Some believe there could be a connection between Chapter 2 Season 2 and Chapter 1 Season 4.

While the exact details of Fortnite Chapter 2 – Season 2 remain a mystery, one thing we can be sure of is a new Battle Pass filled with fun cosmetics and, most likely, a slight rework of the map. Expect some new locations, themes and mysteries. It’s also possible that the move to Unreal Engine’s Chaos physics system could result in new gameplay mechanics or, at the very least, some more extravagant destructible environments.
