  "textContent": "In recent weeks, the leak world has been buzzing about **Blizzard** 's popular hero shooter **Overwatch** finally stepping into the world of **Fortnite**. According to reports, this massive collaboration will not only bring skins for favorite characters like Genji, Mercy, and D.Va but will also bring iconic maps to the island.\n\n**Epic Games** has yet to provide official confirmation, but fans have already noticed map changes inspired by classic **Overwatch** battlefields in newly released trailers.\n\n## Is Hanamura Returning?\n\nThe first detail that caught the eye in the newly released trailer was a traditional Japanese temple with cherry blossoms (sakura) outside. This location stands out for its resemblance to Hanamura, one of **Overwatch** 's most iconic maps.\n\nHanamura was one of the original maps when the game first launched in 2016, but it was removed from Quick Play and Ranked modes with the arrival of **Overwatch 2** in 2022. It seems quite logical to add this area, the home of Genji's Shimada klan, along with the ninja character's skins. The wave of nostalgia we previously saw during the Fortnite OG period seems to be blowing with **Overwatch** vibes this time.\n\n> OVERWATCH HANAMURA MAP CHANGE POTENTIALLY SPOTTED IN A NEW GAMEPLAY TRAILER 😳\n>\n> (h/t @ShotMarco3) pic.twitter.com/7LFgCfro18\n>\n> — Shiina (@ShiinaBR) April 30, 2026\n\n## Watchpoint: Gibraltar and Busan Possibilities\n\nAnother point of interest (POI) seen in the trailer is an area filled with tall buildings with a massive statue in front of it. Many players believe this location is Watchpoint: Gibraltar, one of the **Overwatch** team's bases around the world.\n\nIn contrast, some fans speculate that this urban settlement could be the Busan map associated with D.Va. Just like in the Overwatch Classic mode, that exciting atmosphere of the old days could be revived on the **Fortnite** island.\n\n> Act 3 will include Overwatch & other map changes!\n>\n> In the Rivalry Umbrella teaser we can see a Hanamura temple for Genji and another landmark with large buildings & a statue in front of it, which could be related to OW. pic.twitter.com/2hQn1QflMw\n>\n> — Wenso (@Wensoing) April 30, 2026\n\nOf course, it should be remembered that all of this is based on screenshots taken from a short trailer for now. However, if you are an **Overwatch** player looking to take a short break from the Ranked grind, **Fortnite** seems to be exactly where you need to be in the coming weeks.\n\n_For the latest_ gaming guides_and_ system requirements_, you can follow GamingAlly on_ Instagram_,_ Twitter_and Google News._",
