Season 6 of Fortnite Chapter 2, nicknamed Primal, launched on Tuesday, introducing new features such as the option to create makeshift weapons and the introduction of wild animals.
The Primal season will also add several new characters players can use, including Tomb Raider heroine Lara Croft and football superstar Neymar Jr. Details on Neymar’s arrival are coming soon, said publisher Epic Games.
Following the game’s Zero Crisis finale wrapping up the last season, a mysterious pulse blanketed the island, erasing advanced technology and giving the island a more primitive look, said Epic Games.
In the words of the trail, “the island has grown wild – and so must you”.
