The upcoming season of Fortnite is set to bring exciting new content that matches the anticipated heist theme. However, there are speculations among players that The Citadel, a major location since Chapter 4 Season 1, may be removed to make way for a more fitting point of interest in Season 4.
Epic Games has confirmed that the next season of Fortnite, called "Last Resort," will revolve around a heist theme, offering a refreshing change from the jungle theme of Season 3. In line with the theme, players can expect new cosmetics and gear, including a deployable briefcase turret that will trap opponents. Additionally, Asteria, the in-game world, will receive updates with new points of interest spread throughout the map, providing players with more opportunities to explore and discover valuable loot.
Speculation surrounds the future of The Citadel on Asteria Island, with players questioning if it will be removed at the start of the next season based on recent trailers. Reddit user LemonCarlito suggests that the high-tech mansion in the Last Resort's cinematic trailer may replace the castle's current location, noting similarities between the cliffs overlooking The Citadel's ravine and those seen in the trailer.
Opinions regarding this speculation vary among users, with some finding The Citadel to be an attractive location to explore during a match due to its medieval theme and verticality, making it an ideal spot for defensive tactics. However, others criticize the removal of Oathbound Chests, which diminishes its appeal for players searching for better loot.
The Citadel's fate will be revealed soon, as Last Resort will commence on August 25 after a brief maintenance. In addition to the exciting heist-themed gear, Epic Games has provided a sneak peek of the upcoming skins for Season 4, featuring Ahsoka Tano and influencer Khaby Lame.
Fortnite can be enjoyed on various platforms including Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
