The Fortnite map has gone through numerous changes over the past six and a half years. Not only has every chapter received new islands, but each season has also had many changes. This won’t stop anytime soon, as it’s proven to be a recipe for success. Due to this, it’s no surprise that the upcoming collaboration will bring many map changes.

As many players are already aware, Epic Games will soon bring the Fortnite x Pirates of the Caribbean collaboration. According to leaks, this partnership will bring a lot of new content, from new items to the Jack Sparrow skin. Furthermore, a recent leak showed big map changes that will arrive with the collab, making players even more excited about it.

The Pirates of the Caribbean collaboration is set to arrive on July 19. According to X (formerly Twitter) user FNBRNewsJP, it will bring many map changes, including a new location called Shipwreck Shallows. The leaker posted a video on their X account, revealing many other details and showing these changes in the game.

FNBRNewsJP claims that the collab will also bring the Black Pearl, Jack Sparrow’s ship. It will be located in the middle of the salt lake, which has recently gone through a couple of changes.

The Fortnite leaker also showed Pirate Cannons over the island. These were first added with Chapter 1 Season 8, which was a pirate-themed season and will return in just a few more weeks.

On the same date, we will also get a few other Pirates of the Caribbean skins. While we’re waiting for the new Fortnite collaboration and all the map changes it will come, make sure to unlock free skins. You can also unlock a free car for a limited time, so don’t miss it!
