Epic Games, the creators of Fortnite, and Bad Robot Games have seemingly revived their long-in-development mobile game collaboration. This one's called Spyjinx, and it seems to boast Fortnite's signature cartoonish style.

Only thing is that this is a totally new experience, with a focus on the art of espionage and becoming the perfect secret agent.

You'll have a secret hideout to build up and customise. This focus on building is once again quite similar to Epic's megahit shooter, though the difference here is that you're building a high-tech spy sanctuary, not rickety stairs and bits of cover.

This is fitting seeing as part of a secret agent's job is to try and lay low and be stealthy. If you've played a game like HITMAN, then you know the importance of having some obscurity (albeit Agent 47 is a hitman and not necessarily a spy).

Not only can you do this, but it looks like there will also be character creation and progression. I have no doubt we can expect unlockable cosmetics galore. 

No word on if you can create a character, but it could be possible. It's also possible that you'll be able to choose from different characters and customise them, but this is just a wild guess.

Aside from building, multiplayer seems to play a huge role in the game. It'll offer a mix of action and strategy gameplay, as mentioned here on the game's official website. Although multiplayer is a big part of the juice here, it sounds like there will be a single-player experience, too.

There's currently no word on when we can expect Spyjinx to launch, but we do know that there will be an iOS beta coming to those in Malaysia and Australia.
