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

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?

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

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

Incredible video!

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

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

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 :)

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.

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

I finally found it… the perfect UKposts video when you’re eating

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?

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.

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😢

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

damn, why does fortnite lore deadass go hard

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.

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.

And then Donald Trump said “Hello Peter welcome to Fortnite”

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

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.

bro made a movie and thought we wouldnt notice

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.

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

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

Who else got a Fortnite ad while watching

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

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!

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! 💪

Where does Travis Scott fit in

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

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

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

idk why I watched the whole thing, I don’t even play fortnite anymore, I was that bored

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!

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.

Yeah no matter how many times I watch this I still never understand the story

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!

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

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!

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.

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

Only t5g can make me watch a 45min Fortnite storyline

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.

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.

The endgame is about to begin

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

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!!! 😁🎮

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???

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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!

Thank you for piecing everything together, especially Chapter 4

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

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

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

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

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.

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 🤯🤯

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.

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.

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.

You’re telling me UFC heavyweight champion and former light heavyweight champion Jon “bones” Jones is a secret agent in 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.

1 hour crew

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

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

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 😭

It’s crazy how in the next couple year this video will be like 30 hours long💀

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

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 did NOT understand ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING 😭🙏

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

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

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!

Dang, I didn’t realize how complex the lore got

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

There needs to be a movie about this

What we need is a storyline video linking save the world and battle royal
