Fortnite has just concluded a stunning live event that saw the game’s storyline propelled forward in dramatic style, with a shock defeat for Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s heroic character, and an eye-popping unmasking of his ally played by Ben Starr.
Epic Games’ battle royale is now in downtime following the events of Shattered, the long-awaited conclusion to its latest season that saw players decide the fate of a months-long grudge match between Johnson’s The Foundation and his frosty rival The Ice King.
Shattered was unique as it offered two entirely separate narrative viewpoints from which to view its events, depending on whether you’d previously backed The Foundation or The Ice King over the course of the season. Players who backed The Foundation began the event in a bunker with trusty ally The Visitor (played by Clair Obscur’s Ben Starr) and long-time Fortnite protagonist Jonesy, picking up banter and clues to the mission ahead. Players who picked The Ice King, meanwhile, got a glimpse into his wintry fortress, and learned more about his mission to serve the game’s current major antagonist, The Dark Voyager.
As the two teams moved against each other, players briefly came into combat — though the fireworks were truly reserved for the showdown between The Foundation and The Ice King themselves, which players could follow close-up as they smashed up each other and huge chunks of the Fortnite battle royal Island. Ultimately, The Foundation lost — regardless of team, players were informed on screen that the overall winner of the season was not the former WWE star — and because of that, players saw him frozen solid, his ultimate fate left uncertain. The Ice King fared no better in the end, however, as he was double-crossed by The Dark Voyager, and seemingly reduced to atoms.
