Fortnite Chapter 5 Leak : New Map 'Helios' Revealed

Fortnite enthusiasts are excited about the early leaks regarding the Chapter 5 map, which have surfaced just days into the new season. Players have discovered a 'HELIOS_TERRAIN' reference in the game files, suggesting a potential name for the new map.

The Leak

Although the leaked map lacks specific landmarks or POIs, it seems to be an early version. Referred to as 'Phase 2: Chapter 1-Season 1,' this finding raises questions about Fortnite's strategy for introducing a new 'phase' with each chapter, potentially justifying the creation of a new map.

Comparisons

Fans have discovered that Helios looks a lot like the map from season 2.

Some fans have observed similarities between Helios and a map from a previous Season 2, going as far as creating overlays to highlight these resemblances.

Helios appears to combine elements from various biomes across previous Chapters: combining dark green forest biome, from Chapter 1, lighter green biome from Chapter 2, the snowy mountains biome and the sanctuary jungle tropical biome grass from Chapter 3 and the dark green biome of Chapter 4.

Community Speculation

Enthusiasts are discussing the similarities between the two maps and considering the possible implications for future 'phases'.

Some players are concerned about a potential rebranding, considering the sudden shift from Chapter 5 to Chapter 1 for the new map.

Not Final Yet

It's important to note that the leaked map may not be the final version, and the Fortnite team might still be refining it. Time will tell the true nature of Helios.
