Despite players being deeply engrossed in the latest update, it's no surprise that data miners and leakers are already turning their attention to hints about Chapter 5.

While it may seem early, these astute individuals keep a vigilant watch for any tidbits that might offer a glimpse into Fortnite's future.

One intriguing piece of information comes from Ako, a reputable leaker and dataminer. Ako highlights a job listing from Epic Games, which includes the intriguing description: "Will involve working on an open-world survival crafting game within a physics sandbox."

Ako aptly comments, suggesting that this could be indicative of Fortnite's take on the popular Minecraft genre. Although this is purely speculative at this stage, it sparks curiosity about potential developments in Chapter 5.

Indeed, the concept of an open-world mode for Fortnite is not entirely new. Rumors about such a mode initially emerged in 2021 during the legal dispute between Epic Games and Apple. Although the speculation temporarily quieted down, it has now resurfaced with renewed vigor.

As this intriguing leak gained momentum, various other leakers and data miners chimed in with their perspectives, adding to the evolving narrative. Among them, a prominent figure known as Happy shared their insights in a recent tweet, which you can see below.
