Fortnite is working on a car racing game mode that can be played in both normal and competitive modes!

It *might* be released within the next 5 months, and seems to offer 18 divisions with player rankings.

The game mode will also feature a Ranked Mode which will make the gameplay excited for serious racers.
Armored Vehicles & Vehicle Mods
Players are also excited about the rumored arrival of Armored Vehicles and NPCs with the ability to drive them around the island next season. Speculation has it that these vehicles are the same as the IO tanks shown in Chapter 3.

There will also be special NPCs which will drive around in them codenamed "ArmoredCarGoons"

More than that, it has been speculated that the upcoming season would provide a number of vehicle upgrades that will allow users to ride through a variety of biomes and heights.
Jungle/Tropical Biome
Many Fortnite fans believe that a new biome will introduce a jungle or tropical setting to the game. The latest update files included encrypted assets for the corresponding textures, lending credence to the theories.
Everything we know about the Season 3 Jungle/Tropical biome:

ā Will have new Palm Trees
ā Will have new Volcanic/Jungle rocks, some of will be indestructible (via: @HYPEX and @Sharp_3D)
ā Will include new gameplay related mud, which might slow you down while in it#Fortnite pic.twitter.com/jABySYwfcT
Furthermore, various sound effects of the Jungle biome were leaked, including noises of animals and water bodies. In recent leaks, it has also been revealed that the Jungle biome will bring Vines on the island that will act similar to Grind Rails in the latest season.
Desert Biome
A Desert Biome has been hinted at for Season 3, joining the Tropical Biome that has already been leaked. Cacti plants and sand textures are rumored to have been decrypted from recent update files, according to a number of leaks.
According to @Wensoing & @Loolo_WRLD, there are some files that indicate a Chapter 4 Desert Biome, including:

ā Palm Trees
ā Joshua Trees
ā Cacti
It is unknown if this is for Season 3, future Season or UEFN
2 Biomes would be awesome, but it sounds a bit far fetched | #Fortnite pic.twitter.com/BxysuvoT0v
But leakers think itās exceedingly rare to see two biomes on a single map, which would impress players greatly if it were implemented.
Volcano
Players have reported feeling earthquakes on the Fortnite island as the current season winds down. This validates the rumor of an impending Volcano Eruption before to the start of the next season in the game.
More Audio files related to Lava & Volcanoes were added with the #Fortnite v24.40 Update.

Sounds for Lava and Volcanoes, which might be included in the next Season 3, were among the leaked assets.
Mud Ground Texture
Several leaks have showed that the ground in the Jungle biome would have the Mud texture, allowing players to slide while also slowing their movement speed as they walk over it. In addition, the physics of the mud will change in interesting ways when vehicles travel over it or when shots are fired during a game.
More info on the upcoming Mud:
ā Wenso (@Wensoing) May 13, 2023
ā Looks to slow down players & vehicles
ā Vehicles will turn muddy once you drive in it
ā Vehicles will leave mud tracks once they leave the mud
ā Will have special splashes if shot/an explosion is nearby

In addition to the visual differences, the sound effects for the mud in first-person and third-person modes have also been leaked.
Summer Event
Every year, throughout the summer, Epic Games releases a new Summer Event to Fortnite, which features a number of free themed-quests and cosmetic items. A 14-day summer event, similar to those of prior seasons, has also been revealed to take place in the upcoming season.
14 Days of Summer will be returning this year between July 4th-25th!
ā Wenso (@Wensoing) May 12, 2023
It will have 2 quest sections: Propping and Mural, free rewards and more!

First Person Mode
The inclusion of First Person mode to the primary Battle Royale playlists has been the most talked about change coming to Fortnite. Since the very first leaks at the start of Chapter 4, gamers have been requesting the First Person perspective, which is presently only accessible in Creative 2.0 maps.
Epic is continuing work on First Person (as expected)
ā Wenso (@Wensoing) May 7, 2023
With 24.30, more files for the first person camera were added for various weapons including for some reason Guided Missiles
Sounds for walking on mud in first person were also added.

However, according to recent leaks, the game has received a number of new files in preparation for a First Person mode, which might be included in Season 3.
One Piece Collab
Since rumors of a collaboration with Attack on Titan and Dragon Ball Z have circulated among players, the partnership with the popular anime series One Piece has also been hinted about for quite some time. While the former have made their way into the Fortnite universe, players are still waiting for Luffy and the rest of the pirate crew to show up.
Since next season has a Jungle/Tropical biome, it's only right for Fortnite to make One Piece the next anime collab, it would fit perfectly š„ pic.twitter.com/wyqqvIZ5TQ
ā HYPEX (@HYPEX) April 25, 2023
Epic has been adding more anime characters in every season recently, and new rumors on the impending Tropical themed biome hint the One Piece collab can be included in the next season.
Weapon Attachments
To maximize effectiveness and personalize the experience, players in nearly every Battle Royale game can customize their own weapons. On the other hand, Fortnite arms players with an elementary weapons system.
Weapon Mods / Attachements have been updated for the second patch in a row, this time they added support for better recoil when aiming, scopes & some things related to first person when using these attachements. pic.twitter.com/uqm6qzHgi7
ā HYPEX (@HYPEX) April 11, 2023
But thatās expected to change next season, when features like scopes and recoil muzzles might be added as attachments. Using them, players may greatly improve their weaponās performance and modify it as the game progresses.
Throwable Melee weapon
Among the leaked weapons was a Throwable melee weapon, which was said to be introduced in Chapter 3. In spite of the fact that this did not occur, gamers are anticipating the arrival of the rumored Throwable Axe in Season 3.

What if in Season 3 we finally see the Throwable Axe as a new Melee Item? Or at least something similar
It has been sitting in the Files for way too long, so who knows! #Fortnite pic.twitter.com/8mxCmmBIkf
Since there are currently no game files to back up this speculation, the weaponās inclusion in the upcoming season is still up for debate.
Rideable Raptors
A leaked Season 3 artwork suggests that players will soon be able to tame and mount Raptors, just like they do with wolves and boars and ride them around the island
Chapter 4 Season 3 Will Have Ridable Jungle Vines And Raptors?!#Fortnite #FortniteLeaks pic.twitter.com/72ZlJIuN7v
ā boppy_fortnite leaks (@MasonBowles7) May 28, 2023
The leak was provided by HYPEX and Shiina, and it depicts a future Battle Pass character traversing the jungle on a Raptor running along a Temple Ruins-style POI. Although this is only a leak, it provides significant confirmation of the upcoming seasonās focus on the Jungle biome.
Optimus Prime skin
Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots in the Transformers franchise, is rumored to be a Battle Pass skin in the next season. The loading screen was obtained by dataminers and posted on Twitter, revealing the skin.
Season 3 is now confirmed to be Tropical themed, and Fortnite is also collaborating with Transformers, with Optimus Prime being in the battle pass.

The timing of the characterās introduction into the game coincides neatly with the premiere of the newest Transformers movie.
New Weapons
The next season of Fortnite will feature a large number of new weaponry. The first hint of the Kinetic Boomerang, which will serve as a replacement for the Kinetic Blade, appeared in the Season 3 key art.

ā Helicopters are getting a "Launcher" that shoots every 2 seconds and deals 35 damage & 450 builds damage.
ā There's a new Lever Pistol seen in the leaked loading screen, with most likely slow hard-hitting shots
ā Fortnite are working on an Epic/Legendary⦠pic.twitter.com/KzoJOFZWqv
Additionally, the Infantry Rifle, Lever Action Shotgun, and Mythic Drum Shotgun will also be made available in Season 3. While these are all exciting improvements to the gameās arsenal, many expect this season to play out similarly to the third season of Chapter 3.
Upgraded Choppa Vehicle
Recently leaked information suggests that the famed Choppa vehicle from Fortnite Chapter 2 will be making a comeback to the game, this time equipped with a launcher. In the past, Choppas were employed for quick island rotations and high-altitude sniping.
The "Choppa" will be reworked next season, and will have a Mounted Launcher. š„
ā FNbuzz (@FNBRbuzz) May 28, 2023
It'll deal 35 damage to enemies and 450 damage to structures. It will also have a 2 second delay between each shot. š
(via @HYPEX) #Fortnite pic.twitter.com/npbswqPIE5
However, this time, with the launcher with increased damage, they can prove quite lethal to oneās opponents. It appears that this season, players will use the Choppa mostly in the air and engage in aerial warfare.
