Quick answer (updated 1 November 2026, 09:30 UTC): The Fortnite Treasure Hunters map is Crossbones Isle, an 80-player Battle Royale island that went live with v43.00 on 1 November 2026. Epic's launch notes describe 11 locations: The $.$. Rocky, Lantern Lanes, Baratie Bay, Windmill Village, Loguetown, Arlong Park, Crew's Cove, Plunder Port, Fort Fortuna, Rubber Resort and Captain's Cenote. Epic's map card prints 12 labels, and only six names match, so we show both lists below. A$AP Rocky is the first Boss, aboard The $.$. Rocky on the east coast, from 9 AM ET (14:00 UTC).

Key takeaways
- Two sets of names: Epic's launch notes and its map card disagree on some POIs. We list both and flag what's our inference.
- Six names match: Arlong Park, Windmill Village, Loguetown, Plunder Port, Rubber Resort and The $.$. Rocky.
- Lobbies drop from 100 to 80 players, the same cap as last year's Simpsons mini-season.
- Cannons are the new way around, and you can load one with an Explosive Cannon Ball.
- The first Boss is A$AP Rocky. He can drop his Shock Rocket and the Lil' Flacko Sprite.
- The island changes weekly. Epic's notes date new arrivals for 7, 14 and 21 November.
What is the new Fortnite map called?
The new map is called Crossbones Isle. Epic named it in its Treasure Hunters announcement on 30 October 2026:
"Climb into a cannon to launch across the new 80-player Crossbones Isle where you can visit Arlong Park and Windmill Village from One Piece."
You may see it written as "Crossbone Isles" in some coverage. Epic's spelling is Crossbones Isle.
The island arrived with update v43.00. It replaced the Chapter 7 Season 4 "Override" island in Battle Royale, and esports.gg reports that it stays the map for the whole mini-season. GameSpot describes it as a smaller island with a lot more water than the Chapter 7 map. Epic hasn't published its exact size.
This only applies to the main game. Fortnite OG is a separate line, and it's still on OG Chapter 1: Season X "Out of Time" with its own island.
Where is every POI on Crossbones Isle?
Epic's map card still carries 12 labels, and it's the same image embedded in the v43.00 launch notes. This is what it shows, grouped by where each label sits.
| POI | Where it is | What the map shows |
|---|---|---|
| Rubber Resort | Far north-west island | Separate island, with what looks like a bridge to the desert |
| The Chest | Islets west of the northern desert | Small island group off the main coast |
| Loot Lagoon | North, centre | Orange desert, where the river reaches the northern coast |
| Lil' Uzi's Stronghold | North-east | Desert edge, next to a large green island |
| Lantern Landing | West of centre | Pink-tree area just north of the purple ring |
| Arlong Park | West coast island | Walled compound, with what looks like a bridge to the mainland |
| Cursed Cavern | Centre-east | Dark crater in the middle of the green zone |
| The $.$. Rocky | East coast island | A$AP Rocky's battleship, moored on the shore |
| Windmill Village | South-west island | Large green island, with a link to the mainland |
| Loguetown | South of centre | Dense town on the northern shore of the southern bay |
| Plunder Port | South coast | Docks, with two ships moored off the coast |
| Busy Bay | South-east | Two connected islands in the corner of the map |
The launch notes use different names for some of these places. We couldn't confirm the in-game labels at publication, so the last column below is our inference from Epic's descriptions, not a statement from Epic.
| Name in Epic's v43.00 notes | Epic's description | Likely map label (our inference) |
|---|---|---|
| The $.$. Rocky | Board it and challenge A$AP Rocky as a Boss | Same name |
| Arlong Park | Fish-man stronghold | Same name |
| Windmill Village | Quiet seaside village with windmills | Same name |
| Loguetown | Busy harbor town | Same name |
| Plunder Port | Two docked ships | Same name |
| Rubber Resort | Resort with a duck-shaped yacht | Same name |
| Lantern Lanes | Maze of lantern-lit streets | Lantern Landing |
| Baratie Bay | Floating restaurant and waterfront | Possibly Busy Bay |
| Fort Fortuna | Fortress with ramparts | Possibly Lil' Uzi's Stronghold |
| Captain's Cenote | Sinkhole pool up a mountain | Possibly Cursed Cavern |
| Crew's Cove | A ship beside a waterfall in a hidden cove | Unclear |
That leaves Loot Lagoon and The Chest on the map card with no matching description in the notes. If the in-game map uses different labels from either list, go by what your game shows.
The map also has features with no label. The biggest is the purple ring in the centre-west, which Epic hasn't explained. There's also a small yellow island in the southern bay and a long orange peninsula pointing east from the desert.
Which One Piece locations are on the map?
Three of the labelled POIs are direct One Piece locations:
- Arlong Park is the fish-man pirates' base. Epic's screenshot shows the tiered tower with shark heads and pools around it, and a sign reading Arlong Park.
- Windmill Village is Luffy's home town. Some One Piece translations call it Foosha Village, which is why that name keeps turning up in leaks. Epic uses Windmill Village.
- Loguetown is the port town from the East Blue saga. esports.gg lists it as a One Piece location. Epic's announcement doesn't name it.
The Chest is the one to watch. Epic teases that "new treasures lie hidden across the Island, including what's inside Captain X's mega chest." It hasn't said that mega chest sits at The Chest POI. The name makes that the obvious guess, but it's still a guess. The launch notes also mention Map Fragments, "just one piece of something bigger", without saying what they lead to.
Our Fortnite One Piece collab page covers the wider crossover.
What is The $.$. Rocky?
The $.$. Rocky is A$AP Rocky's battleship POI on the east coast. Epic's line is: "Board the $.$. Rocky, A$AP Rocky's new battleship POI, and rain rockets from above with A$AP Rocky's Shock Rocket."
The official screenshot shows a grey ship painted with "AWGE" and "Don't Be Dumb", with deck guns, a helicopter on the pad and buildings on the shore beside it. The guns may be set dressing, because Epic hasn't said whether they can be used.
Epic's launch notes confirm the fight: "Board the deck and challenge him as the Island's first Boss - take him down and he can drop his Shock Rocket, along with the brand-new Lil' Flacko Sprite." He arrives with Captain's Day at 9 AM ET (14:00 UTC) on 1 November. Epic hasn't given a spawn timer. Expect this POI to be crowded early in the season. Our weapons guide covers the Shock Rocket.
How many players are on the new Fortnite map?
Crossbones Isle holds 80 players, down from the usual 100. That's 20 fewer per match. GameSpot notes it's the same cap as the Springfield island during last year's Simpsons mini-season.
The smaller lobby comes with a smaller island, so don't assume matches will feel emptier. Epic hasn't published the island's size, and Reddit players are already asking whether it's bigger than Springfield. Only live matches will settle how crowded it feels.
How do the cannons work?
Epic says you climb into a cannon to launch yourself across the island. Its notes add that the Explosive Cannon Ball can be thrown "or load into a Cannon". Epic hasn't listed cannon locations or their range, and the map card doesn't mark them.
They matter on this island because so many POIs sit offshore. Rubber Resort, Arlong Park, Windmill Village, The $.$. Rocky and Busy Bay all appear to depend on narrow crossings. If that holds, a cannon gives you a way out that doesn't run across a bridge in the open.

When do the new POIs and crews arrive?
Epic's rule is simple: "Each week, a new captain arrives in Battle Royale with their own crew and POI: the Straw Hats and A$AP Rocky lead the way, followed by Lil Uzi Vert, Cap'n Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto."
New weapons, Sprites and more drop on Captain's Days. Epic's dates are below, with the matching Item Shop arrivals for context.
| Date (2026) | Captain's Day | Item Shop arrivals |
|---|---|---|
| Sun 1 Nov | Yes, 9 AM ET (14:00 UTC) | Luffy, Nami, Usopp |
| Thu 5 Nov | No | A$AP Rocky, 7 PM ET |
| Sat 7 Nov | Yes | Zoro, Sanji, Chopper Sidekick |
| Thu 12 Nov | Yes | Lil Uzi Vert |
| Fri 13 Nov | No | Buggy |
| Sat 14 Nov | Yes | Kasane Teto, Cap'n Hatsune Miku |
| Sat 21 Nov | Yes | None announced |
Epic gave a start time only for the first Captain's Day. Its launch notes say what each week brings:
- 7 November: "Lil Uzi and Cuddle Team Leader claim a fort of their own", while Buggy and the Megalodon crash onto the island.
- 14 November: Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto "take over the Island's resort", with returning weapons and a leek you can wield.
- 21 November: Oscar "sails in with a ship of his own" and his Frenzy Auto Shotgun.
So the fort POI changes on 7 November and the resort on 14 November. Our Lil Uzi Vert page and Teto and Miku page track those collabs.
Two weekly events also run all season: Mastery Mondays and Treasure Hours Sundays. Epic's 30 October post says they add Captain's weapons to the start of every match, boosted drops and more.
Which names aren't on the map?
Some names from the leaks and trailer readings don't appear on Epic's map card.
- Baratie. It wasn't a label on the map card, but Epic's launch notes now name Baratie Bay: "Stop by the floating restaurant and stroll the waterfront around it."
- Marigold. Beebom read this from the 27 October trailer. It isn't on the map card or in the notes.
- Foosha Village. It's the same place as Windmill Village under another translation.
Where should you land on Crossbones Isle?
This is our reading of Epic's map and notes, not match data. The island has been live for a few hours, so we'll revise it once landing data exists.
- For early fights, try Loguetown or Lantern Lanes. Both sit close to the middle, with routes running out of them.
- For a quiet start, try Rubber Resort. It's at the edge of the map, so fewer people should pass through until Miku and Teto arrive on 14 November. The cost is a longer rotation.
- For the Shock Rocket, go to The $.$. Rocky after 14:00 UTC. Expect company.
- For Sprites, look for Wanted Posters. Each one becomes a Sprite Treasure Map to a buried Sprite Chest.
- Treat the islands with care. Arlong Park and Windmill Village look safe, but a closing storm could force you over a single crossing. Learn the nearest cannon as soon as you can.
Vending Machines are gone and Gold Bars are vaulted, so don't plan a route around buying weapons. Chests and floor loot now do that job.
When can you play on Crossbones Isle?
You can play now. Epic's status page marked v43.00 downtime complete at 08:12 UTC on 1 November 2026. The first Captain's Day starts at 9 AM ET (14:00 UTC). Our Treasure Hunters guide has every time by region.
Will the old Fortnite map come back?
Epic hasn't said. It's only confirmed the next major marker: "keep Saturday, December 5, open. Time is on your side… for now. Don't miss an unforgettable Chapter 7 end event."
That gives Crossbones Isle about five weeks, and our season end date tracker follows the exact timing. Epic hasn't said what the next chapter's island looks like, or whether any of the Override map survives.
