A resourceful Fortnite enthusiast has creatively recaptured the nostalgic charm of the game’s Chapter 2 map with an intricate clay model. This detailed sculpture includes nearly all the crucial spots from the Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix island map, unveiled this past November.
Despite being less than a decade old, Fortnite has evolved dramatically, sparking nostalgia among its player base for earlier chapters. Epic Games has smartly embraced this sentiment with its Fortnite Remix events. The Chapter 2 Remix takes fans on a nostalgic journey, blending old favorites with fresh content and collaborations featuring iconic figures like Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Ice Spice.
A Reddit user, SMPlushFilms, has turned this beloved map into a tangible masterpiece. Handcrafted from colorful modeling clay, this sculpture beautifully mirrors the island’s layout, spotlighting some of the most iconic Fortnite locations. For longtime players, these familiar spots are instantly recognizable and filled with memories.
The clay sculpture, by SMPlushFilms, captures almost the whole Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix Island in stunning detail. Crafted in vibrant hues, the sculpture took about a week to complete. It does an admirable job depicting not just major locations, but also the subtle topographical features of the map. Highlights include the Weeping Woods, Snoop Dogg’s Doggpound mansion, situated prominently in the center, and Steamy Stacks off to the northeast. This model also features the towering mountain shadowing Misty Meadows, and Ice Spice’s transformed Shark Island, now aptly named “Ice Isle.”
One key locale, the Rig—an expansive industrial site near Slurpy Swamp’s coast—is notably absent. However, SMPlushFilms has acknowledged this oversight and promised an update to include it.
The Fortnite community on Reddit was quick to shower praise on this artistic endeavor. Many lauded SMPlushFilms for the dedication and skill involved in the project, while others commented on how the distinctive map locations could evoke fond memories with minimal details. Some even likened it to another fan-made creation that depicted the Elden Ring map in a low-poly style.
Fortnite continues to invite players into a globally-shared virtual playground. Whether battling to outlast everyone else in Battle Royale, participating in live events, or exploring creator-designed worlds, the game offers endless experiences. Released on July 25, 2017, and running on Unreal Engine 5, Fortnite is optimized for various platforms and remains one of the most engaging multiplayer experiences out there.
