One of the more bonkers crossovers in recent memory may have gotten started inside of Fortnite. It seems as if a Tenet object has made its way inside of the popular battle royale, pointing to the beginning of a new event for Fortnite.
Epic's multiplayer shooter is known for its myriad of crossovers, including Borderlands, Batman, and The Avengers. But when the Tenet trailer debuted in Fortnite is still surprised many. Christopher Nolan is regarded as one of the better directors of his time, so it seemed a bit odd fo show off brand new footage of his highly anticipated movie inside a battle royale. But it got people talking, and maybe that was the goal.
Just as soon as Tenet was shown inside Fortnite, it was made known that a Nolan movie would be shown inside of Fortnite for free, and the theories began as to if and when more Tenet related content would appear inside of the battle royale. That time is now. Players online have found a hidden object that appears to be from Tenet, and when it is found, music starts being played that is also from the trailer.
Along with the in-game item, fans have done some data mining digging and found the object in the files. The triangle looking shape with a hole in it is certainly mysterious, but then again not much is known about Tenet itself, even though it is perhaps the most highly anticipated movie of the year. Unfortunately, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tenet has been delayed indefinitely.
What exactly the item is, and what a Tenet event inside of Fortnite would look like, is not yet known. But the crossovers in the past have been extremely creative, including licensed skins, special areas of the map, new game modes, and even the Nolan movie night in Fortnite, where fans were able to watch Inception, The Prestige, or Batman Begins. So time will tell what Tenet looks like inside of Fortnite.
The newest international trailer for Tenet gives fans a small hint as to what the mysteries of the movie are about, but the time inversion idea is something that fans will most likely not fully understand until they watch it. Even after one watch, there will probably still be questions, as many fans enjoyed viewing Inception multiple times to understand all of the intricate details. Nolan is dead-set on the movie being created for the big screen, so whenever movie theaters are ready again, Tenet will be there.
Fortnite is available now on Android, iOS, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions in development.
