The next evolution of Fortnite is here. Epic Games has patched the battle royale game to introduce Chapter 2 Season 6, which adds a new single-player mission and Lara Croft skins, and more.

There is also a new cinematic, and it's the most in-depth and impressive to date. The video shows Agent Jones on a mission with some high-stakes consequences--check it out below.

Zero Crisis Finale

The new single-player story mission, Zero Crisis Finale, follows Agent Jones. He successfully sealed the Zero Point in a tower of stone. But during the process, it sent a "mysterious pulse" throughout the island, "erasing any advanced technology in its path and reshaping the landscape of the island."

IF YOU VENTURE TO THE EDGES OF THE PRIMAL BIOME, YOU'LL FIND GUARDIAN SPIRES PROTECTED BY MYSTERIOUS FORCES.

New Wildlife

Players will encounter all manner of wildlife on Fortnite's island with the Season 6 update. The creatures include harmless ones like chickens to deadly animals like wolves. Players can kill or tame the animals to gather materials for crafting. Epic also teased that "the most fearsome" predators have "yet to hatch," which certainly sounds like dinosaurs are coming to Fortnite.

Bunker Chests

New "bunker chests" are now scattered throughout Fortnite's island. These special chests contain "powerful weapons" such as rocket launchers and more that can range from rare to legendary. More weapons and upgrades, including the "chonkers" tire set," will come to Fortnite throughout Season 6.

New Battle Pass (with Lara Croft)

As usual, another season means another Battle Pass. This newest Battle Pass comes
