If not for the game’s unique take on the battle royale formula or abundance of skin crossovers, Epic Games’Fortnitebattle royale may be best known for its teasers. Despite the game taking a much more lighthearted tone than other battle royales likeCall of Duty: Warzone, fans have been slowly been introduced more and more to the lore surrounding the world ofFortnite,with terms like “The Seven,” the “Zero Point,” and “The Loop.”
Throughout its past few seasons, the game has begun to introduce an overarching storyline involving Agent Jones, who is tasked with bringing bounty hunters to theFortniteisland, or The Loop, to stop others fromescaping via the Zero Point,the connection between the island and reality.

Today, the officialFortniteTwitter account posted an image featuring what seems to be a battle-ready Agent Jones, surrounded by a war-torn version of theFortniteisland. The image is accompanied by the text, “If they won’t give us what we want. Then we’ll take it ourselves,” along with the Chapter 2 Season 6 launch date. This may be the final teaser for the upcoming season, as it seems to tie together theother teasers tweeted by the officialFortniteaccountin the past few days.
Just last weekend,Fortnitebegan tweeting clips featuring transmissions from Agent Jones, teasing what may come in Chapter 2 Season 6. One clip featured the character expressing stress over the instability of the Zero Point, and another clip revealed that he was afterinformation on The Seven, a separate organization that has also tampered with the Zero Point in the past. Even though Jonesy initially started off in the game as nothing more than a default costume with some alternate variations,Fortnitehas introduced fans to Agent Jones over the past couple of seasons, who they assume to be a Jonesy from an alternate reality.
While the game has only released tidbits of information and teasers as to who Agent Jones is and what exactly he does, fans have gathered that he is part of an organization known as the Imagined Order, which seemingly brings characters to The Loop, forcing them to compete in battle royale matches. A specialBatman/Fortnite: Zero Pointcomicis slated to release soon, revealing more information aboutFortnite’s entire Zero Point situation.
Chapter 2 Season 5 brought fans loads of new features, weapons, POI’s, and crossovers fromfranchises likeThe Mandalorian,Street Fighter, andAlien.
