The drop ship rocks. I hover over a skull-shaped island and realize the old map I memorized no longer exists. You can feel the change the moment the Going Merry clears the clouds.
From the deck you can already spot a skull-shaped bay — All New POIs in Fortnite Treasure Hunters Mini Season
Crossbones Isle lands on November 1, 2026, and it isn’t shy. Epic Games swapped out the sprawling Override for a tighter map built around a skull-and-crossbones motif — a map that reads like a signature across the ocean. Lobbies cap at 80 players, which changes how you think about drops, fights, and rotations.
There are 12 fresh POIs, each with its own risk-reward blueprint. If you want fast loot and faster fights, you need to pick your drop with intent. I’ll walk you through the must-see spots and what to expect when you touch down.
- Rubber Resort
- The Chest
- Arlong Park
- Loot Lagoon
- Lil Uzi’ Stronghold
- Lantern Landing
- Cursed Cavern
- The $.$. Rocky
- Loguetown
- Windmill Village
- Plunder Port
- Busy Bay
What new POIs are on the Treasure Hunters map?
Short answer: a pirate-themed overhaul with heavy collabs. Long answer: One Piece landmarks sit next to music-artist strongholds and atmospheric towns built for late-game fights. Expect crossovers to be visible in skins, NPCs, and the loot pool — the Battle Pass includes six new skins tied to this season.
From the bow you can see cannons lined up — The $.$. Rocky
The $.$. Rocky is the new flagship POI from the A$AP Rocky collab. It bristles with mounted cannons and Choppa spawns that let you turn a losing engagement into an escape. I treat this spot as a high-variance drop: big payoff if you win the early scrap, frustrating if you don’t.
From the skyline Arlong Park is unmistakable — Arlong Park and One Piece locations
Arlong Park nods to the One Piece partnership without stealing every panel from the manga. It’s compact, vertically interesting, and gives you plenty of interior fights to fight through. If you follow creators on YouTube and X (Twitter) you’ll already see favoured routes and chest spawns being mapped out — use that early intel to shorten your learning curve.
The lanterns are visible from the ridge — Lantern Town
Lantern Town is intentionally scenic — quiet alleys, elevated sightlines, and dozens of warm lights that hide loot and ambushes. Players who prefer methodical play will like landing here; aggressive squads will treat it as a staging ground for mid-game fights.
The graffiti pops from the pier — Lil Uzi’ Fort
Lil Uzi Vert’s stronghold is loud in both visuals and audio design. The colorways match skins like Kawaii Cuddle Team Leader, so cosplayers will find synergy. Expect tight corridors and elevated positions that reward fast movement and precision aim.
The frying pans are still on the stove — Baratie
Baratie brings the floating-restaurant chaos from One Piece to Treasure Hunters. It’s a contested POI — the vertical layers mean fights cascade from deck to keel. I’d avoid solo drops here until you’ve run a couple of rounds and learned the internal rotations.
Callouts that matter: The Battle Pass ties to these collabs (Epic Games marketing is loud across X and YouTube), Unreal Engine tools brought extra environmental polish, and creator maps on TikTok and Reddit will be your fastest study guides for chest pathways. Crossbones Isle acts as a magnet for chaos, funneled into twelve hotspots — plan accordingly.
How many players are in a Treasure Hunters lobby?
Matches are capped at 80 players. That smaller headcount compresses action and accelerates endgames, meaning your hot-drop decision carries more weight than in larger lobbies.
The highway signs are still visible where the town once sat — Every Removed POI from Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Map
Override’s Chapter 7 Season 4 POIs will be retired when Treasure Hunters launches. That includes fan-favourite and seasonal spots that defined recent metas. If you’re nostalgic for Fortnitemares fights, you’re not alone — several creators already posted highlight reels on YouTube and Clips on X.
- Lifty Lodge
- Nightmare Neighbourhood
- Freaky Fields
- Wonkeeland
- Golden Grove
- Shaken Sanctuary
- Cluster Coast
- Sunken Shores
- Heatwave Harbor
- Chopped Shop
These removals change rotation math and shift which POIs are safe for looting. If you’ve been using third-party mapping tools or community pins on Reddit, update your routes — the island’s center of gravity moved with Crossbones Isle.
You can treat this like a fresh season to learn fast or grind the new meta; either way, your drop matters more than your ship choice — so where do you land first?
