The original Fortnite: Battle Royale island map was internally codenamed Athena. The name refers to the first Battle Royale island used from the mode’s launch through Chapter 1, rather than to a publicly displayed in-game map title.
Athena changed repeatedly as Epic added and removed locations, biomes, and landmarks across the early seasons. Familiar places such as Tilted Towers, Loot Lake, Pleasant Park, and Retail Row were all locations on this same underlying island. That evolving map is why players sometimes remember many different versions of “the original map.”
A common mix-up is confusing Athena with Apollo or Artemis. Those names are associated with later Fortnite Battle Royale island projects: Apollo with Chapter 2 and Artemis with Chapter 3. Athena was also used more broadly in internal Fortnite naming, so the term can describe related Battle Royale assets as well as the original island. For quiz purposes, however, Athena is the canonical answer to the original island’s codename.
