Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 will begin with a special single-player narrative event starting on March 16.

Dubbed the "Zero Crisis Finale" by Epic Games, the beginning of the next season will let you play through the "conclusion of Agent Jones’ mission" - if you haven't been paying attention, he's the one who's been bringing everyone from The Flash to the Xenomorph to the battle royale (though I don't think we can blame the sea shanty emote on him). You'll be able to play through the Zero Crisis Finale when you log into the game for the first time during season 6, so no need to rework your schedule around it.

The end of the season also means your last chance to finish up the Beskar Quests and rank up your Battle Pass. You also have another chance to pick up the Breathless Blades Pickaxe by finishing the Epic Quests for Fishstick or Lovely - get it done before the season ends and the pickaxe will be unlocked "a few days" after season 6 begins.
