Recent leaks have revealed what we can expect from map changes in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3. Here is a detailed breakdown!
Details regarding Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 have begun to emerge ahead of the reported June 7 launch. One of the key components of any new season is map changes, which are particularly relevant to the forthcoming update. All traces of Star Wars will soon be a thing of the past, and we now have an idea of what to expect.
This article outlines all the expected adjustments to the map, including which points of interest (POIs) will be removed and what new features will be introduced.
How will the map change in Chapter 6 Season 3?
Unfortunately, Epic Games has yet to share the usual pre-season map assets we have come to expect. However, leakers have reported the new POIs that will effectively replace those in the Galactic Battle season.
Among others, the always reliable HYPEX provided a complete list of map changes to expect in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3. It's worth noting that there's no way of telling which will be POIs and which will be landmarks, but you will notice some returning from before the Star Wars season.
Fortnite C6S3 POIs and Landmarks
- Utopia City
- Whiffy Wharf (replacing Resistance Base)
- Shogun’s Solitude (replacing Vader Samurai's Solitude)
- Supernova Academy
- Demon's Domain & Dojo
- Spire Spike
- Scout Spire
- Overlord Spire
- Demon’s Dojo (replacing First Order Base)
- Hopeful Heights (replacing Outpost Enclave)
The only real adjustments from the outset begin with the replacement of Crime City with Utopia City. This should fit more into the season's "superhero" theme, along with the Supernova Academy location. Apart from those, all four Star Wars POIs will revert to their previous name and appearance.

How could these changes affect the gameplay experience?
Fortnite's seasonal map changes are crucial for determining how a season unfolds. Overall, these adjustments are more significant than most mid-chapter updates. The Star Wars mini-season featured four reimagined POIs that differed from what we can usually expect.
Once June 7 arrives, those four locations, along with the X-wings, TIE fighters, and lightsabers, will cease to exist. That's a significant shift, but with those spots reverting to their previous state, it likely won't be the most drastic change we've seen.
Utopia City and Supernova Academy are the key map changes heading into Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3. Also, the new Spire landmarks may be worth exploring, since Spires in the past have been unique additions to the game.
