The torturous wait for an official announcement of Grand Theft Auto 6, and it’s anyone’s guess just how much longer it’ll drag on, and with Rockstar seemingly being in no mood to share details on the long-awaited open world title just yet, fans are continuing to look at alternative sources that might give an indication of what to expect from the game.
When is the old Fortnite map coming back? New rumours explained
18.10.2023 - 09:43 / radiotimes.com / New
Fortnite is always ever-changing. It seems you can't go a day without something happening in the battle royale, be that a new battle pass, the addition of different character skins or even the return of the old fan-favourite Fortnite map.
New reports have begun storming the web in recent days, suggesting that the original Fortnite map from Chapter 1 may be making an unexpected comeback.
Naturally, as the biggest game in the world, Fortnite constantly has to grapple with rumpus – earlier this month one rumour surrounded Fortnite shutting down for good. So what's different about this one?
This particular Fortnite rumour has been gaining traction as the week has gone on, hence why we're here to address it directly. Head below for all the latest details:
At the time of writing, Epic Games has made no official announcement regarding the return of the old Fortnite map. The rumour started on 10 October 2023 when Epic posted an image of villain Kaido Thorn standing in front of a time travel machine.
Just above the machine is a display with the date «2018 07 12» – this is the first day that Chapter 1 Season 5 of Fortnite rolled out under the name «Worlds Collide». Could history be repeating itself?
Rumours then intensified when known leaker Hypex shared (via X, formerly Twitter) that a «reliable source» claimed Chapter 1 would return in Season 5 as a result of the time machine breaking. It would then cycle through the various seasons for a month, with different weapons from the early days of Fortnite coming back too.

As Epic Games has not announced the return of the old Fortnite map, no official date has been revealed.
That said, we'd guess that the old Fortnite map may return in the next update on 3rd November 2023. All of the leaks point to it being included as part of Chapter 4 Season 5 so this would be considered in early November. It would also be the same date that the Fortnitemares event ends, ushering in whatever is next.
We should hopefully find out more in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for more Fortnite news.

Relive The Events Of Alan Wake In New Alan Wake: Flashback Fortnite Experience
Remedy Entertainment is releasing Alan Wake 2 next week, on October 27, and while there's still time to replay (or play for the first time) Alan Wake before its sequel is out, October is a stacked month, and time might not be on your side. Alan Wake: Flashback might help, though, as it's a new Unreal Editor for Fortnite experience that gives players the chance to relive the mysteries and events of the first Alan Wake, albeit presumably in a much shorter and more streamlined fashion.
