Thanks to recent leaks, an upcoming point of interest is now expected to release with Fortnite’s next update on July 5th, 2022. The new location is expected to be called “The Tower” or “Temple Bloom”, where one name could potentially be a smaller POI inside the other.
Here’s the reveal from Fortnite enthusiast HYPEX, who has frequently been a reliable source for future Fortnite changes and content:
Fortnite just unvaulted the Flare Gun and added in the new Ripsaw Launcher with today’s update. The Ripsaw tech will only be available for a week. You can check out that official announcement from Fortnite’s official feed here:
Most fans are already speculating that the map changes will coincide with the release of Indiana Jones. Exploring temples definitely lines up with Indy, who had to confront an evil cult in The Temple of Doom.
Besides, news about the fifth film in the franchise continues to slowly roll out, and Fortnite is consistently able to tap into the constantly shifting field of pop culture.
Fans of the beloved character have been worried about the future of the film series. The last installment from Spielberg widely received some harsh criticism, and Harrison Ford isn’t getting any younger.
But with a fresh take from director James Mangold, who has created multiple hits like Logan, and some on-set praise of Ford’s physique, there’s plenty of opportunity for greatness. Ultimately, even younger generations of Fortnite fans are looking forward to a dedicated map location for Indy.
This opens up the game to all kinds of references to the iconic franchise, including traps, Easter Eggs and more. Still, some players are a little frustrated to see the original Temple change, and others were hoping for a different tie-in altogether.
