![]() How did we get here? It may be an intentional mystery. There's a time-traveling vampire named Kado Thorne who's been stealing stuff from the island's past, and as players, we've been tasked with breaking into his vaults to steal them back. But this whole thing with the syndicates hasn't been mentioned since, and those characters haven't been relevant at all.Īnd now we've arrived at the actual heist season. During the last month of the season, earthquakes began to regularly rock the island, and once Season 3 began, a huge section of the island collapsed and revealed a dense jungle underneath.Īpparently Slone, a long-absent villain in the plot, had been stuck down there performing archeological research to learn about some ancient and powerful people who used to live on the island before leaving for space. In Season 2, the plot involved helping a bunch of Mega City crime syndicates-not the Most Wanted or Cold Blooded, even though the latter still had their vaults all over the place-get along with each other in order to defeat the threat of a creepy guy named Triarch Nox and his Unseen syndicate, who's trying to wreak havoc on the island for reasons that are never revealed. The only reference to the Seven since Season 1 is a calendar in Eclipsed Estates that shows each member's symbol. There was a single reference to The Ageless in Season 3, but nothing illuminating in the least. nor Stellan, nor the Most Wanted or Cold Blooded, have been referenced at all since then. Mega City fell out of the rift in the sky even though it landed on the opposite end of the island from where the rift was, and the Japan biome joined the island. But we'll circle back to that.Ĭut to Season 2. It's impossible not to draw a line from this event to the heist-centric Last Resort. That event had some plot: We were helping a criminal faction called the Most Wanted steal stuff from vaults belonging to a rival group called the Cold Blooded. Separate from that, we got the Most Wanted event at the end of Season 1. After A.M.I.E.'s questline ended, Stellan claimed somebody had changed the coordinates in the portal and locked them, and that something bad was probably going to come out of it. was very concerned about this portal, which could connect to other realities, and she wanted to use it to save The Scientist-one of the members of the the Seven who was eaten by Chrome at the start of Chapter 3 Season 4. That season, dubbed Oathbound, involved a character named The Ageless-he was the boss who roamed The Citadel, and a snapshot of the founder of the Imagined Order-and another, Rift Warden Stellan, setting up some kind of portal at the behest of an entity called the Shapeless Man. Each season in Chapter 4 has been self-contained, not directly following up on what happened immediately before, even though what happened immediately before was usually a tease for what was coming next. This isn't hard evidence that Chapter 4 Season 2 was definitely supposed to be heist season, but it does make a lot of sense. ![]() The problem? This current season, Chapter 4 Season 4, is Season 26. The details here, which were datamined rather than coming from an insider source at Epic or some other studio working on the game, say some of the files related to the major new locations in Last Resort are marked as "s24," meaning they belong to Season 24 of Fortnite. This is firmly in rumor territory, but this is the sort of thing that, if true, would help explain why the overall Fortnite story has been broken down for so long. Now Playing: Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 LAST RESORT Gameplay TrailerĮpic is so tight-lipped about, well, everything, that we don't have a lot of hard info about the various ways that Epic has pivoted off its plans-technically, we don't really have any firm proof that it pivoted at all.īut a new Fortnite leak might give us a big clue: It indicates that the current season, Last Resort, with its new map locations and heist activities, may have been intended for Chapter 4 Season 2 way back in March of this year. ![]() By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
