Update:
The actual cinematic trailer is live now so I’m updating this post with the official—and nicer looking—video (above).
This was the final segment in today’s Fractured live-event which you can read about here.
Original Story:
The cinematic trailer for Fortnite’s upcoming Chapter 4, Season 1 has leaked online just hours before the big Chapter 3, Season 4 ‘Fractured’ live event.
Obviously big spoilers ahead and in the video.
Basically, it appears that Brie Larson’s Paradigm has lost the battle against the mysterious oozing Chrome that has taken over the map during the ‘Paradise’ season.
She’s forced to destroy the map entirely and piece together a new one, telling the players that she can’t help them anymore. From here on, they have to help themselves.

I admit, I’m a bit lost in the game’s current narrative, which they haven’t really fleshed out much recently. This propels us into a new Chapter narratively also, though it’s unclear what comes next even after watching the trailer.
I suppose Christmas stuff comes next! The Days Of Fortnite event, Christmas presents and so forth, all on a brand new map. That should be fun!
