Fortnite NEEDS a Story Mode.

Fortnite wants to tell a story so bad but is held back by the fact that battle royals aren't really the best game to be story driven.

The worst part is, they’ve already tried something like this. Back in chapter 2 season 6 there was a replayable intro that every player that booted up the game for the first time that season experienced. It was completely story driven and explained the story and background for that season and it’s purpose. But since then, a single player story driven experience has NEVER even been thought about again.

Remember AMIE? The Scientist’s ai who was oddly obsessed with him and was our main narrator throughout most of chapter 3. We even help make her a body so she could go looking for the scientist. I’m still waiting for that plot line to be continued because I AMIE and the Scientist are my favorite characters.

As A Save The World player myself they killed our story we never got updates never got a full story because BR took over. I'm afraid they would do the same thing to a BR story mode with Creative or Lego. All the focus would go into other modes and BR Story mode would end up like STW dead and the occasional season dlcs.

0:54 correction: Fortnite HAD a storyline, and it DID good at telling it.

He's right. He's said everything I would say, and he said it well. as fun as wiki dives can be at times, having a dedicated story mode rather than needing to go out of our way to find old cutscenes from past seasons that you missed, or even needing to read the comics, having the option in-game would not only help those who want to know more about these characters, but it'd also introduce majority of players to the fact that the game has a story

I joined the Fortnite meta, mid December 2023 and I've felt the same way. A Fortnite lore story mode would be an amazing way to revisit or experience the old chapters for the first time. Imagine if players got to play the story as characters from the battle passes, they missed out on. Great video!

Imagine actually being able to play through zero war

I honestly think it would be a cool gamemode where for every season, there’s a new campaign. If you completed the older campaigns, you can replay them. This would help so many players feel connected to the story. It doesn’t help that “back in my day” Fortnite would usually have an end of season event every other season. Now it’s reserved for end of chapter. Imagine you, Jonsey, and Hope team up to destroy the Society and get Peely. Then, in a cutscene after the event, Zeus and Ares come to the island, destroying the Society. That would create SO MUCH HYPE while your waiting for the new season.

I was about to hate watch this because I hate people complaining about Fortnite because it’s “Fortnite” but DAMB you were absolutely COOKING with these ideas! Keep up the good work!

I hope they have a whole chapter rapping up loose ends from old chapters. Like what happened to the seven, the oathbound, the groups fighting in mega city including triarch nox the herald who just up and vanished. and many more.

If they do decide to go in the direction of a story mode they should still do hyped up live events.

What would truly be a good feature to this “Story Mode” is a terminal type thing where you can look up terms or characters and get everything currently known about them and it’ll update every time you find out more. Most will not know who “X” is, or what they are. The terminal would only update when a certain character talks more about them. Like for example, maybe Evie says something about “X” directing them to an objective to Thunder. It could possibly be canon a character is updating this terminal if this was a thing.

I think we should get a Fortnite show or interactive game (kind of like a Telltale game) and each episode would be about a unique character that we have yet to have any significant lore on (like Nezumi or Ava) and it would explain who this character actually is. Their reality of origin, what our character does and their abilities, and their story that shapes them into the skin we know in fortnite. The end of each episode will show how each character entered Reality 0 (the battle royale island), via sideways rifts, or through willingly or forcefully going there in some way. I want something different from the battle royale story that should have ended like a year ago... ...also the fact that one of your friends is named Helsie Simp is kinda crazy💀

I agree, a story game mode is what we need. It tends to be on us to help tell the story through films because Epic can't seem to do it themselves. Also Thanks for the little Butter Barn cameo😉😉

Guys we NEED more people to see this, especially Fortnite themselves! An idea like what he has in mind is perfect for players wanting a special experience. Also just to add on to what he was saying imagine in certain levels they make you play as a certain skin so you can play as multiple different characters in whatever story they tell and maybe.. they could put collab characters in the story mode but that’s a reach.

The thing about the story, is that they no longer have the time to develop the characters and make them feel like actual threats. The villains of the stories often end up having their story go "oh look, a new villain with new powers and the fate of the island is at risk. Nevermind they died 2 months later in a quest line." It got stale after they removed the IO and last reality from the story. The Herold, died in 2 months. Triarch Nox, where did he go? Kado Thorne, Died in 2 months. The society, hunted down by the gods after 3 months. The villains cant be threatening if they die so fast

11:04 YES PLEASE! THIS IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA I get that they want to sell the battle passes as an exclusive thing, so that way they can still make money and whatnot, but there are genuinely some skins (like meow skulls) that I missed out on getting and want now that I look back on it. And it’s not like this is entirely impossible, they have done this kind of thing before by making sparkle specialist a reward for a tournament. I would pay any amount of v bucks, money or whatever to be able to go back and get rewards from battle passes/seasons I previously participated in. If epic games ever sees this, they at least need to hear you out on this concept because it is a great idea and they can still make money off of it. To hell with you folks talking about “mY fOrTnItE aCcOuNt’S vAlUe” IT HAS NO VALUE YOU CANT TRADE OR SELL THE THINGS YOU OWN LIKE IN ROCKET LEAGUE, THE ONLY VALUE YOU GET IS CLOUT VALUE, AND THAT VALUE IS NONEXISTENT, SHUT UP. But yeah rant aside, I agree with you about this idea man, they should definitely implement it into the game sometime, so spit your facts my man. (P.S. epic games please let me have the funny emo cat girl please bro 😭

Dude, I absolutely LOVE how you edit your videos. The in-betweens and references are great. You really do go in depth about how a hypothetical story mode could work and I honestly think that they really should try to do that.

Hear me out, every old chapter has a small open world, maybe one open world with combined chapter elements. Each season has 10 mission related to the story that unlock that page in the battlepass with special styles for people who owned those skins and in those missions there are challenges and a base reward, the base reward could be 30k exp, but if you buy the story pass for that season you can do challenges that unlock cosmetics from that tier and after completing challenges you get the skin,
