*** In a 2024 interview with Gamefile's Stephen Totilo, Donald Mustard confirmed that Chapter 3 was supposed to be one and the same with Chapter 4, with its story events continuing after Chapter 3: Season 4, the Seven to remain unchromed, and the main threat of the story to be Geno as opposed to the Herald. However, due to ExecutiveMeddling on Tim Sweeney's behalf (given their desire to expande Fortnite's vision beyond Battle Royale at the cost of less Live Events and a less-sigificant story), the story's events were accelerated to allow for Donald Mustard to step down during the events of C3S3.

*** In the document Epic was forced to reveal in the wake of their lawsuit against Apple, numerous cosmetics for Chapter 2: Season 5 were forcibly leaked by Epic themselves.
