Atlantis Fortnite aka Coral Fortress. New POI
The expected location Atlantis is now in Fortnite, but with a slight twist - it's actually called "Coral Fortress".
The latest round of changes to the map has been revealed thanks to the ever-lowering water levels, which are re-exposing some previously flooded areas.
Locations such as the Koshyar Cinema and the Dirty Docks have been unveiled here over the past few weeks, but players have been left in anticipation of the Atlantis area.
It was originally leaked at the start of the season, after Aquaman himself was added to the game as a skin, and it looked like only Atlantis could be the new location available for exploration.
New Coral Fortress POI
The new area has replaced the whirlpool that previously covered these coordinates, and is now in its place "Coral Fortress".
Atlantis is a sandy place with many small and large buildings dotted around.
Atlantis is surrounded by many waterfalls and there are only small places that are filled with water. There are also motor boats in Atlantis, but getting them out of their new location will not be easy.
The location has a large building in the middle, while smaller buildings and what looks like watchtowers surround it. There are actually only two floors available in the main building, but it seems that Atlantis as a whole will provide a lot of loot with the number of buildings along with numerous chest spawns outside.
Landing here should provide excellent loot opportunities, with plenty of chests to raid. However, since the POI is new, it can get very busy for the next few days at least.
More map changes
We have seen more changes than just the appearance of Atlantis (Coral Fortress). The floating headquarters (Fortilla) "has completely changed orientation", it just turned 90 degrees, but otherwise remained the same.
You can see the drop in water levels from the tweet FNBRHQ :

The nectar valley has also returned, now there is no water, although, of course, it is still very humid here.
With this update, the water is back up to the right level again, which means the map is well-suited for the arrival of the long-awaited cars.
