Fortnite’s storyline has kicked back into gear as its primal-themed season draws to a close. Today brings map changes, new challenges, extra-terrestrial warnings, and several hints at what next season may bring.
This morning, Fortnite received update 16.50, the last patch expected before its next season on 8th June. Eagle-eyed fans immediately noticed several changes around the island: a crashed helicopter near the dam, posters showing UFOs and friendly aliens at the beach, and flattened corn at the farm.
3pm UK time today brought a new set of “Foreshadowing” challenges live, where you’re asked to investigate that helicopter, as well as a series of smashed telescopes on the island. Does someone not want its inhabitants looking at the skies?
A closer look at the helicopter shows the logo for IO – Agent Jonesy’s organisation of suits who look after the battle royale island simulation. Who else might have arrived on the island, after Jonesy split from IO at the start of the season?
