Fortnite Season 6 First Teaser Hints at Epicenter Ending, Wolves Leaks
The new Fortnite Season 6 teaser from Epic Games hinted at the already announced Epicenter Final Crisis event, but also included some images related to previous leaks that wolves will be coming to battle royale next season.
March 9 Epic Games released a detailed blog post, confirming the end date for the current season of the game, explaining its new solo event "Final Crisis" and the start date for Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2: March 16 .
The hype surrounding Season 6 has grown steadily since this information was revealed, with Xbox fueling more rumors about next season's content when they accidentally leaked an image tied to the new season .
Epic caused even more hype when they released a short teaser video via the official Fortnite Twitter account. While it mentions Ground Zero (and the upcoming Season 6 event), it also teased images related to last year's leaks that showed wolves could be coming to Fortnite in Season 6.
An Epic tweet with the caption "He gave everything to the Order... and for what?" — was mostly centered around a short thirty-second teaser video. In the video, Agent Jonesy (a character who is actively involved in the current story arc) issued a warning to the players.
"We've lost control of ground zero, do you understand what that means?" Jonesy asked. The character also hinted at what Epic's "explosive" solo event kicking off Season XNUMX could bring us, and revealed that it could include "reviewing the end of reality."
He's given everything to the Order... and for what?

Jonesy's warnings definitely indicated that the Final Crisis event would have huge implications for the game's universe and possibly its maps - something Epic is constantly updating, especially at the start of a new season.
In addition to Jonesy's lines, the video also included several images that could be related to Season 6, specifically some images of teeth, fur, and eyes that appear to be of a wolf or wolves.
So.. about this tweet. Take a closer look at the new teaser. 🙂 https://t.co/6GjVjuOBo9

These images are related to Season 6 leaks that were circulated during Season 5. In December 2020, prominent Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR revealed that "wolves will be added to the game later this season." Although the animals did not appear this season, they may appear in BR in Season 6.
The teaser also included two images of the number 10 (which some fans are taking as a hint that football superstar Neymar could be involved in the new season), as well as what could potentially be a new weapon in the form of a bow or slingshot.
With Chapter 6 Season 2 set to release on March 16, Epic will likely continue to fuel the hype as community expectations rise. Fans should be ready for the finale, and we will keep you informed any new information about Season 6 as soon as it becomes available.
