"It looks like Fortnite will borrow a feature from one of its competing battle royales, should recently surfaced leaks prove to be accurate. According to prominent Fortnite leaker Shiina, the Epic Games title is adding something very similar to the Gulag from Call of Duty: Warzone."
"This feature is purportedly called "Restarter Island," and it'll have eliminated players compete in a random 1v1 minigames, with winners respawning back into battle royale matches. One of these minigames is a simple duel, similar to the Gulag system in Warzone, with another described as a best-out-of-three Rock, Paper, Scissors showdown."
"Fellow Fortnite leaker Blortzen adds that other Restarter Island minigames include a "Shockwave Deathmatch," in which players have to use shockwave grenades to knock each other off, and sprint races between players, with one variation adding deadly baseball bats for competitors to use against each other."
"Blortzen emphasizes that these leaked maps are in a "really really REALLY early state," speculating in an X post that Restarter Island is either an upcoming addition to Fortnite or one that has been scrapped entirely. Shiina, conversely, seems confident enough to say that the mode is "COMING SOON.""
Restarter Island will add eliminated players competing in random 1v1 minigames, with winners respawning back into battle royale matches. Included minigames reportedly include simple duels, a best-out-of-three Rock, Paper, Scissors showdown, a Shockwave Deathmatch using shockwave grenades to knock opponents off, and sprint races with a variation that arms competitors with deadly baseball bats. The leaked maps are described as being in a very early state and may be upcoming or scrapped. Fortnite previously added respawn systems and pinging similar to other battle royales; Fortnite Reload resembles Warzone's Resurgence. Chapter 7 Season 1 is Hollywood-themed and drew around 3 million concurrent players while facing generative AI art accusations.
