Map changes are one of Epic Games\u2019 specialties when it comes to their flagship battle royale title. Love them or hate them, more often than not, the map doesn\u2019t look the same for longer than a season in their game. Over the years, there have been popular POIs destroyed by various different events on the famous Fortnite island, and massive crossovers to completely redefine its multiplayer experience. In the latest patch, though, players noticed that Coral Castle had been changed \u2013 and it\u2019s split players right down the middle. Has Fortnite patch 17.40 ruined Coral Castle? On August 24, Reddit user Rifted-06 gained some traction in the Fortnite community, suggesting Coral is now \u201ceven worse than it was before it was abducted.\u201d The location was subject to an alien invasion in recent times, which caused its battlegrounds to look very different afterward. It was previously surrounded by a lot of water, but after the Mothership came and abducted it, it\u2019s never been the same since. In the latest update, patch 17.40, a lot of its water and loot was removed. Fans divided In terms of the community being divided, it\u2019s a funny old debate. Some players have been wanting the POI to be removed for a while, and couldn\u2019t care less about what\u2019s been left behind after this abduction. One user posted: \u201cGood, more reason to completely avoid it.\u201d Another said: \u201cI prefer it just being erased from existence.\u201d With so many alien overlords watching over the island, though, another player has made a bold prediction about how this could all be for the better. They said: \u201cI\u2019m betting that there are new POIs that are going into these places next season. I might be wrong though.\u201d So while the location has proved to be something of a lightning rod in the game\u2019s community, with many wanting it to be improved and sections calling for it\u2019s removal, it remains to be seen as to what Epic Games will decide. It\u2019s an uncertain future for Coral Castle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite players divided after Coral Castle abduction map changes Epic GamesFortnite\u2019s Coral Castle has been quite a divisive location in the past, but the game\u2019s latest map changes have tipped some players over the edge.
