There is so much to look forward to when Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3 goes live on June 17. Because there have been so many issues and delays, excitement around the new season has been growing steadily for weeks.

In anticipation of the launch, data miners and leakers have been working overtime to try and discover what new content will be in the game. They've already found some pretty interesting info, such as a flooded map and the return of rift beacons.

Fans and players alike would agree that there's so much to be hyped about for Season 3 of Fortnite. Here are the three biggest reasons to get excited.

3 Reasons to Be Excited About Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3

Underwater Map

One of the biggest leaks for Season 3 is that the map will be flooded and players will be able to swim around underwater. This was confirmed by two separate leaks.

An underwater map will be a really cool change for Fortnite, as it's something totally different that players haven't experienced before. It also gives devs at Epic Games the opportunity to add more content, like water vehicles.

First Full Season With Nerfed Controller Aim Assist

One of the biggest recent controversies in the Fortnite universe was the ridiculous controller aim assist for PC players. It was simply too powerful, forcing devs to nerf the assist back on May 28.

Even though the aim assist has been nerfed for a little while, Season 3 will be the first full season without it. Competitive keyboard and console players will certainly be rejoicing at this change.

New Skins

New skins will always be exciting for players and fans alike, regardless of when they come out. The new skins released for Season 3 will be no different.

There have been rumors flying around the Fortnite Twitterverse that a collab with Spongebob Squarepants is imminent, especially considering the new underwater theme for the map. Players might soon be able to play Fortnite as characters from the popular children's show.
