The much-hyped Doomsday event in Fortnite was also pushed back along with Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 3. The Fortnite live event is now scheduled on 15th of June 2020.

Days ahead of its launch, Fortnite's new season has already amassed numerous theories ranging from how the Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 3 map will look like to rumours of the old Fortnite map coming back.

The next season of Fortnite is expected to unleash significant changes to the upcoming Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 3 map. This will make way for a new narrative which is expected to kick in after the Fortnite live event concludes.

'The Agency' which is the epicentre of the Doomsday event in Fortnite has several missile silos surrounding it, that are currently submerged underwater. Player theories for the Fortnite's new season suggest that these missiles will come into the game to destroy certain areas of the map. This will cause water to pour inside the Battle Royale island which will then allow for the transition of a flooded map as multiple Fortnite leaks suggest.
