According to a rumor, Epic is replacing the Tilted Towers in Fortnite: Battle Royale with a location called Captive Castle. What’s the truth behind the rumor? Is Epic really going to throw all the work with the Towers overboard? We present the rumor and shed light on it.
It’s no secret: The balance of the Fortnite: Battle Royale map has been disrupted with the Tilted Towers. Since the last major map update, the city has been experiencing a continuous gold rush.
Round after round, dozens of players land in the city to get their piece of the pie. This leads to abandoned locations on the eastern part of the map – and thus to boredom, according to player criticism.
According to YouTuber Exility, Epic is working on a replacement for the Tilted Towers: Captive Castle!
According to YouTuber, Epic is working on the location Captive Castle
The YouTuber Exility describes in his video a new location called Captive Castle, which will replace the Tilted Towers and thereby distribute players more across the map.
The video has already garnered 1.6 million views and is a hot topic in the community.
Exility states as a reason that the Tilted Towers disrupt the game balance and harm the gameplay. According to the community, the castle is the “best alternative”.
Who was consulted for this information is not known. Unfortunately, the YouTuber does not provide a source for this rumor. The title of the video also suggests that the change is already set in stone. No valid source is provided for this claim.
Robert says: The Tilted Towers are a reasonable addition to Fortnite: Battle Royale. High risk is rewarded with above-average loot. The biggest problem with the Towers is their location. Since the city is very central, it is almost always in the first safe zone.
Players thus have significantly more time to hunt for loot than a player who jumped over Lonely Lodge. The buildings and winding spots of the city also offer plenty of hiding places.
Captive Castle is likely just a fan concept at the moment
Despite the disrupted balance, it is highly unlikely that Epic will completely abandon the location. The video is a concept from the community, no more and no less. It will be exciting to see how Epic will handle the Tilted Towers in the future.
Nonetheless, the castle could be placed elsewhere, which is relatively abandoned – the area around Dusty Depot.
What do you think of the concept? Could you imagine the castle on the map?
