Fortnite Season 6: Teaser hints at cube fate and gives sneak peak ahead of imminent release date

Fortnite Season 6 is almost here, with Epic Games formally announcing that the latest version of the battle royale phenomenon will launch on 27 September. A teaser image showing a robotic lama was published by the official social media channels of Fortnite's developer on Monday, though it is not clear what this signifies. A short message accompanied the image: "All great parties need a DJ. 3 days to Season 6." Players of the game can expect new skins, challenges and updates to the map, which has already begun to change after the mysterious purple cube rolled into Loot Lake last week. After a month of rolling periodically around the terrain, leaving scorch patterns – or'runes – on the ground, the giant cube reached its final destination. When it reached the lake, it transformed the surface into a purple trampoline.
