Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 Release Time, And Everything We Know ...

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 ARG explained

Fornite has enjoyed using ARGs to tease its fans about upcoming story and game developments in the past (remember that burger in the desert?) and Chapter 2 Season 2 is no different.

It all began on February 16th when fans in São Paulo found a mysterious Fortnite advert featuring a golden hand print and a phone number in a metro station.

Ringing this phone number they received a message, which was, thanks to pedrocontinuous from reddit was translated from Portuguese into 'Yes sir, the agents were contacted. Vault access card acquired.' It was ended up a series of weird cat noises.

More posters were shortly discovered in San Franciso, Melbourne and other major cities dotted across the globe.

Dusty1739 from reddit called this phone number and heard, 'Agency recruitment (unintelligible) is a go. Happy hunting agents! The oil rig operation is a go!' This was then followed by more catlike noises - keep those cat noises in mind.

While this was happening, on February 16th the official Fortnite Twitter page changed its header to a picture of 8-Ball and Scratch. Now this could be seen as one final promotion for Chapter 1 Season 1 if it wasn't for the ominous gold hand-print sitting in the middle of the image.

More weird events would occur on the Fortnite Discord when a new bot, called The Agency, appeared and began to give users a new role - 'Activated.' This would also occur on Fortnite subreddit as well.

The action began on the official Fortnite Twitter page as well on the 17th of February when a transmission, seemingly sent from the golden hand organisation, was intercepted.

Multiple screens of this transmission have been posted on the Fortnite Twitter feed. This includes a blurry outline of a face, followed by a closer look at this face, though it's still hard to see, and some small pictures, which includes two people using gliders and logo for the evil organisation, Alter.

This second picture is also accompanied by the work henchmen or goons from various languages, suggesting that this message is either for, from or detailing the activities of the organisation's henchmen.

The third picture is a non-version of this face, but now with a mask placed upon it. The various version of 'Henchmen' is still present, but in the top-right corner sits a map and there are more images.

ARG-savvy fans from reddit placed this image in Photoshop and found that there was a new location hidden in the background. This has been identified to the new version of Eye Land, which sits in the middle of the new map, by several fans on reddit. The image hints at a base being built on the island, including a jetty and a helipad.

At the moment the last part of the transmission was posted on 18th February and is a picture of a stick of dynamite, surrounded by the word 'Danger.' It's unclear whether this is part of the original transmission or whether the sender has realised its being intercepted.
