The Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 map has had its key features announced ahead of the update. What are all of the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 POIs we’ll see?
This Summer Fortnite season is about to come to an end. It’s been a bit of a controversial one, so Epic is rolling out all the stops to promote the next season. Another crossover with Marvel is coming for our final Chapter 5 period.
It won’t just be a skin or two though. It’s an entire takeover of the game! Including the Fortnite Marvel POIs making a return. Epic has already announced a decent number of these new spots on the map that are showing up.
While the Reload Map is centered on core Fortnite gameplay and the classic POIs, this takeover is going to re-make a good portion of the Chapter 5 map. There’s going to be a number of new Fortnite Marvel POIs. What’s arriving this season?
All New Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Map POIs
So far, we’ve had confirmation of three new POIs coming for the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 map! These are all pulled from different Marvel franchises, just like the new skins in the Battle Pass.
These are the main three new Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 POIs:
Doom’s Domain (Or Castle)
Doom is the center point of the new Fortnite season, taking over the primary villain role in the game. Just like the older Fortnite season featuring the character, we’ll see a POI dedicated to this character in Doom’s Domain.
This looks like it’ll be a bit more elaborate than the one we saw in Chapter 2. Doom’s home will likely be home to him as a boss character, probably with a mythic item similar to what he had in that last season.
As one of the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 POIs that will likely feature a new boss, this will probably be a hot drop for the first few weeks at least. However, more details in the POI like NPCs might only arrive once the bonus skin releases mid-season.
Latvaria – Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Map
While the Battle Pass has quite a few Heroes, this is another Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 POI focused on Doom. The Latvarian Lair feels like a Marvel version of the Anvil Square Chapter 4 POI! But now with full Fortnite Marvel POI branding.
Latvaria is a country in Marvel franchises with no parallel in the real world. It’s typically associated with Doctor Doom so bringing it in along with the new skin makes sense. As spots like Classy Courts and Lavish were looking a bit worn out, this will be a fun POI that’s both themed and fits the “neighborhood” layout of a few classic Fortnite landing spots.
The Raft Prison – New Fortnite Marvel POIs
The last of the new Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 POIs is the Raft. This is the prison that homes Marvel villains in franchises. It’s previously appeared in games like the PlayStation Spider-Man games too.
The Raft is a villain in the middle of the water. Water-based POIs are often fun additions and they’ve been missing from the recent season of Fortnite so this will be an interesting addition to the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 map.
This POI is particularly interesting too for its unique place in the world of Fortnite. Very little of the Fortnite world is based on reality, but the Raft is a fictionalized version of the real Riker’s Island New York island-based prison. This makes it one of the first Fortnite POIs based on something in reality.
What’s Getting Replaced With the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 POIs?
New POIs are great, but it always means we’re losing something too. New arrivals mean older POIs get cycled out to make room. Thankfully, there’s a better approach to this in Chapter 5.
For the last few Chapters, Epic has taken an approach of only replacing the oldest POIs with new ones. The biomes added in more recent seasons tend to stick around, with just the season 1 POIs getting cycled out. While fun a lot of these spots were pretty sleepy at this point, very few players still head to Lavish Lair after all.
There are three POIs that will be removed from the game to make room for the Fortnite Marvel POIs. Classy Courts and its surrounding area is going for a start.
This has been home to a mythic weapon recently. Not one of the best Fortnite weapons, but still better than general loot. Other than that, it’s one of the most deserted POIs. Pretty much always empty. Nice quiet drop, but there’s not much happening here. It probably won’t be missed on the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Map
Then there’s Lavish Lair. Another spot that flourished in early seasons but now just feels weirdly empty. Pleasant Piazza also looks set to be changed, but this might just end up being a bit more cramped with the Raft getting added into the water encroaching on Pleasant Piazza.
If these were your main drops, this might be a bit disappointing to you! However, these new POIs should make up for the loss.
Fortnite Marvel POIs
That’s how things are changing for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 map. We won’t know exactly if it’s an up or downgrade until we actually jump into play though. Marvel POIs will likely offer a few specific pluses in the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 POIs though.
The first is where the bosses will be with their mythic weapons. In the past, Marvel POIs were home to some pretty impressive items like Spider-Man web-slingers. Hopefully, our new batch will be just as exciting once the new season begins.
