The official Twitter handle for Fortnite tweeted this, and definitely, it shows that the alien attack on the island is intensifying. Subsequent to abducting NPCs and supplanting them with Trespassers, apparently now, they are getting ready for a hard and fast attack. 

In view of what's known right now, there are just three POIs that fall inside the island's western side of the hemisphere, which could be identified with the aliens. 

Given that Believer Beach as of now has an alien presence and Coral Castle is set to be annihilated, this leaves Holly Hedges as a potential possibility for the ground attack following the Fortnite update 17.20. 

3. Map Changes

Following the update, some massive map changes are coming.

Believer Beach:

Apparently following the Fortnite update 17.20, the continuous party at Believer Beach may have been smashed. As referenced above, the aliens or maybe even the IO have assumed control over the POI.  

Holly Hatchery:

As expected and affirmed on various times over, Holly Hedges will undoubtedly turn out to be Holly Hatchery. Following the Fortnite update 17.20, it's anything but an aliens POI, and as well as parasites and nesting ground, players may experience other aliens NPCs guarding the area. 

Underground POI:

To wrap things up, Epic Games likewise posted a secret picture that shows what is expected to be a new underground POI. It appears to be a cave with a monstrous UFO half-lowered in the dirt underneath, which integrates with the entire alien invasion theme.
