Fortnite Season 6 will launch next week with a single-player event

Epic has announced that Fortnite Chapter 2 – Season 6 will start on March 16, when it will kick off with a single-player narrative event.

Titled Zero Crisis Finale, the solo experience will centre on Agent Jones and act as a bridge between Seasons 5 and 6.

“When you first launch into the new Season, you’ll play through the conclusion of Agent Jones’ mission in the Zero Crisis Finale,” Epic said. “The aftermath of this event is sure to shape Reality as we know it.

“Don’t worry, the Zero Crisis Finale is a solo experience and you can play through it whenever you first log in during the Season.

“Want to watch it online first? We’ll share details soon on how you can watch the global premiere with everyone, beginning with our most ambitious story cinematic yet!”
