Fortnite shocked the world when it literally imploded earlier this week, leaving only a black hole in its wake. Then, on Tuesday, Fortnite Chapter 2 sprung forth from the aether, with a fresh slate of content, including a new, unseen island for players to explore. Or, it was thought unseen, until the realization it had been leaked on Reddit in September, just nobody thought it was real. An image of the map was posted to the Fortnite subreddit r/fortnitecompetitive several weeks ago. At the time, everyone just turned a blind eye, believing it another over-zealous piece of fan-art, using the location names from a previous data-mine, and the poster's claim to have a friend working at Epic didn't stir much credibility. Several reposts were all heavily downvoted, and the image's inclusion in a round-up by Reddit user FaZeNiccorazi (thanks, Eurogamer!) still didn't convince anyone. It wasn't until Fortnite news and leaks reporter Hypex got behind it just two weeks ago that people starting taking the map seriously, to which someone claiming to be the original poster decried it as a fake they made in photoshop.
