The trailer shows Agent Jonesy has clearly been busy during all of the chaos surrounding thevillain’s arrival. The roughly 90-second trailer sees Jones hiding behind a desk, until a phone rings. He’s then tasked with going into the now-exposed Zero Point in order to ensure no one escapes from the Loop. He drops the phone, but players hear a very interesting line from the other end, “And do not draw the attention of the seven.” The rest of the trailer sees the agent try to locate the best hunters across different realities, then diving into the Zero Point, back into the island. The final seconds give a visual confirmation thatFortniteis adding none other thanThe Mandalorian’s Mando and Baby Yoda.
The new elements being brought into theFortnitemeta should satisfy players who feel the game has gotten stale. The ambivalence of pulling characters from different realities really opens the door for any character to appear in the game. The focus on hunters, varied new weapons and gold bar system should keep players well engaged into 2021. While some may argue that other Battle Royale games have surpassed in popularity, themore than 15 million concurrent playersduring the Galactus event speaks otherwise.
However, not everyone will see these new changes as a good sign. A portion ofFortniteplayers long for the restoration of older map locations and other aspects of the game. Luckily, veteran players will be glad to know that Season 5 isbringing back Tilted Towers, with one big change.
Fortniteis free-to-play for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
