Fortnite has teased the return of an enormous icon from its original Island, as the clock counts down to the game’s latest big season finale.
While not yet confirmed by developer Epic Games, eagle-eyed Fortnite leakers are confident this season will end in another of the game’s eye-catching live events – the first of 2022 – likely on Saturday, 4th June.
This afternoon, Epic itself issued a typically cryptic teaser with snippets of audio and an unmistakable logo at the end: the fan-favourite Mech (or Mecha Team Leader, to give its full name) which duelled and ultimately beat Fortnite’s Devourer monster in one of the game’s most memorable moments back in 2019.

The end of that fight saw the Mech, piloted by a character known as Singularity, blast off into space. Now, years later, it looks set to return.
Why is all this happening? Well, to cut five years of Fortnite plot down into a sentence, Fortnite is once again building up to an enormous face-off, as the Island’s villainous IO faction seeks to wipe out the heroic Agent Jones and the now fully-revealed Seven.
