Fortnite Season 5 Opening Cinematic Shows New Skins And Vehicle
By Ford James ·
While we wait for the Fortnite servers to come back up, we've been gifted the opening cinematic for season five which shows off a new skin and some of the objects scattered across the map.
Today has officially been dubbed Fortnite Day and while the servers are down for maintenance, check out the the opening cinematic for the next 10 weeks. It shows off one of the new skins, llamas disappearing, gliders vanishing, the Durrr Burger sign in real life and a lot more crammed into the 63 second video. Watch below:
Right at the very end, we also get a glimpse of some of the historical and new objects we’re being introduced to, such as the All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV), Viking ship and a Moai head from Easter Island. No doubt all of these will be scattered across the map somewhere, adding themes to the locations we know and love.
Players will also be able to find rifts throughout the map. We haven’t played yet so we’re unsure how they work, but the accompanying strapline is “Test your courage and step through a Rift. You’re in for a wild ride.” It sounds like they’re going to teleport players to places, perhaps to other rifts throughout the map?
You can read up on all of the patch notes here, including a shotgun nerf, how to use the ATVs and more. Keep your eyes peeled on the site as we have some leaked skins to show off too.
