Some information for people who are interested in Fortnite lore:In the Batman comics, Batman actually ESCAPES the loop, and it turns out skins like Eternal Voyager, Bandolette, Magnus, Fishstick & some others are no longer trapped in the loop either!

The central theme of Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 may revolve around characters trying to escape the loop. The season will also see the Batman Zero Point comics storyline running in tandem with it.

Data miner Shiina BR believes the comics will reveal the main antagonists of Fortnite. The data miner also believes that Batman and a few other characters will manage to escape the loop.

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 will have a battle pass with a few original skins. Although the announcement of the Batman Zero Point comics has fueled the speculation that the battle pass will be DC-themed, data miners have gone on to say that the battle pass won't be entirely DC-themed.

Kevuru Studios, a studio that has previously worked on a lot of skins for Fortnite, recently posted a few skins on its Artstation account. These skin renders are reportedly the skin concepts for the battle pass in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6.

The internet has been speculating that there's a chance that two to three skins from that entire render will make it into the game.

Players can also expect a few changes to the current map in Fortnite. The Zero Point is very unstable right now and can explode at any given point.

The explosion may cause some new POIs to take shape, but it may also bring back some old POIs to the map. Either way, the map will experience some transformation after the live event in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6.
