===Teaser Analysis===
*The 1st teaser is narrated by a dejected [[Agent Jonesy (outfit)|Agent Jonesy]] who declares that [[The Zero Point]] is out of control. Wondering what the [[Imagined Order]] could do something but they do nothing and implying that it's not their style, [[Agent Jonesy (outfit)|Agent Jonesy]] refuses to see reality collapse when he has given everything for the organization.
*The 2nd teaser is a video used in a retweet to Neymar Jr's reply on teaser 1, which teased Neymar. It is a wolf with the text "Shhh..." written on the screen.
**This pretty much confirms that Brazilian Soccer Player [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neymar Neymar Jr]. will be getting an {{Icon Series}} skin in the future.
*The 3th teaser is with [[Agent Jonesy (outfit)|Agent Jonesy]] who is denied access to file 8752 relating to [[The Seven]]. Annoyed by having his access blocked by [[Imagined Order|The Imagined Order]], he threatens to go and take it himself.
**This teaser could have something to do with [[The Zero Crisis Finale]] or [[Agent Jonesy (outfit)|Agent Jonesy]] could ask player for help to find this confidential file.
*The 4th and last teaser shows [[Agent Jonesy (outfit)|Agent Jonesy]] with war clothes in front of a panorama of the [[Battle Royale Map|Island]] where fires which broke out everywhere as if a riot had started. The sentence of the teaser could indicate that [[Agent Jonesy (outfit)|Agent Jonesy]] would take the lead of a group to fight [[Imagined Order|The Imagined Order]] to retrieve the files he requested in the previous teaser.
