What Changes Might Happen?
It’s speculated that The Device might transfer parts of the map underwater, and that’s what a recent Fortnite Season 3 leak pointed to.
Unlike Season 2’s full reboot of Fortnite, one doesn’t know if Season 3 will feature significant gameplay improvements. However, data miners have discovered specifics of more underwater gameplay and cross-breeding.
Dataminers had an intimate look about what sections of the map could shift after the Device event. The illuminated part of Rickey Reels, Madness Field, Lazy Bay, The Shark, and a range of other nearby water spots that could be flooded or drastically modified in many areas.
Battle Pass
Players will have a little more time to access skin variants for Brutus, Meowscles, and Maya as of now Season 3 has been postponed. New details on the Season 3 Battle Pass haven’t been confirmed yet, though it’s reasonable to assume a few stuff.
The Fortnite season 3 battle pass may still be 950 V-Bucks for the standard edition, just like most of the passes before it. The Battle Bundle edition is expected to cost 2,500 V-Bucks. The Battle Package version will instantly let you skip the first 25 thirds of the war ride, unlocking all items inside those thirds immediately.
Many other scheduled tech and gaming activities have been postponed or canceled due to conflicts in the US. Electronic Arts postponed an event for the famous Madden NFL game, Google postponed an Android launch and Sony scheduled a PS5 event.
