Today is a big day for theFortnitebattle royale. Later today,FortniteChapter 2 will come to an end and will be replaced by Chapter 3, and while fans will have to wait for the event to happen at 4pm ET, leaks have given everyone a pretty good idea of what to expect. It seems as though theFortnitebattle royale map is getting flipped over, and on the other side is a brand new battle royale arena for players to fight over.
The latestFortniteChapter 3 leakfocuses on the new Battle Pass as well as other content that’s coming to the battle royale with the new season. It seemsFortniteChapter 3 is adding Spider-Man and various alternate costumes for Spider-Man to the game, which makes sense asSpider-Man: No Way Homeis releasing in theaters soon and there’s been collaborations between the BR and the MCU for years. The Spider-Man influence will be seen elsewhere as well, withFortniteplayers able to visit the Daily Bugle and even web-swing.

Spider-Man isn’t the only crossover character coming toFortniteChapter 3 with the new map. It’s also been confirmed by the leaked Battle Pass trailer that aGears of Warcrossover is happening, with Kait Diaz and Marcus Fenix joiningFortnite’s ever-growing and increasingly impressive roster of characters. TheGears of Warcrossover may be especially interesting to fans when one considers thatFortnitedeveloper Epic Games was the original developer of theGears of Warfranchise before Microsoft bought it and handed it over to The Coalition.
Something elseFortniteplayers may notice in the trailer is the inclusion of The Foundation.The Foundation is an important character inFortnitelore, and is rumored to be voiced by none other than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. It seemsFortnitefans will learn more about The Foundation in Chapter 3, and perhaps official confirmation of The Rock’s involvement could be coming, too.
Besides revealing newFortnitecharacter skins, the Chapter 3 trailer also highlights some of the new gameplay mechanics that fans can expect when Chapter 3 goes live. It seems leaks aboutFortniteadding a sliding mechanic are true, as it’s clearly shown off multiple times in the leaked trailer. Not only that, but players are now able to stash away items in portable tents that they can then usein future games. The example in the trailer shows aFortniteplayer throwing down their stash, grabbing a Legendary-tier hunting rifle, and then using it to kill an opposing player with a headshot.
An official Battle Pass trailer and more on the Chapter 3 map should come to light later today after theFortniteChapter 2 end eventtakes place at 4pm ET.
Fortniteis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
