MGS4 is known for many things, but its opening monologue sticks with many the most.In the opening moments, a grizzled Solid Snake reflects on how war has changed throughout his life, as he embarks on his final mission.
Despite the context being different, many have been able to use that intro to reflect on how different subjects have evolved. In this case,Twitter/X user CarlitoLopezVOcleverly applied it to Fortnite, with a short clip showing how much the game has truly changed.
“Fortnite has changed,” the trailer starts with Old Snake’s voiceover and the same intro music playing. “The age of building has become the age of Zero Build,” Snake reflects.

It’s rather cleverly done, and fans who know the setup of MGS4’s intro should feel right at home with Carlito’s recreation. One viewer added the “MGS4 aesthetic” to it, which further enhanced the viewing experience.
Tons of praise flooded the replies, with one reply saying: “This is f**king amazing and canon in my book.” The trailer even received a response fromFortnite’s Associate Producer, who said: “Okay, but this is like, really good. Like really, really good.”
Solid Snake is now available inFortnite via the Battle Pass’ questline.
