Ghost and Shadow are new additions to Fortnite Season 2 Chapter 2. After a buildup of teasers and hints pointing towards what was to come in Season 2 of Fortnite, Epic Games threw a curveball and released two factions of agents and spies into the game called Ghost and Shadow.

In hindsight looking back, had everyone known agents and spies would be the theme of Season 2, all of the teasers would've been obvious. Regardless, covert operatives have invaded the island and tons of fun is in store for gamers.

The new mode will allows gamers to play in spy games and discover new locations on the map.

After buying the Season 2 battle pass you can recruit a team of agents and choose which faction you want to join, either Ghost or Shadow.

On the left is Ghost and the right is Shadow. The only real difference between the two is their outfits. With each of the agents, once you unlock them through a trial of Daily Briefings and leveling, you will be able to then choose if they will belong to Ghost or Shadow.

After joining the game in one faction you can infiltrate enemy bases and sneak into hideouts until you face off against the opposing faction's boss.

Ghost and Shadow has added some new fun after a stale ending to Season 1.
