Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 is approaching its conclusion on August 25, 2023, and players are already looking forward to what Season 4 will bring. Epic Games is well-known for teasing every new season with numerous teasers and merchandise sent to content creators before revealing too much lore to the community.
Similarly, in an enigmatic move, Epic has begun teasing the upcoming season by projecting an astral eclipse surrounded by a spiral in the Season 3 island’s sky. Furthermore, Fortnite content creators are receiving mysterious plaques with a message signed by a character named “Kado Thorne” and an image of a red crescent insignia.
Moreover, Epic Games have started dropping teasers that hint at an upcoming heist theme with the words “Are you in?”. Here’s everything we know so far about what these terms mean and what they may imply for the upcoming season of Fortnite.

Fortnite content creators in Brazil, Germany, and the United States have already begun receiving shipments from Epic Games regarding Season 4.

According to well-known content creator SquatingDog, Kado Thorne stole his Lego Vespa figurine and substituted it with a plaque and a note indicating that the entity wishes to “add it to their collection.” While there has been no official confirmation, the community seems to believe that Kado Thorne is the primary antagonist of the upcoming season.
Multiple credible sources have speculated that Kado Thorne could be a Battle Pass character in the upcoming Season 4 and is a collector by nature. During Chapter 4 Season 3 Snapshot Quests, players have been tasked with collecting items such as a Chalice, Coral Buddies, and Refined Kinetic Ore, all of which point to a collector with an eye on these items.
However, a recent teaser posted by Fortnite creators confirm that Kado Thorne is indeed a new character and will be a new boss as well as a Battle Pass skin in Chapter 4 Season 4.
The character also features the eclipse in their design, also seen in the plaques, which seems to be the insignia of an upcoming faction to the island.
Moreover, several character teasers were posted by Fortnite on social media and were sent out to content creators which might be potential Battle Pass skins in Chapter 4 Season 4. While their official names have not been decrypted, except for Diamond Dealer, above mentioned are the codenames that the community has bestowed upon the characters.
