In it, Agent Jones has to seal the Zero Point (the magic thing that keeps Fortnite in a time loop) inside a big stone tower. However, when he does this, it sends a big pulse across the island which erases any advanced technology it touches, and turns everything a bit primal.Zero Crisis Story Cinematic for Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6Watch on YouTubeThis has caused a new prehistoric biome to sprout up in the middle of the map, turning the areas inside it all wild. There’s a big spire in the dead centre, with a village surrounding it.Animals are prancing around the island now too - like boar, wolves and chickens - and you can either hunt or tame these beasties to get crafting materials. The loot you gather from the wildlife can be used with spare tech you find lying around to craft weapons, letting you make things like rifles, revolvers and bows.The game’s websitealso mentions that “the most fearsome predators are yet to hatch”, so dinos could well be on their way too. Or other scary ancient monsters, I suppose.As always, the new season comes witha new battle pass, and a load of new skins to spend your hard-earned V-Bucks on. Lara Croft and Raven from Teen Titans are joining the fray, andit’s rumoured that Brazillian footballer Neymarwill make an appearance in the battle royale as well.
