Fortnite has shaken up the map once again for Chapter 5 Season 4 Absolute Doom, bringing new POI locations, landmarks, and map changes.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 kicked off on August 16, returning Doctor Doom to the Battle Royale to takeover the island. The iconic character has marked his territory with his Castle Doom POI and more huge Marvel changes dropping onto the map.
Epic’s 31.10 update has also unleashed the Doom’s Chosen mythic powers onto the island, which you can obtain by capturing the Isle of Doom floating island.
Here’s everything you need to know about all the new POI locations and every change on the Fortnite map for the Marvel-themed Absolute Doom season.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 new map
Season 3 saw a huge sandstorm surge over the Fortnite island as the Wasteland took over the bottom area of the map. However, Chapter 5 Season 4 has focused on the top part of the map and replacing Pleasant Piazza in the southwest.
These map updates have centered around Doctor Doom’s takeover of the island, featuring his own Castle Doom POI and various other inspired Doom statues, landmarks, and items across the map.
Castle Doom, The Raft, and Doomstadt are the three main newly introduced POIs in Fortnite. However, the landmark Doom’s Courtyard has also been included a named location visible on this season’s map. Every new named location added can be seen on the map above with red markers.
Additionally, a massive Galactus head mysteriously appears at the top right of the map, along with a Fantastic Four landmark, which is expected to be related to an upcoming collaboration.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 new POIs
Here’s all the new Chapter 5 Season 4 POI locations:
- Castle Doom
- Doomstadt
- The Raft
- Doom’s Courtyard (Landmark)
Castle Doom
Castle Doom is one of the new POIs placed on the Battle Royale island in Chapter 5 Season 4. This is home to Doctor Doom himself, who has placed the NPC boss Doombot wandering around the location. It is located northeast of the map towards the far corner and has replaced the Classy Courts POI.
It is a large castle as well as a forge, which Epic has described: “Its forge burns red as each metal clank rings ever closer to the completion of Doctor Doom’s impervious new armor.” It is not yet known what the ‘impervious new armor’ exactly is and what happens when this is fully crafted.
Doomstadt
Doomstadt is ruled by Doctor Doom within the Marvel Universe and lands on the island as another sign of his reign during Chapter 5 Season 4. It is a small village with several wooden and stone buildings, as well as a large Doctor Doom statue, which is also featured in a number of places around the map.
The Lavish Lair POI which was added at the start of Chapter 5 as a massive manor, has been replaced by the Doomstadt location for this season. There is also a nearby landmark known as the Fractured Four, which features a huge Fantastic Four logo to tease their arrival.
The Raft
Pleasant Piazza has been replaced by The Raft POI. This prison location is nestled around water as its own secure island, located southwest of the map and directly below The Underworld.

Doctor Doom has summoned The Raft to the Island, a prison for supervillains and extraterrestrial threats to be recruited as part of his army. Doom’s henchmen will be found wandering around the location, which when downed they can then be persuaded to fight alongside you during your Battle Royale matches.
Doom’s Courtyard (Landmark)
Just outside Castle Doom, directly west, is another new location called Doom’s Courtyard. Despite being classed as a landmark instead of a POI by Epic, it is featured as a named location on the island map.
The area pays homage to the new leader featuring a large Doctor Doom monument in the middle and is noticeably smaller than the new main POIs.
31.10 update map changes
Fortnite’s first major update arriving in Chapter 5 Season 4 has made a big change to the Battle Royale island by bringing Doctor Doom’s Isle of Doom to the map.
Isle of Doom
The Isle of Doom is a brand-new floating Loot Island that will feature in Fortnite until October 5, 2024. However, the overhauled Loot Island only has between a 5-10% chance of spawning per Battle Royale match, and it won’t show up at all in Ranked matches.
You will be notified mid-match before the Isle of Doom is about to spawn and then an icon will appear on your island map with its exact location. Once you’ve arrived, you will find Doom’s Cauldron placed in the center, which you will need to capture to be able to transform into Doom’s Chosen.
When Doom’s Chosen is activated, you will receive 500 Health and 500 Shield, unlimited sprint, a Shield Siphon after every elimination, and four brand-new abilities to use. This is why the mythic powers are rare to obtain as they are far superior than any other weapons and items you can get.
But, with probability being slim, when it becomes available on the map there will be a surge of players heading over to the floating POI. Make sure you therefore head over quickly and with some strong loot to be able to wipe out any enemies and be the first to transform into Doom’s Chosen.
31.20 update map changes
Tony Stark has made quite an impact with this update. Here’s what’s new on the map:
Landing Pad Camps
Six new landing pad camps have been set up by Tony Stark across the island. You can find them at South of Latverian Station, North of Grim Gate, South of Reckless Railways, West of The Raft, South of Pantheon Path, and North of Nitrodrome. These pods drop randomly during matches and may contain either Stark or War Machine Armories, giving you their full superhero loadout.
Iron Man as an NPC
Iron Man himself arrived as well. You can find him at the Other Windmill, North of Grim Gate. He’s selling:
- Stark Rifles
- Repulsor Kits
- Patch Up
The Marvel villain for this season has also received a reworked skin, Skin styles, and a range of cosmetics within the Absolute Doom Battle Pass as part of the patch.
