Floating Island
Season X Floating Island
Details
Type Unnamed Location
Island Athena
Introduced Patch 6.00
Removed Patch 11.0

Floating Island was an Unnamed Landmark in Battle Royale added in Season 6, previously floating above Leaky Lake. The island had a whirlwind around it that allowed players to fly up to its surface, and redeploy gliders. The house from the original Loot Lake, the Motel and some other small pieces of landmarks could be found on the island.

It was originally added with the Season 6 patch, floating directly above Loot Lake. However, it eventually began to move toward each corrupted area and consume the power of each rune, before going back to the lake. In the Fortnitemares 2018 update, it was revealed that the Cube had destroyed the island, separating it into three chunks. During The Butterfly Event, the Cube was destroyed, causing three pieces of the island to land in Loot Lake. In Season X, it was brought back (with a few changes) to the map via a Rift Beacon, appearing next to Fatal Fields.

Trivia[]

  • The Floating Island is the fourth location to be added back to the Battle Royale Map, after Dusty Depot, the Factories, and Retail Row.
  • It is also the second unnamed POI to return, after the Factories.
  • During The End, the Floating Island and CUBE itself seemed to be ignored by the black hole consuming the entire island, and did not budge during it. This however could have just been a rendering issue.
  • The Floating Island has been removed twice now. Other locations that follow this include Dusty Depot, Factory (POI), Retail Row, Greasy Grove and Prison (POI).
  • The Floating Island's original form can be found in Creative.
  • The Motel on the Season X version of the island looked more cleaned up than the original Motel, having less broken roof and wall pieces and cleaner textures on the walls. This may be due to the fact that This version of the island is from another dimension.
  • Most of the returning props from old Pois that are on the Floating Island are ones that disappeared inside rifts during season 5.
