It appears that Epic Games has accidentally added a Chapter 3 trailer to TikTok early, which gives us a look at the new map.
Fortnite is set to receive one of its largest updates yet with Chapter 3 in December. This will start a brand-new storyline, introduce plenty of new mechanics and NPCs, and of course, bring a new map.
The End event isn’t set to begin until Saturday, December 4, but it appears that Epic Games accidentally added the trailer to TikTok early. Although now removed, it’s still out in the wild, giving the first look at the Chapter 3 map.
Fortnite Chapter 3 trailer leaked
Of course, If you don’t want spoilers for The End event and Chapter 3 that follows, don’t read on any further.
Now onto the trailer.
In this short teaser trailer, we can see Agent Jonesy is washed out to sea off the coast of the Chapter 2 island. We then see the island completely flip over, revealing the Chapter 3 map on the other side.

This is presumably after The End event following the Cube Queen’s defeat. The Tsunami that hits Jonesy will likely mark the beginning of the downtime, but we’ll need to wait until the event to know for sure.
Some believe that this trailer teases that they’re bringing back the Chapter 1 map. We can’t see enough of it to confirm, but the desert biome spotted has led to speculation that Paradise Palms will make a return.

There has been some debate over whether this trailer is real, but it appears to be legit. Known leaker iFireMonkey confirmed that “the video IS real,” and they’ve used the TikTok account as a source before.

I can confirm the video IS real, as the tiktok account @ that was spotted was the same one I got the BTS emote videos a while back.
If you don't want spoilers, it's best to hop off twitter.
Leakers say they’ve been asked not to leak any Chapter 3 details during downtime between seasons, so we’re unlikely to know much more about the new map ahead of its arrival.
But, both Spider-Man and Matrix skins have been leaked for the new season, and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has all but confirmed that he will be playing The Foundation character.
