The ENTIRE Fortnite Storyline EXPLAINED! (2023) 

I HOPE THIS VIDEO MAKES YOU ALL PROUD!! Support us by using Code T5G when buying the Chapter 5 Battlepass!

i am here from the future to tell you this video is indeed a banger

It’s really crazy too see a shooter game turn into a story telling cinematic game incredible

The best Fortnite video I’ve ever seen. Fantastic job done! Gets me so hyped for the future of Fortnite

The fact that a side game mode ended up having more lore and care put into it than the main game mode (save the world) is honestly crazy to me.

the fact that epic was even able to make a narrative for a br game at all is pretty cool. can’t wait to see what saturday holds

As unlikely as it is, I do hope that the storyline gets focused on, and ironed out a bit in the next chapter.

Idea: They should bring in a story mode, full fletched campaign mode, single or multiplayer, with all the cutscenes, live events to replay again, have kind of a open world, take side quests, main story quest, cutscenes etc. How about THAT?

Incredible video!

Where would we be if this man and his team didn’t explain this to us, we’d all be lost

Chapter 1 - 3:22 Chapter 2 - 9:27 Chapter 3 - 28:23 Chapter 4 - 38:56 Hope this helps!

As someone who hasn't really followed the story in recent years, this was really great to watch to quickly catch up to speed, just in time for today's Big Bang event! Great video, hope to see more story updates/explanations in the future :)

been waiting for this video for so long... GRAB THE POPCORN!!

I’m really gonna miss this storyline that I’ve also followed for years and it’s sad Seeing the storyline end, but hopefully the new storyline is even better and entertaining to follow

I bet that Ramirez would’ve played a huge role in this too, considering she has quite a number of snapshots and was also the main face for stw. Unfortunately the voice actor left years ago so that’s probably why she wasn’t in the storyline.

man i always thought they lost track of the story cuz it was so confusing i didn’t know it was so much bigger. i can’t wait to see what they do for chapter 5

Question, how come the MEGA season was completely omitted? It played a part as to why Stellan's Rift Gate was destroyed and revealed a new member of The Last Reality, Triarch Nox. Not only that, Optimus Prime's transmissions in WILDS was never mentioned. His final transmission is what gave Slone the idea to use Kado Thorne's time machine to send Jones to the past.

Truly a splendid video. As a person who was always pasionate about the lore and tried to follow it at all occasions, I find this material as a perfect refresher before Chapter 5

Tommy I cannot praise you enough for how incredible this video was. My friends and I are dug deep into fortnite's storyline, and at the end of chapter 3 it almost seems like it wasn't followed much and we got lost, angry and confused. Thank you so much for explaining in grave detail the entire storyline, you've earned another sub! 💪

TIMESTAMPS: Chapter 1: “The Beginning” - 3:22 Chapter 2: “The Zero Crisis” - 9:20 Chapter 3: “The Zero War” - 28:21 Chapter 4: “A Fresh Start?” - 38:58 Season OG and Slones Audio Messages: 43:58

I am almost wondering if this "extraction" will fail or succeed to an extent. If the time machine breaks down during or after this live event, we could possibly be transported to the Chapter 2 island or a completely new island altogether, and who else could help us repair the time machine than Dr. Who or Dr. Emmett Brown.

This is not only hyping me up for the event on Saturday, but it is also making me curious about what will happen next, will we have any recurring characters from the previous chapter or adapt to new ones, what will happen with the storyline behind the C5 island, and if the main storyline will collide with the upcoming modes we will get next chapter (for example, will the BR storyline collide/link with the Lego mode storyline... or even have a story collision with STW, which would be cool to get a BR voiced character like Jones in STW)... geuss the future will have all my answers, but there are no need for any time machines like Kado's to enjoy a good story, even if it isn't finished

Epic supposedly "rebooting" or "resetting" the entire storyline up until the Big Bang Event has serious implications. pretty much 6 years of lore leading to absolutely nothing and nowhere and all going down the drain, I mean think about everything Epic literally never explained, what is the connection between Battle Royale and Save The World, where the rocket went after Season 4, what exactly the in-between is, who beings like The Ice King, Prisioner, Monster, Singularity were, where the rockets went after Season X, who and and what Midas was and whatever happened to him, who the Seven actually are, who the Last Reality and the Cube Queen are and where they ended up, who Slone knew The Foundation as when he removed his helmet and why she was enraged, who Geno is and where he is, what was under the Foundation's statue behind those doors at the bottom, what the reality tree was supposed to be, who the Herald and her chrome powers are, and the mystery of the Nothing, the Seven all went missing after Chapter 3, Amie went missing after Chapter 4 Season 1, what happened to the Oathbound and the Ageless, who really is Kado Thorne and his time machine, what were those strange lights in the background mountains throughout all the Chapters, and how exactly did we get to Season OG and what it is, who exactly was in those rockets during the Big Bang event. To make it worse, there's probably still even much more than all of this; there's a ton of unresolved lore going back years, half a decade and possibly even longer, that Epic NEEDS to explain.

i love how detailed this was, but i feel like some things were missing. A key part of Chapter 3 into Chapter 4 was Evie and The Peace Syndicate. What happened to them, and where did everyone related to the syndicates go? Especially because of the new Drift skins bundle in the shop being related to Drift being a part of the Fox Clan, who were close with The Peace Syndicate, alongside the other factions of Mega City.

Loved this Fornite history lesson, thank you for your hardwork!

The storyline has been great. I hope the future of the storyline is as great as this one Im sure I’m going to miss this storyline😢

I finally found it… the perfect RU-vid video when you’re eating

The Foundation was the Rock was one of the best reveals ever.

I feel like Epic Games is missing out of a lot of profit with this story. Sure, it's a cool feature in the game but if make movies and books about this story line, it could be massive. 2 december would be the absolute perfect moment to announce a Fortnite movie because the game has gathered interest again.

These editing and storytelling skills are out of this world. Keep it up man, love your videos.

You’re the only Fortnite creator I see that actually cares about the game. Literally begs for subs and likes. Without putting any work in. My guy here literally did his research and makes the game even better than it is. If there’s one creator I would like to support. It would be you. Do you have a creator name?

6:00 you never talked about the Vault in Loot Lake or the Unvaulting event and how/why the zero point appears so different than any other time we’ve seen it. Considering this event led to the volcano eruption that destroyed Tilted Towers and led to the new Neo Tilted (which you also conveniently left out) this is a pretty big sequence of events in the maps history to just skip over.

This video is actually a really good explanation of the complex Fortnite storyline, which is normally spread across countless forums and videos. GGS T5G! I use your code when I buy stuff sometimes, but I like to help out different creators. Still I always like new uploads from you!

13:13 I think Unicron would do a perfect villain for ending Fortnite. Some Marvel fans know that Unicron is the predecesor to Galactus before Marvel's first bankruptcy. Unicron is way more powerful often times refered to the worst villain as of being able to control reality(so can Primus wielder of the AllSpark), create evil clones(so can Kevin), devourers of realities(Galactus) and able to wield the stones.

I’ve never played Fortnite, but this 45 minute explanation was very, very entertaining.

I came here to check only chapter 4's storyline as it was so hard to follow for me, I got completely lost and I even thought Fortnite had left the storyline behind to just add random things to the map, it's really nice to find out they're still at it although I wonder if Donald Mustard leaving Epic is gonna change how they handle writing the story.

I started playing Fortnite last year when Chapter 3 had started and I found T5G’s channel when I was looking up the storyline of Fortnite to learn about the lore of the game. I’ve enjoyed his videos and I know this one will be as good and looking forward to Chapter 5.

I absolutely LOVED this video! It was so well put together and at some parts it felt like I was watching a movie! I love getting refreshed on the storyline and this video did its job right. Keep up the amazing content, Tommy and team you’re all doing great!

Love yalls storyline vids. I got lost with the story in chapter 4 and forgot about so much of it. This has explained every thing

damn, why does fortnite lore deadass go hard

This is truly incredible!!! I am just lost for words and nothing can describe how amazing of a story teller you are T5G!!! You are one of the Fortnite creators that deserve an Icon skin and is always up to date with telling an updated part for the story line on Fortnite! Donald would be happy to hear this story continue to the very end!!! 😁🎮

How fitting that the beginning of the storyline on the chapter one map also ends there with this new storyline direction. I’ll miss chapter one’s map, and I hope we see it again but I’m excited to see what Epic does next

Thanks for this video. I stopped playing in Chapter 3 Season 2, but I came back in Chapter 5 Season 1. Thanks for filling me in on everything I missed.

0:00 Imagined order 3:24 Chapter 1: The beginning 9:29 Chapter 2: The zero Crisis 28:23 Chapter 3: The Zero War 38:58 Chapter 4 A Fresh start Whoa, who would have thought a game like Fortnite would be so rich in lore!

I always wondered about the Ice and Fire Kings….now it makes more sense. It turns out the ice king was good all along. This video will be documented as one of the most important in terms of the history and story of Fortnite for years to come. This is you and your team’s grandest work. Amazing job!

This breakdown skips most of the clan stuff during chapter 4 that happened around the time Mega City showed up, which makes me think none of that was really that important in hindsight. Filler stuff. Regardless, this is the clearest breakdown I've heard of the entire story so far, and I've tried to watch a couple. Excellent vid and breakdown! I feel fully caught up even though I've been playing since ch3.

Me still not getting it 💀

A good video to watch whilst eating, honestly satisfies me fr

This is why I like fortnite it’s not because of the characters , the live events it’s because of the story to the game

The storyline videos are what made me a fan of Top5gaming in the first place. Love this

Man Finally an explanation I been playing since roccet rides, OP Scar, Golf Carts First Intro LOL YET I HAVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD ANY OF THE EVENTS OR CONNECTIONS LOL UNTIL JONESY IN A SUIT I AINT EVEN KNOW THE GAME HAD AN ACTUAL STORY LINE LIKE IN BATTLE ROYAL 🤯🤯

man the end nearly made me cry XD Its really poetic with the song and slone saying "keep the campfires burning jones" man, fortnite really is more than a video game! Thank You Donlad Mustard

Great video! This video really recaps well everything that happened in the storyline! The storyline begins with a meteor, and ends again with a meteor! I have a feeling they will soft reboot the storyline in Chapter 5, so this also feels like a tribute to everything that happened!

All I gotta say is that, storyline looks great. BUT. I hope Epic does not overcomplicate the game. keep it simple and fun. Great vid btw.

While I don’t have a problem with the different collaborations Fortnite does like with marvel, I do think it was a mistake evolving the collaborations into the storyline

thanks for the video, I watched it all in one sitting, it was amazing. Fortnite isn't just a shooter game, it's a story, a heartwarming one, something unimaginable, something that will never go away when it ends. Now we wait, for the big bang. We wait for what will happen next, good or bad, happy or sad, predictable, or not.

Finally! I was waiting for an update on the lore! Ive been confused without it

Another amazing video...🙏 Thank you for everything you do for this community. Donald's story was Epic and I can't wait to see what the future brings.

I have a civilization project for one of my classes in school right now. Me and my two friends are doing one on Fortnite. We can be creative and it can be on whatever we want so we chose that. I can’t say how much this is helping us with our project right now bro. Thank you!

its channels like this and videos like this that allow the community to follow one of the most all over the place storylines in gaming thanks T5G

Well done to T5G and the team…… for making the video explaining why we are here and how it began…….extremely well done you should be proud T5G

fortnite's storyline is better than most of marvels shows/movies recently 💀

I just started playing Fortnite with Chapter 5. Although I missed the events detailed in this video, it’s cool to be in on the fresh start that this chapter brought. Great video!

I remember the last log that we hear "Keep the campfires burning Jones, wherever, and whenever you go" That was before the alternate realitys, aka rocket racing, the medallions and more.

Loved that this video was a little slower paced. (Sometimes you go too fast for me 😜). The one thing I don’t understand is why Epic didn’t release the footage of the Zero point protecting itself. How would anyone understand what happened if it weren’t for leakers? The storyline is a huge part of the game for me, so I hope they have a strong comeback soon.

10:26 erm actually midas was a former member of the IO before he was kicked out for his curse.

That ending is actually mad 😢😂 it seems they've found a way to make a brand new type of storyline from here on out too, a fresh start, look forward to it. What a video

Someone should make this full movie serie and add more as the fortnite lore evolves. Like. Each chapter - one movie. YES. I'd sit for 5 hours watching detailed fortnite lore.

Huge effort! Great job Tom. Appreciate it.. I see you. Keep the vids coming..

Thank you for piecing everything together, especially Chapter 4

All this so epic can have an excuse to add pop culture characters to the item shop 💀

This is some crazy deep lore just for a cartoony gun fighting game

The constant content from this guy always gets me hype!!!!

Only t5g can make me watch a 45min Fortnite storyline

When he said “ now that they escaped the rift, death is now permanent” I can just imagine someone shooting one of them, and instead of going back to the lobby. They just lay there slowly decomposing

I love this I’ve been following the story line for years and this shines a new light and answers a lot of questions thanks

Why doesn't Epic Games make an animated movie about the story of the game, it'll break the internet

I love storyline videos from you T5G! Your commitment to understanding is true hard work❤

waiting for this vudeo since the build battle live. *worth it*

Only one thing that is kind of a lose end is the poi Brutal Bastion, were the supposed past seven were to exist, as well as the conflict between fox clan and mega city and the mastermind behind it (who I forgot his name xD) that was connected to the last reality. As well how does the Herald relate to the Cube Queen? They have nothing in common (design wise nor type of corruption)!

Hey Tommy! I don't know if you remember, but last Thursday (thanksgiving) I played with you in box fight pvp, gave an idea, and asked when this would release! Happy to see it finally release! :D

I definitely appreciate this because I love timeline videos, but wouldn't it have been better to wait until Chapter 4 officially ended and moved into Chapter 5? It'll feel like it's incomplete

10:04 ok, you got Midas all wrong. He got his powers after helping a satyr favored by Dionysus, the god of wine. I can't spell his name, my bad. But after he turned his daughter to gold, he then asked Dionysus to reverse the curse

Fortnite may be goofy, but when you get into the lore it gets REAL.

Slight error: Only the Scientist, Origin, and Visitor were chromified: we don't know exactly what happened to the Foundation and Sisters other than that they disappeared. Also Shimmerdusk quests arent canon

I just hope they don't leave... EVERYTHING behind. It'd be nice if wherever we are going held the answers to questions of the past. Did Geno ever rebuild himself???? What happened to the Chromed Seven???? Did they turn evil????? I really hope they don't leave those questions unanswered... Even an audio log will do it for me at this point 😭

Damn did not realize how much I missed by taking a break from aliens to the chrome.

the scientist searching for his wife in a giant mecha sounds awfully like Evangelion.. Where’s my Evangelion crossover Fortnite???

This was exactly what I needed. I never really knew the storyline cause Iv'e been fighting off the sweats the last 5 years! Peace and Love to all.

Have not watched this yet but I know I’ll learn somthing! Thanks T5G for the amazing storyline vids and more!

My favorite part of an event Slone: any last words jones? Mech smashed slone into the ground* Jones: um… look out?

I have a question. What is that symbol on most of the technology that looks like a circle split into three parts?

I am also sided with Dr. Slone. But I hail Lord Redstone. Redstone's(AKA Dr. Soundshock)reality sides with Slone and they both summon Unicron and he betrays them and slowly devours the world while summoning monsters to stop everyone attempting to restore reality.

Good thing this legend makes these videos so we are prepared for what happens next!

As someone who knows nothing about Fortnite lore it’s always felt similar to Kingdom Hearts lore because it’s always felt all over the place

I also feel like the ice king is still alive but some of the items are now free from his kingdom

I am so hyped for chapter 5🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Who else got a Fortnite ad while watching

THIS IS WHAT I NEED!! I DIDN'T PLAY THIS GAME FOR A WHILE, NOW I'M TRYING TO CATCH UP!!!!🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for this video! I recently started playing Fortnite and I don't exactly understand what my friends talk about (they've been playing since chapter 2) so this filled me in on most everything I need to know!
