In the online shooter Fortnite, a castle and a village are hidden in the ice of Polar Peak. A YouTuber has now discovered this. It is believed that a new landing spot is slowly melting free, which will develop into a hotspot in the ice over the course of the season.
This is what has changed at the start of Season 7 on the map: Already towards the end of Season 6, players noticed that an iceberg was drifting towards the Fortnite map. It crashed into the game world with the start of Season 7.
A trailer revealed that an evil Santa Claus jumped from the iceberg with an army of armed snowmen to attack the inhabitants of Fortnite.
The iceberg has expanded the map around the region “Polar Peak”. A castle rises out of the snow there.
It was thought that this could be the refuge of the new ultimate skin “Ice King”. But no one has been able to get further so far. What lies in the eternal ice of Fortnite remains hidden. At least until now …
This has now happened: The German YouTuber “StanPlay” received a tip from a fan on how to glitch into this area.
Through a minigame on the playground and with the help of some tricks, it is possible to reach this castle in the ice already.
In doing so, Stanplay discovered that not only a castle was located there in the ice, but also a village – even more. Apparently, the foundations for a new important “Point of Interest” on the Fortnite map are already lying in the ice.
However, only parts of the village can be seen in the video. Apparently, it has not yet been fully implemented in Fortnite.
StanPlay says the area is already stocked with treasure chests and loot, although apparently it is not intended for anyone to reach there at the moment.
Is a new hotspot emerging in Fortnite?
This is what the discovery means: It is assumed that the iceberg Polar Peak will melt away over the course of Season 7. A new, exciting location could emerge here that is suitable as a landing spot.
According to the US site Forbes, they even believe that the new location could become a hotspot like the old Tilted Towers, as it is quite a large spot and relatively centrally located.
