The Fortnite Volcano POI was hinted at in the teasers that Epic Games have been posting online in the run-up to the season 8 release date.
A Fortnite Volcano has long been rumoured to be coming to Battle Royale.
Rumours of a Fortnite Volcano were sparked after audio files for flowing lava was discovered by dataminers in Fortnite update 5.40.
It had been theorised by Battle Royale fans that Kevin the Cube could have ended up creating the Fortnite Volcano once it activated.
However, that turned out not to be the case - with the Cube instead bringing about big changes to Loot Lake.
