What is coming in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4 Theme teasers and theories so far Unlike previous Fortnite seasons, there has hasn't been a significant number of teases leading up to what to expect from Season 4 in-game. The only evolving storyline has been a hidden sub-plot with the Coral Buddies, which has seemingly reached its end with the arrival of the Nuclear age. However, much recently, it has been confirmed Marvel will be involved in the new season, with Thor coming to the game: pic.twitter.com/3AZQ4wjCsd- Marvel Entertainment (@Marvel) August 21, 2020 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Following this, Epic Games and Marvel have been posting a daily teaser image on social media, each with a different letter, selling out 'NEXUS', alongside messages such as "The prelude to War has begun" and "His warning is dire. Will they hear?" and "THEY cannot defeat HIM without working together". The Herald has found The Island.The prelude to War has begun.

Alongside this is a new Comic to be read in-game, with a storyline where Thor visits the island and loses his memory: This storyline has crossed over in-game with the appearance of Mjölnir - Thor's Hammer - which appeared on the Monday before the new season's arrival. It's found just south of Salty Springs: Watch on YouTube Finally, creative director Donald Mustard tweeted the following cryptic message: "It's ALL connected. Pay attention. The story is about to kick into overdrive..." It's ALL connected. Pay attention.

Could this be the 'Nexus' the promo images are spelling out? And does Thor travelling to the map confirm dimensions colliding? Will Agent John Jones show up again in the new Season? Hopefully we'll get closer to the truth in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4!
