Every Fortnite Chapter 6 leak so far

Fortnite's Chapter 2 Remix – a month-long season that saw the return of the Chapter 2 map and loot pool – is on its way. The season ends on Saturday at 2pm EST with Remix: The Finale. This in-game event will feature performances from Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Spice and Juice WRLD. As Chapter 2 Remix draws to a close, Fortnite will kick off December with a brand new chapter.

Depending on how long the downtime is after Remix: The Finale, Chapter 6 Season 1 will likely launch on December 1st. Epic Games has kept official information about the new chapter and season to a minimum, but leaks in Fortnite community has already released quite a few details for players to speculate on in the meantime. When it comes to its new map, new game mechanics and new collaborations, Chapter 6 is sure to shake up the game.

What leaks have already revealed about Chapter 6

Chapter 6's map

Much like Chapter 4 Season 2, Chapter 6's first season will be heavily influenced by Japanese culture. However, unlike Chapter 4 Season 2 and its Mega City, the aesthetics of the Chapter 6 Season 1 map will be inspired by feudal Japan and Japanese mythology. So far, only two POIs on the map have been leaked. The first is a demon arena where players will be able to fight NPC enemies to get loot. The other is an “industrial city”. It is unknown if this location will appear in Season 1, but if so, it shows that the new map will not be as monotonous in theme as Chapter 5 Season 1.

While not a full POI, other notable locations on Chapter 6's map have been leaked. According to Wensoing on X, the new map will have a forest biome. This may seem obvious to everyone Fortnite map, but the forest area on Chapter 6's map will not only be purple according to reliable leaker ShinnaBR but will probably have a day/night cycle that will cause new animals and NPCs to spawn in the area depending on the time on the day it is. Speaking of animals, players will be able to find new cat-like creatures at shrines scattered across the map. The creatures will have different elemental types such as wind and water which will likely be visually reflected in the shrines where they are located.

Chapter 6's game mechanics

Each new Fortnite chapters have brought interesting new gameplay mechanics, and chapter 6 will be no different. Two new movement mechanics that should arrive sometime in Chapter 6 are the ability to walk forward and to swing on ropes. Leaker Loolo_WRLD has also indicated that Chapter 4's augmentation system will return, but it is unknown in what capacity.

Chapter 6 Season 1's loot pool looks like it will vary Battle Royale's gameplay in some interesting ways as well. Season specific items such as katanas, kunai and Oni masks have been found in the game's files. Much like the new animals mentioned earlier, the Oni Masks are said to provide players with abilities based on different elemental types. When it comes to new mobility items, Loolo_WRLD recently shared that skates and a hook shot item should be useful sometime next season. The hook shot can function similarly to Chapter 3's grappling gauntlet or Chapter 5's grappling blade.

Chapter 6's collaborations

Leaked key art has already seemingly confirmed the collaboration skin for Next Chapter's first Battle Pass: Baymax from Big Hero 6 and Godzilla. Outside of the combat session, next season will likely provide skins from Demon Slayer to the game. This collaboration should have some kind of connection to the demon arena that is on the map.

Other leaked collaborations include James Cameron's AvatarPixar's Cars, Cyberpunk 2077and a second crossover with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. The Cars collaboration will add vehicle cosmetics based on Lightning McQueen and Mater that can be used in Fortnites Rocket Racing mode. Another one of Fortnites newer mode, Fortnite Festival, will partner with New Jeans. Members of the band will be unlockable in the Festival Pass starting in January.

Chapter 6's new modes

According to leaker Egyptian_Leaker on X, Epic is currently working on nine new game modes for Fortnite. These include new LEGO modes, a new vehicle-based mode, an open-world story mode, an Overwatch-style 5v5 mode, a mini-battle royale, and a new timed mode. It is unknown if all of these modes will debut during Chapter 6 or if they will be saved for later.

While many of the mentioned leaks like ShiinaBR have proven credentials, none of these leaks or rumors have been officially announced by Epic. That means they should all be taken with a grain of salt. That said, if even half of these leaks turn out to be true, then Chapter 6 could be an incredibly interesting year for Fortnite.
