Epic Games decided to use a special hashtag and fan engagement to help both build hype and show the reveal of the flipped map heading into Fortnite Chapter 3.
Essentially, those who wanted to see the map uncovered were required to publish a tweet using the hashtag "#FortniteFlipped." Those who participated would get an image of their profile picture flipped to symbolically represent the flipping of the literal Fortnite Island at the end of Chapter 2. Additionally, every tagged tweet contributed toward unveiling the new map—of which the progress could be tracked at the new Flip The Island webpage.
At the time of writing, the full map has been revealed, showcasing an island that has nearly 2/3 of the entire surface area covered in snow. Those who aren't partial to wintery weather shouldn't worry, however. According to a news post published on the official Fortnite news page, the island will thaw over the course of the story, revealing a lush, green landscape underneath.
