The cinematic trailer, the intro, to Season 4 of Fortnite has already been leaked ahead of time. It shows the impact of the comet from the characters’ perspective. The video is overflowing with irony and references, mocking the most popular fan theories for Season 4.
Officially, the video for Fortnite Season 4 has not yet been released, but a user has already found it in the game files and uploaded it to YouTube. You can watch the intro while you wait for Fortnite to be back online. Currently, server maintenance is still ongoing.
Pure irony in the new video – References to fan theories
The video shows how the “Rust Lord” watches a movie at a drive-in theater, in which aliens attack Earth while the comet crashes. Certainly a reference by Epic to the many theories about the Season Pass 4 that predicted aliens.
In the second scene, you can see other Fortnite characters running away from the intense impact, while a “hotel sign” is dramatically struck.
It is also very nice how someone quickly drinks a shield potion to protect themselves from the explosion. Both characters in this scene are wearing dinosaur skins. Another reference from Epic: Many players thought Season 4 would have “dinosaurs” as a theme. After all, they were also destroyed by a comet.
At the end, the 4 characters appear above the crater, which one has already seen in earlier promo videos. Here, it is assumed that Fortnite shows the actual theme of Season 4: superheroes.
Currently, server maintenance for Fortnite is still ongoing. We do not yet know when Fortnite will be back online.
When the servers are back online, Season 4 will start and bring the new patch. Here’s what we already know about the new update:
