Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 had 18 named landing locations. The island launched on December 1, 2024, and the season ended on February 21 at 2 AM ET, so this is a historical map reference rather than a description of Fortnite’s current island. The list below follows the contemporaneous location guide, while Epic Games’ launch announcement supplies the season dates and descriptions of several major areas.
Epic framed the island as a land of cherry blossoms, spiritual forces, and timeworn magic. Use the names in the table as the complete set of named POIs for that season, and treat separately listed landmarks such as The Great Turtle as map features rather than additional named locations.
What was the Chapter 6 Season 1 map?
Chapter 6 Season 1 introduced a new Fortnite island with an explicitly Japanese-inspired fantasy setting. Epic’s December 1, 2024 announcement described it this way: “Welcome to the Chapter 6 map, where cherry blossoms fall on soil long-protected by spiritual forces and timeworn magic.” That theme is reflected in the contrast between traditional training grounds, supernatural forests and shrines, and dense modern districts.
The season was a fixed historical period. Epic’s announcement gives December 1, 2024 as the launch date and February 21 at 2 AM ET as the end of Chapter 6 Season 1. Later map updates or the island currently available in Fortnite should not be assumed to contain these same locations.
What are all 18 named locations on the Chapter 6 Season 1 map?
The December 1, 2024 location guide identifies 18 named landing spots. The names below are reproduced as the complete list; spelling and apostrophes matter when you are matching an old screenshot, replay, quest guide, or tournament VOD.
| # | Named location | What the historical sources establish |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Whiffy Wharf | Named landing location in the Chapter 6 Season 1 guide; no textual compass position is supplied. |
| 2 | Flooded Frogs | Named landing location; Epic describes it as a place where players could train. |
| 3 | Magic Mosses | Named landing location; Epic describes overgrowth, obelisks, and underground treasures. |
| 4 | Demon’s Dojo | Named landing location in the guide; no textual position is supplied. |
| 5 | Pumped Power | Named landing location; no official descriptive detail is given in the cited announcement. |
| 6 | Twinkle Terrace | Named landing location; no official descriptive detail is given in the cited announcement. |
| 7 | Lost Lake | Named landing location; no official descriptive detail is given in the cited announcement. |
| 8 | Brutal Boxcars | Named landing location; no official descriptive detail is given in the cited announcement. |
| 9 | Nightshift Forest | Named landing location; Epic says the sun does not shine there. |
| 10 | Foxy Floodgate | Named landing location; no official descriptive detail is given in the cited announcement. |
| 11 | Shining Span | Named landing location; Epic says it connects Seaport City with neighboring villages such as Canyon Crossing. |
| 12 | Burd | Named landing location; no official descriptive detail is given in the cited announcement. |
| 13 | Warrior’s Watch | Named landing location; Epic calls it a grand structure. |
| 14 | Seaport City | Named landing location; Epic describes a dense commercial district. |
| 15 | Canyon Crossing | Named landing location and one of the villages connected by Shining Span in Epic’s description. |
| 16 | Masked Meadows | Named landing location; no official descriptive detail is given in the cited announcement. |
| 17 | Shogun’s Solitude | Named landing location; Epic presents it as a place to face foes. |
| 18 | Hopeful Heights | Named landing location; no official descriptive detail is given in the cited announcement. |
This list answers the named-POI question, not every structure, shrine, road, body of water, or unnamed landmark visible on the island. The contemporaneous guide establishes the names but does not provide a reliable written north, south, east, or west description for each one, so assigning compass positions from memory would risk mislabeling the historical map.
Which Chapter 6 Season 1 locations did Epic describe?
Epic’s launch announcement gives useful context for a subset of the 18 names. These descriptions explain the intended identity of each area without claiming unverified loot counts, player traffic, or a “best” drop.
What was special about Warrior’s Watch?
Epic calls Warrior’s Watch a grand structure. That wording establishes its monumental, fortified character, but it does not provide a measured size, coordinate, or guaranteed item pool. In a historical screenshot, the name should be read as a named POI with a large architectural identity rather than as proof of a particular gameplay advantage.
What happened at Flooded Frogs?
Epic describes Flooded Frogs as a place where players could train. The announcement does not define a formal training mode or promise a specific exercise, quest, or loot rule there; “train” is the official thematic description attached to the location.
What could players find in Magic Mosses?
Magic Mosses is described as overgrown, with obelisks and treasures underground. Those details make it one of the island’s explicitly supernatural locations. They do not establish how many chests spawned, whether every match contained the same underground route, or how its loot compared with another POI.
Why is Nightshift Forest called “nightshift”?
Epic says the sun does not shine in Nightshift Forest. This is a setting description, not a statement that the entire match entered a global night cycle. It identifies the forest’s distinctive atmosphere during Chapter 6 Season 1.
What were Shining Span, Seaport City, and Canyon Crossing?
Epic describes Seaport City as a dense commercial district. Shining Span connects that city to neighboring villages, including Canyon Crossing, giving the three names a clear relationship in the announcement: an urban center, a connecting span, and a village destination. The source does not state travel times, bridge length, or the number of buildings in any of them.
What were Shogun’s Solitude and the island’s warrior theme?
Epic says players could face foes at Shogun’s Solitude. The name and description fit the season’s broader martial and spiritual theme, but the announcement does not turn it into a difficulty ranking or guarantee a particular boss encounter inside the POI itself.
Is The Great Turtle one of the 18 named POIs?
No. The Great Turtle is presented by Epic as a venerable creature searching for its partner, making it a map feature or landmark rather than one of the 18 named locations in the contemporaneous guide. Keeping that distinction prevents the historical list from growing to 19 by mixing a landmark with named landing areas.
The same rule applies to other visible features that may appear on an island map without receiving a named label in the guide. A player can remember a landmark, shrine, road, or creature encounter without counting it as a named POI.
How did Chapter 6 Season 1 mechanics affect the map?
Several mechanics gave particular areas or roaming encounters historical importance, but they should be attributed to Chapter 6 Season 1 rather than treated as permanent Fortnite rules.
What did Shogun X do?
Epic said Shogun X roamed across the island gathering spirit energy. Defeating Shogun X awarded the Wanderer Medallion, which Epic described as granting infinite stamina and invisibility while sprinting. Because the boss moved around the island, the mechanic was not a fixed guarantee that one named POI always contained the encounter.
What did Night Rose’s medallion do?
Epic separately said that eliminating Night Rose awarded the Night Rose Medallion. Its documented effect was automatic weapon reloading. That effect belongs to the Chapter 6 Season 1 ruleset and should not be presented as a current-game guarantee.
What other systems were introduced?
The season also added Weapon Expertise Quests, Sprite creatures and Sprite Shrines, Boons, the Rogue Bike, Void Burn vehicles, and new movement features. These systems help explain why an old Chapter 6 map guide may mention more than POI names, but none changes the 18-location count.
How should you use this map list today?
- Anchor the date. Treat the list as a December 1, 2024-to-February 21, 2025 historical snapshot, with the season ending at 2 AM ET on February 21.
- Separate names from landmarks. Count the 18 entries in the table as named POIs. Keep The Great Turtle and other unnamed features in a separate landmark category.
- Use the original map image for positions. The guide’s map image is the positional reference. The written source does not establish coordinates or a complete compass-direction index, so do not infer one from the names alone.
- Match mechanics to the season. Shogun X, Night Rose, medallions, Sprites, Boons, and the Chapter 6 vehicles describe that season’s gameplay, not necessarily the live game.
- Avoid unsupported rankings. The available sources do not establish loot density, player traffic, vault status, or a best-drop ranking. Any such ranking would need separate, dated evidence.
What does the 18-location list tell you about the island’s design?
The names show a deliberate mix of environments. Traditional or martial names include Demon’s Dojo, Warrior’s Watch, and Shogun’s Solitude. Supernatural or nature-focused names include Magic Mosses, Nightshift Forest, Lost Lake, and Masked Meadows. Urban and infrastructure-oriented names include Seaport City, Shining Span, Whiffy Wharf, Foxy Floodgate, Brutal Boxcars, and Pumped Power.
That categorization is thematic, not a tactical ranking. It helps identify the kind of setting a historical screenshot depicts, while the source record remains deliberately cautious about details such as exact placement, chest counts, rotation paths, and match-to-match traffic.
Why are some familiar map features missing from the POI list?
A named-location guide is narrower than a complete island gazetteer. It records the labels used for landing areas, while Epic’s announcement can discuss a creature, bridge, shrine, or environmental feature without treating it as a named POI. The Great Turtle is the clearest example: it is important enough for Epic to mention, but it is not one of the 18 guide entries.
For archival work, preserve the distinction in your notes: “named POI” for the 18 labels, “landmark” for features such as The Great Turtle, and “mechanic” for effects such as the Wanderer and Night Rose Medallions. That terminology avoids accidentally changing what the historical list counted.
Frequently asked questions
Was Chapter 6 Season 1’s island still the Fortnite map after February 21?
Not necessarily. February 21 at 2 AM ET is the end date Epic gave for the season, so later seasons may replace or alter the island. Use this list when discussing Chapter 6 Season 1 footage, screenshots, quests, or replays.
Did the source provide coordinates for all 18 locations?
No. It provides the complete set of names and a map image for positional reference, but not a written coordinate grid or compass description for every POI. Exact placement should therefore be read from the contemporaneous image rather than reconstructed from prose.
Can The Great Turtle be counted as a landing location?
It can be discussed as a landmark or map feature, but it should not be added to the 18 named POIs. Epic’s creature description and the guide’s named-location list classify it differently.
Is there an official “best” drop among these locations?
The cited sources do not establish one. They describe themes and selected mechanics, but provide no verified comparison of loot density, player traffic, vault access, or survival rate.
Which source should settle a disagreement about the season dates?
Use Epic Games’ December 1, 2024 launch announcement for the official launch and end-date information. The contemporaneous guide is the source for the complete 18-name location list.
