In this series of sound files, Agent Jonesy narrates his travels through different realities, to recruit the best hunters from all universes so that the Fortnite characters cannot escape the loop / island.

Joe.
This is not ending here; On October 26, 2020, Donald Mustard, Creative Director of Epic Games, had a video call with Geoff Keighley, the host of The Game Awards. Mustard claimed that in this call he hid objects that would have to do with the future of Fortnite. One of these items was a Snake Eyes action figure from G.I. Joe.
