Fornite might get a new map all about Party Royales instead of Victory RoyalesNo chicken dinners here

No chicken dinners here

As they’re wont to do, like kids sneaking peeks in their holiday presents, some regularFortnitedataminers have gone snooping through the game files in today’s 12.5 update looking for clues to Fortnite’s future.

They’ve unwrapped what might be a big one: something that appears to be a new, smaller map for Fortnite all about partying and minigaming with friends rather than fighting for victory royales. According to the data leakers, a new map called “Papaya” will have obstacle courses, fishing, and skydiving with friends among other activities.

Epic sure have been doing a lot of experimenting with Fortnite as a live space already, what with last week’sTravis Scott concert, theMarshmellow concertlast year, and thatStar Wars eventfor Rise of Skywalker.

Ah, well now I’m just poking holes in the fun. Have a gander at the maybe new map, it could be a fun way to hang with friends without the pressure to constantly be building and shooting.

As for what’s actually in game today, Epic have addedOperation: Payload modefor the spy games of Season 2, anOverwatch-like mode where you’re either escorting or stopping a vehicle.
