A recent 4chan user has posted what they claim to be legitimate details concerning the transition from Fortnite Battle Royale season 5 to season 6, as well as themes and map changes associated with the upcoming season. Of course, this is a tinfoil hat territory and best taken with a healthy grain of salt, but it does build off of current Fortnite rumors and events in a number of ways. In fact, that's where the entirety of its credibility lives and dies.

According to this leak, the Enforcers can't live on the battle island and sent the cube to change its atmosphere. The anti-gravity wells created by the cube mimic their own planet's atmosphere. Building off the rumored destination of Loot Lake, the leaker goes on to say that the cube will absorb the water to make the affected areas grow in size, with Season 5 ending with Loot Lake drained and the domes twice as large. In a way, this seems to be the most reliable aspect of this leak, as items have begun mysteriously appearing in the area.

The season 6 trailer will apparently show characters walking up to the cube but getting thrown by its power. However, the season 5 character Drift walks up to the cube and isn't thrown back by the lightning. The cube keeps striking him until it eventually explores, and the 4chan user even posted an image of the cube exploding:

The user has also promised a number of season 6 map changes:

  • Loot Lake will have a black hole from the Cube explosion. It will act as a "portal to the Dark World." Throughout season 6, the Enforcers will build a futuristic city in the drained lake.
  • Lonely Lodge becomes damaged and is turned into a tourist attraction complete with canoes, caves, and a river.
  • More restaurants with their own Mascots (such as the Bass in Tilted Towers) will open throughout the season, with Durr Burger expanding.
  • Apparently, the Wailing Woods bunker will also open, be turned into a chicken restaurant, and eventually become an amusement park, once again building off the previously established rumor of Crazy Castle.

Map skins would be based on Dark World versions of current skins, as well as the above themes: more mascots, tourists, and futuristic skins. The last thing discussed by the leaker was the creation of crystals from the explosion. Players who interact with a crystal or go through the black hole in Loot Lake enter the Dark World. In it, players cannot see other players or interact, meaning it's potentially a safe travel across the battle island, though that's simply speculation.

Of course, even though the user claims to have a solid leak, this seems more like speculation based off of already existing information. Regardless, week 9 of Season 5 is well underway, meaning players will know sooner rather than later. Tell us, Ranters, what do you think of these season 6 details?
