The Fortnite Season 4 trailer was just released by Epic Games! Surprisingly, Epic released the trailer a day before the new season. This is usually reserved for a launch day, but there is no doubt that this was the right move. The trailer has increased the hype for the new Fortnite season, which is scheduled to come out on Friday at 2 AM Eastern Time.

This article will show the entire trailer and break it down. The trailer features new items, game mechanics, Battle Pass skins, and much more.

New Fortnite season will bring vampires and Ahsoka

Ahsoka Tano, a popular character from the Star Wars universe, will come to Fortnite in Season 4. She will join a few other amazing characters, from a vampire with wings to Khaby Lame.

The Fortnite trailer begins with a moon eclipse and shows a new named location. The second scene shows a time machine, and interestingly, the date on it is March 20, 2020. Kado Thorne, a new Battle Pass character, used the time machine to go back in time to collect Oro’s head. In the present day, Kado is a vampire and likely a bounty hunter.

Chapter 4 – Season 4 will likely unvault Kinetic Blade, a popular weapon from Season 2 of the same chapter, as it was spotted on Kado’s back. The trailer shows several new items, including the Shield Breaker grenade and a device that disables laser detection. Interestingly, this same device is a deployable turret, which was leaked earlier this week.

Another leaked weapon, Rocket Ram, was also shown in the trailer. This seems to be a melee weapon used for destroying walls. Midas’ Drum Gun can be seen near the end of the trailer, as well as a vampire version of Kado Thorne, who seems to be a primary antagonist of the upcoming Fortnite season.

This is a cinematic trailer for Fortnite Season 4. Epic Games will likely release a gameplay trailer on Friday, shortly after server downtime.
