming towns, interstate connections, long-range traversal
- Metro Core — dense urban district with high-rises and street-level combat
- New transport — vehicle classes and possible rails/fast-travel routes
Creators who received early teasers reported a map fragment labelled “Sector U.S.A.” and build strings referencing “districts,” “routes,” and “zones” rather than single POIs — language more commonly associated with open-world design.
Why This Matters
- A scale shift toward long-distance gameplay and multi-mode support (sandbox, PvE, story events).
- Potential for GTA-style missions, social hubs, and persistent world features like garages and shops.
- Competitive and casual play could diverge — larger rotation strategies and vehicle meta may dominate.
Note: These details are from leaks and datamines; Epic Games has not confirmed a USA-style map for Chapter 7.
