Subtitles section

Fortnite has abandoned the storyline, it's the number one complaint I see that's only getting worse.

Well the creator of the story has spoken out and now we've learned what's changed, the reason for him leaving, and why many say Fortnite's storyline isn't the same.

You see the story has always tied the chaos together and turned the game from a simple battle royale to a fully fledged adventure that we the player had to craft.

Donov Mustard was the architect of it all and his boldest decision was choosing the island as the central character of his vision.

but ironically at the same time he shared exactly what would make him retire.

Now in the year of his death this simple sketch is reality and despite it being Donald's plan he had no idea achieving this would take a massive sacrifice.

Over six years I wanted to tell the origin story basically of the metaverse or of what if there was a shared reality where you could just go and be in this multiverse of possibilities.

People, factions, villains would come and go but an island would always remain constant.

When the meteor event first started, he wanted people to see the inevitability of this thing getting closer and closer every day.

What's going to happen when this hits the island?

Donald's gamble paid off, with more highs on Fortnite than ever before.

His way of telling a story through the environment itself, players were drawn to it, and what seemed like a simple meteor would be the birth of a six year plan.

The mystery of the visitor was one thing, but Donald decided to take this further.

While fans were busy trying to figure out the secrets of the crater, Epic was already full steam ahead at designing a story character that would move in real time.

The cube appeared and physically changed the map as it rolled around and went viral.

The entire internet came together sharing the theories as to what this cube was and they even came up with their own name, Kevin.

In a single day, the cube turned from a drawing on Donald's whiteboard to a character that the community felt the ownership of.

Something we all helped to create a story for.

They didn't explain why Kevin was here or what his purpose was, that was for players to figure out.

Epic would never reveal the story directly, everything was laid out with clues and callbacks to events, something they would forget in just a few years.

At this point, we had never heard of a Zero Point, it was only a handful of characters, but they were already dropping clues.

TheCube tried to blast a hole in Loot Lake, the same spot where the vault would be shown over half a year later.

Each event was connected to the last, while also foreshadowing the future, and this was a part of their genius secret.

Not only were players drawn in, as everyone could watch the same thing live, but they wanted to learn more about it.

Reasons why an ice king was covering the map in snow, or why a giant robot was fighting a one eyed monster.

Epic had us right where they wanted us.

Our love for live events made us desperate for a way to connect them.

The perfect time to introduce The Seven.

They updated the visitor from all those seasons ago, revealing him to be part of this brand new group.

And little did we know, they would be the key for years to come.

As they worked together to build rockets around the map, Fortnite was planting nostalgia for an event that was barely a year old, and this time they were doing it even better.

The next step in this multi year plan was hidden tapes and secret voice acting for our new characters, something we had never seen before.

With the groundwork

late it was time for Epic to kick things into full throttle.

Donald knew they couldn't make a sequel for a live service game, so he came up with this event called The End, taking Fortnite offline for three days before sending us into Chapter Two.

At first, it seemed like the story had moved out of the way, giving space to all the new gameplay features.

And while that was true, there was also something weird going on.

Weekly loading screens would show a hidden story between the Battle Pass skins.

This would be players first introduction to snapshots and we had no idea.

What was dismissed as a filler quest turned out to be super important.

Once again, a theme that no longer exists.

We knew about the Seven and their mysterious plans, but now it was time to have a villain.

Every good story needs a bad guy, and they introduced, in the best way, a massive live event with months of buildup.

This was the season where I personally got into the story, looking at the tiny clues hiding in Midas's office, figuring out the motives behind Ghost and Shadow, it was incredible.

Back then, when the devs teased something, players could piece it together on their own.

I had my own theories, others had theirs, and it genuinely brought fans together like no other game.

When the device was activated, no one predicted what would actually happen.

It was a beautiful surprise as we were introduced to Agent Jones in a fully animated cutscene.

This appealed to casual fans who were taken back at the first human in an event and it got storyline lovers racing to figure out who this guy was.

The beauty of all of it was how Fortnite was so good at asking questions.

For every answer they gave players it would come with ten more mysteries.

Who was on the phone?

Why is Jonesy wearing a suit and tie?

What was surprising about being able to hear him?

It was the beginning of the storyline's golden age.

Now they could introduce people with dialogue, character development, cutscenes.

There was so much potential.

But it was also time for Epic Games to bring the metaverse into play.

It had been lurking in BR for a while, but most crossovers or outfits, maybe a POI, it never affected the storyline, except Donald didn't want that.

I want to have met with everyone, with Marvel, with DC, and say, here's what we could do together.

Here's what the story is.

I would take people through the next six years.

Marvel was on the fence, but he was able to secure John Wick, opening the door for a comic collaboration with Batman.

Now the plan was coming to fruition, as Fortnite had announced a Marvel season which would clearly put the story on the back burner.

Now that's not what happened.

Donald found a way to tie Galactus in.

We learn that he was summoned to the island because of the black hole, opening the door for insane theories.

I mean, players love this.

It truly felt like the perfect balance between a metaverse and an original story.

Epic had struck gold.

They were keeping Fortnite's identity while padding it full of amazing characters.

And that's exactly what happened with Zero Crisis.

They found a way to merge crossovers with Agent Jones.

After years, the Zero Point was finally doing its job, allowing any universe to come to Fortnite, and the IO were the ones in control.

Every single reality log was an advertisement for an upcoming crossover, but it was also essential to the storyline.

There were so many layers to the Zero Crisis finale.

Once again, it seamlessly explained how the battle pass is relevant, with no sudden jumps between seasons.

It got to the point where Epic was willing to trust Donald entirely, designing massive live events around the Imagined Order, new factions like the Last Reality, and even casting the most expensive actor in the world.

I think I first started talking to Dwayne Johnson right at the start of COVID, but Epic wouldn't acknowledge it was him playing the foundation.

Donald wanted people to think they were hearing Johnson, but weren't sure.

To me, that was part of the magic.

Yes, The Rock was now basically the face of Fortnite.

If only they realized the problem it creates when your main character is also one of the busiest actors out there.

They had to film most of his appearances in one session, so everything needed to be planned in advance.

Luckily for Epic, Donald had planned years ahead, but internally, a battle was starting to happen.

We were about to head into Chapter Three, the culmination of years of buildup.

The Seven and the IO had been at each other's throats for centuries, so with the Chapter Two finale, they decided to light the match, triggering a war.

It felt a little rushed, and in the background, there was a reason for this.

Donald was arguing with other managers at Epic.

He believed that events were the future of storytelling, while they were moving resources into other things.

Then, the team began working on the most important event yet, Collision.

The build up to this was taking place, but fans were confused as to what was going on.

It wasn't until Fortnite announced a Marvel comic that we realized the bigger picture.

With every new issue, we would learn more about the storyline.

It felt like Donald was getting a ton of mysteries off his chest.

Like he needed us to understand this event, but players still felt weird about everything being in a comic.

After years of trying to figure it out ourselves, analyzing the environments and cosmetics, now everything was handed to us in a comic book, one that millions will never read.

Looking back, we should have had more appreciation, the cracks were beginning to form.

Collision was a success, people loved the idea of bringing back the mech, recruiting Agent Jones to the Seven, and finally defeating the IO in a huge battle.

Not to mention, we got our first tease of Jeno, a villain who had been hinted at for years.

From him being the motive behind the Foundation and Jones teaming up, to pictures of Jeno on the map, players were convinced a grand reveal was coming.

We expected it to be in a cinematic trailer, or maybe the next event.

We defeated Sloan in the IO, but clearly it was time for Jeno to take vengeance.

There was so much potential, so many theories, but everything went wrong.

When the final issues released, it exposed major problems at Epic.

Fans noticed that characters were drawn incorrectly, showing how rushed the artists were.

And when the comic aligned with Collision, we thought we would see a pretty accurate recreation, only for the event to be completely different.

So, should we trust the game or the comics?

These revealed the true story as seen through the eyes of Donald.

It was his actual vision, a live event where Marvel superheroes would help us bring back the mech and take down the I.O.

You could even see it in the season trailer.

Doctor Strange literally opened a portal on the battlefield and yet this was nowhere to be found in the collision event.

It wasn't even the important part as the comics also messed with the ending.

They changed an event that just happened.

According to Donald's true vision, we weren't chasing after Jeno for a grand finale.

The reveal we were waiting for this whole time, it happened in a comic, giving us only a handful of dialogue for Fortnite's biggest villain, and then killing him off.

It was teased at the end with a potential return, but it felt weird.

We had a storyline that ended with a huge cliffhanger, but secretly wrapped up everything in a comic book.

wasn't exactly the environmental storytelling that Fortnite became known for.

Behind the scenes, Collision was the final event where Donald would have the freedom to tell his story.

That's when it happened, and Donald decided to take a step back.

He had accelerated the storyline, explaining why the IO and VII war felt like a finale, but happened in the middle of a chapter.

This was the kind of event you would make if you were ending the storyline.

After going so hard on original stories, we took the foot off the gas with Vibin, and spent months with nothing really going on.

The seven started planning their own endings, like the visitor saying it was time to retire.

And yet this whole thing was designed with one person in mind, Donald Mustard.

Vibin was his last season.

I threw myself a firework show.

I got Darth Vader in, got Indiana Jones in, I got all the stuff that I needed for me.

That's why that season is called Vibin.

It's like a celebration.

Despite the magic touch and ability to bring tens of millions of people to the games, live events were now going to happen once a year.

And without Donald to supervise the chapter three finale, things fell apart quick.

The first season without him we watch as the seven were consumed by Crow.

This was meant to happen in Donald's story, but it felt wrong.

There wasn't much buildup behind it, and because half of the seven were played by famous actors or didn't have a voice at all, they vanished.

The Foundation's quote unquote death was confirmed by a helmet on the map.

The order in the imagined also just disappeared with no explanation.

Instead of wrapping up and starting fresh, Fortnite kept going with these beloved characters, leading us to the last event of Donald's reign, Fracture.

And if it's saying that word, most players have terrible memories.

In what became the most hated live event, fans considered it vague, confusing, and lackluster.

They pointed out how nothing made sense.

We spent all season preparing, saving houses from Chrome, only for the island to just explode.

Then we spent like twenty minutes doing chores while helping Paradigm fuse everything back together, but they never explained what this meant for The Seven.

The main villain was The Herald, and she had consumed our entire cast before imploding.

Fans were disappointed when they looked in the files and spotted cutscenes for the event that never happened, a sign that something went wrong.

Was it rushed deadlines, a smaller live event team, or a complete change in the story?

Luckily people forgave this because chapter four was here with a season that looked like some kind of prequel.

A lot of potential to fix these plot holes.

We had so many questions and there was no better time to learn.

Except none of that would happen.

The ageless and his oathbound kingdom gave us our best look yet into the beginnings of the IO.

It was arguably a great piece of environmental storytelling, but that was about it.

On the other side of the map, players noticed an ancient temple with a mysterious woman.

In the blog post, this was called the base of the reality warriors, until all mention of this was erased from the internet.

They would never talk about this place or who lived here again.

As for the bigger picture, we also had no closure from the event.

Players wanted to know what happened to Agent Jones, Paradigm, or really any of the seven.

Quest eventually teased that they were all different now and in grave danger, but there wasn't much explanation of what this meant.

There were also teases of a shapeless man who was secretly puppeteering the whole story.

It was becoming obvious this was the real Geno, but sadly he was never mentioned again.

We followed Amy, the scientist's assistant, as she hijacked the Riftgate on a mission to save the Seven.

She had built the body and transferred herself into it, but the official loading screen for this metal body was just aimed from chapter one, showing how even story quests were rushed.

She dived into the portal and as you could expect, we never saw her again and the entire story would be abandoned.

Our characters were thrown away to do all the amazing stuff off screen.

We hoped this was preparing us for their return in the chapter four finale, but if only we knew.

Kato Thorne arrived as a bloodthirsty vampire with the ability to time travel.

He seemed like one of the coolest villains yet.

He even collected artifacts like the seven's calendar and Midas's hand so clearly he was important.

We're gonna wait to learn more about Kato and figure out how he would slot into our world.

Wait, they killed him off with a quest?

They built this guy up for months and they got rid of him with one line of dialogue.

Turns out we only needed this guy for his time machine and Fortnite didn't bother keeping him around.

Time traveling wasn't even for story purposes.

Sure, we could have literally saved the seven with it, but instead, they used it to take players back to Fortnite OG.

Okay, most players could accept it was to explain Chapter One, but it felt forced, and they were getting into a pattern of randomly bringing back iconic characters to get us interested in the story, only to pretend it never happened.

Remember Sloane?

She planned this OG mission, but once it was over, she straight up vanished and hasn't been acknowledged since.

Jones is finally brought back for OG, only to drive around and prepare us for the event, one that was never explained in the first place.

It involved putting the time machine onto the rocket from chapter one, but we had no idea why, and despite the fact that seven were the whole point of this, we never heard from them.

Turns out this chapter four finale wasn't going to be a grand explanation or the return of the seven.

It was the Big Bang, an advertisement for a new beginning.

This new beginning wasn't just for Fortnite, but also Donald Mustard.

After an incredible adventure, I will be retiring from my role at Epic this month.

I am humbled to have been a part of the team that every day tries to bring joy and delight to the Fortnite community.

So, it sounded like he was moving on, but this week the true reason why he left was revealed.

By mid twenty twenty two, Epic was committing to make Lego Fortnite and racing.

To build all this stuff, it takes so many people and so much time.

Basically, the event team was starting to be needed for other stuff.

And it was devastating to me because I'm like, this is actually the magic.

And not everyone at Epic agrees with that.

And that's what we got to remember.

There are still tons of Epic team members who care.

With the tie in hand build up capturing the environmental storytelling that made this world so great, maybe we just need to give it time.
