A new creative island named Desert vs Sea has been introduced during the Fortnite Lantern Fest 2025 event. Players choose between the Desert or Sea teams and compete to achieve more eliminations than the opposing side, which is very similar to the popular Red vs Blue maps.

As matches progress, powerful abilities, like Double HP, Double Damage, and Invisibility can be unlocked. The island also features interactive Fortnite riddles. If you want to play it, you can follow these steps:

Click on the search icon on the top left of the Fortnite home page.
Paste the UEFN code 7286-4717-1963.
Click on the yellow "Select" button, and wait for the map to load.
