Mysterious Fortnite Item Suggests a Tenet Event Has Begun

A mysterious orange carry case and an odd, triangular device mounted on top of it has been found in Fortnite, prompting speculation that an in-game marketing event for Christopher Nolan’s Tenet has begun.

The item can be found at Steamy Stacks, in the Unit 4 building. Head inside and you can faintly hear some music. Break through the ground beneath the unit’s staircase, and then break through the back wall in this underground room, and you’ll find the orange case and mysterious device here. That case looks very similar to the one carried by John David Washington at the 01:35 mark in a trailer for Tenet released last December. The music is also very similar - if not identical - to the music in that same trailer, and so may be a taste of the film’s Ludwig Göransson score. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/19/tenet-official-trailer"] Fortnite has already established its link with Christopher Nolan; the Tenet trailer was shown as part of a Fortnite event, and three Nolan movies were shown in full on the game’s map. Events in the game typically roll out slowly over a number of weeks, so it’s sensible to expect this tease to build up to a more substantial Tenet experience.
