Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4, titled Override, is completely reshaping the island. Five brand-new points of interest are arriving on August 20, replacing three existing locations and adding entirely new landmarks that range from a gaming PC villain lair to Sonic the Hedgehog's iconic Green Hill Zone. The map isn't just getting a cosmetic refresh either. The central structure, the Spire, is taking over from the Zero Point as the season's lore anchor, and electricity pulses running through its wires are already affecting the sky above the island.
What are all the new POIs in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4?
Here's a full breakdown of every new location arriving with the season.
Geno's HQ
Geno's HQ is the standout new location from a design perspective. Built to look like a gaming PC from the inside out, the structure features water cooling pipes and GPUs functioning as towers. It sits where Frosted Flats used to be. The attention to detail here is genuinely impressive. This isn't just a building with a gaming aesthetic slapped on top. The architecture commits fully to the concept, making the Gaming Legends theme feel like it has real weight on the map rather than just in the Battle Pass screen.

Sonic Green Hills Zone
The Sonic Green Hills Zone POI replaces Calamari Canyon and is exactly what it sounds like: a faithful recreation of the classic Sonic stage. The defining feature is a vertical loop at the centre that players can actually run up. Rings are also collectible here in true Sonic fashion. This is one of the more playful collab integrations Fortnite has pulled off, since the POI's mechanics actually reflect the source material rather than just using the IP's visual skin.

Temple
The Temple POI replaces Sinister Strip with an ancient aesthetic that sits in direct contrast to the high-tech look of Geno's HQ. Rumours point strongly to Crash Bandicoot appearing here as an NPC, which would fit the Gaming Legends theme well. The exact services or interactions Crash might offer aren't confirmed yet, but the Temple's layout and lore positioning suggest it will be a high-traffic drop spot.
The Spire
The Spire is the season's central landmark. Wires connect it to the broader island, and electricity visibly pulses through the structure, altering the sky above it. From a lore standpoint, this replaces the Zero Point as the object everything revolves around in Chapter 7 Season 4. Expect this location to evolve significantly as the season progresses, since Epic has confirmed the new POIs will change over time.
Pac-Man Island
Pac-Man Island is the season's smallest new addition. The landmark is shaped to resemble a Ghost from Pac-Man, and the initial look at it suggests it functions more as a visual landmark than a full POI with structures and loot. It's a charming nod to the Gaming Legends theme without overcomplicating the map.
Which POIs were removed in Chapter 7 Season 4?
Three locations were cut to make room for the new additions.
All three removals make geographic sense. The replacements slot into the same map regions, so players familiar with the previous season's layout won't need to relearn the entire island.
What POIs are returning in Chapter 7 Season 4?
Ten locations carry over from the previous season. Here's the full returning list:
- Lifty Lodge
- The Battlewoods
- Latte Landing
- Wonkeeland
- Golden Grove
- Shaken Sanctuary
- Cluster Coast
- Sunken Shores
- Heatwave Harbor
- Chopped Shop
For context on how these locations fit into the broader season setup, including NPC placements and services available across the map, the Chapter 7 Season 2 NPC locations guide covers how Epic typically distributes vendor characters across returning POIs.

How will the new POIs evolve during Season 4?
Epic has confirmed that the five new locations will change as the season progresses. This is consistent with how Chapter 7 has handled major POIs across previous seasons. The Spire in particular looks set to be the focal point of any mid-season or late-season story events, given its lore significance and the visual impact of its electricity effects on the surrounding sky.
The Temple's connection to Crash Bandicoot also suggests it could receive additional interactive elements once the collab fully rolls out. Geno's HQ, with its villain lair framing, is the most likely candidate for a story-driven transformation given how prominently Geno has featured in Chapter 7's overarching narrative.
Where should you drop in Chapter 7 Season 4?
For players who want to experience the new content first, Sonic Green Hills Zone and Geno's HQ are the two most distinct drops. Green Hills offers unique movement mechanics with the loop, while Geno's HQ has the most elaborate structural design of any new location this season.
Competitive players should note that the Spire's central position will make it one of the most contested zones on the map, similar to how central POIs have functioned in previous chapters. If you're grinding ranked, the returning locations like Heatwave Harbor and Cluster Coast will likely see lower drop rates early in the season while players flock to the new spots.
