Apollo was the code-name for the Fortnite: Battle Royale map used in Chapter 2. (Chapter 2: Season 1 to Chapter 2: Season 8) It was a reorganized version of Athena, and was located over Artemis, before it being reforged with Apollo, a part of Reality: 659 and bits of other realities to create Asteria. It is the second Island created by The Zero Point. Then after the season of Chapter 2's ending it flipped.
Storyline[]
Apollo was the reorganized version of Athena, which was sucked into a Black Hole created by The Zero Point during The End. IO then brought The Zero Point to The Bridge, to safely contain it and control The Loop without being noticed, but with IO controlling The Zero Point, the Island attracted many threats to it including The Last Reality.
Midas arrived and built a base in the center island. He possibly used the Zero Point in his Device on a attempt to push back The Storm and escape The Loop, ultimately failing and creating a giant tsunami. As a result, most of the Island was flooded, but the level slowly receded.
When the Island returned to normal water levels, a new danger approached, and superheroes from the Marvel universe were called by Thor to fight against the incoming threat, Galactus, attracted by the Zero Point's energy. The Devourer of Worlds arrives and pulls the Zero Point out of the ground in order to consume it, cracking it and taking everyone to The In-Between. However, the Loopers fought off Galactus with the guidance of Iron Man, Thor, Wolverine She-Hulk, Groot and Mystique in The In-Between, freeing the Zero Point, but leaving it damaged and deteriorating.
Agent Jones and The Foundation stabilized the Zero Point when it was ready to explode. It was repaired in The Spire and eventually returned to the Bridge by the IO. Raz arrived to study The Spire but got corrupted by The Cube's powers, which attracted an alien race known as The Last Reality. During the invasion, The Spire was the first location to be abducted. The Imagined Order declared war against The Last Reality and prepared a counterattack to destroy The Mothership hovering above the Island.
The Imagined Order succeeded, but caused Cubes stored in the Mothership to fall to the Island and progressively corrupt it. These Cubes were led by The Cube Queen. The Cubes conversed towards the middle of the Island, forming The Pyramid in which The Cube Queen used to summon The Last Reality through a portal during The End of Chapter 2. To preserve their reality, the Foundation freed Jones from IO captivity to help flip the Island, defeating the Cube Queen and closing the portal, revealing a brand-new island beneath it, Artemis.
Apollo was playable for a total of 782 days before it was flipped by its creator and The Seven, making it unplayable. The island was later destroyed by the The Herald during Fracture along with Artemis - The surviving fragments of both islands would become part of Asteria.

Transition to Chapter 3 and 4[]
After The End of Chapter 2, the Apollo map was flipped over revealing Artemis. Artemis is the map that was used in Chapter 3, it features the return of some of Apollo's locations such as Butter Barn, Pawntoon, and The Shark. Later on, during the Chapter 3 Finale event: Fracture, Apollo and Artemis were destroyed by the Chrome and fused along with Reality: 659 to create Asteria, officially beginning Chapter 4.

Trivia[]
- Apollo is the name of a Greek God. He is the god of archery, music, poetry, the lyre and the sun.
- Donald Mustard confirmed on a podcast that Apollo was created following The End event when the Zero Point reorganized the matter from Athena after it was destroyed to create a new island.
- The reason why locations from Athena are fusing with locations on Apollo is because that is where the locations were placed from Athena, like Tilted Towers appearing on top of Salty Springs, and Flushed Building crushing Plumberton.
- Two locations returned on the Chapter 3 map, Artemis, they are: Butter Barn and Pawntoon.
- Apollo was leaked in its unfinished form by @HYPEX on October 14th 2019 with obvious changes like Steamy Stacks being Power Plant, Sweaty Sands being Sunny Shores and Craggy Cliffs being Beachy Bluffs. Later on September 29th of the same year, @OotaMayoYT claimed that unfinished Apollo is nearly the exact same with a concept they made a while ago, and posted an image that nearly looked the same as the picture @HYPEX leaked, with notable differences being The Block replacing Homely Hills and and 2 unknown Landmarks replacing Pleasant Park and Retail Row. It is not confirmed if @OotaMayoYT's concept was made before or after Chapter 2: Season 1 began.
- Artemis is Apolloās twin sister, so it mightāve been hinted that there was an island below Apollo since Chapter 2 started.
- Furthermore, the end of the cinematic trailer for Chapter 2: Season 5 hinted of Apollo not being the only island.
