Highlights

  • Season 3 brought a post-apocalyptic vibe to Fortnite, paving the way for a potential futuristic utopia map in the future.
  • A utopia map could introduce flying cars, sci-fi crossovers, and lush plant life, creating a sharp contrast to the current Wasteland.
  • Fortnite players can expect exciting updates and crossovers as the game continues to evolve.

Chapter 5 Season 3 of Fortnite has gone post-apocalyptic, as part of the map has been reduced to a desert wasteland. Every new season of Fortnite features small updates to the map, and the Wasteland marks the first time that the game has brought a post-apocalyptic scenario to life. There has already been plenty of speculation about what the next Fortnite season might look like, but it's certain that there will at least be some changes to in-game locations.

Although it's unclear exactly how the map will change in Season 4, the Wasteland sets up the perfect follow-up map for Fortnite to showcase. Fortnite is known for its constantly evolving content, whether its through skins or map regions, and the obvious direction to take after the Wasteland is by featuring a futuristic utopia.

Fortnite Bringing a Future Utopia to Life is Rife with Potential

Fortnite's Wasteland is a fun exploration of high octane, post-apocalyptic fury. Taking some inspiration from the other iconic wastelands in pop culture, like Mad Max and Fallout, Fortnite could have even more to explore with a futuristic utopia setting. This type of map would be fertile soil to bring some great locations to life with a bounty of franchises to collaborate with.

What a Fortnite Utopia Map Could Look Like

  • Flying cars and other advanced technology
  • Crossovers with major sci-fi franchises
  • Lush plant life

When it comes to a utopia, one of the most important aspects of a perfect civilization is found in the technology that is used. This could give Fortnite the chance to really have fun with the possibilities a utopia could offer, like flying cars and a variety of other technological advancements that could bring forth some exciting weapons. Vehicles have played an important role in Fortnite since they were added to the game, and flying cars could be the next great evolution of the feature.

One of the most clear benefits of a utopia map location is that it's the perfect opportunity for Fortnite to feature some new crossovers. A great crossover for a utopia-inspired season would be Star Trek. The United Federation of Planets featured in Star Trek is one of the quintessential utopian societies in science fiction. Not only does Star Trek feature an idealistic view of the future, it also presents the perfect opportunity for some great new skins, like Captain Kirk and Spock.

Although utopias are usually incredibly technology focused, fertile land also makes the perfect conditions to live in, which could serve as the complete antithesis to the Wasteland map. A mix of advanced technology and lush plant life is the exact opposite of what the Wasteland offers players, and it would be exciting to see how Fortnite goes about bringing such a world to life.

Fortnite's Future Plans

There have been leaks of Fortnite's rumored roadmap for the rest of the year, and although some of these predictions have been proven to be true, the majority still remain as speculation until confirmed. Whatever the rest of the year holds for Fortnite, doing the complete opposite of the current map seems like the clear path forward. Chapter 5's map changes have brought major updates to its locations. From Ancient Greek god headquarters to a full-throttle post-apocalyptic Nitrodome, each map change has brought something surprising and new.

A utopia map may not be on the horizon, but it could serve as a great follow-up to the sand-covered desert. The Wasteland has been a lot of fun, but seeing how Fortnite approaches the exact opposite of the landscape could prove to be incredibly interesting. As more updates and crossovers come to Fortnite, it will be fascinating to see how the map evolves.
