This season introduced cinematic trailers and lore into Battle Royale.

Storyline

Summary of Last Season

In Season 3, a meteor appeared in the sky of the Athena island. As the meteor approached the island, the inhabitants of the island began placing telescopes, camps, and signs around the island, all looking towards the meteor. During the final days of the season, small meteor fragments would crash into the island during matches.

The Season Begins

As the season began, the meteor from last season, as well as many meteor fragments, had finally crashed onto the island and damaging several areas on the island. The largest fragment crashed into the Factory and Dusty Depot, resulting in Dusty Divot. The smaller fragments landed around the island, hitting Tilted Towers, the Prison, Risky Reels, and the Motel.

The entirety of the Factory and half of Dusty Depot was destroyed from the largest meteor fragment. The fragment that landed at Tilted Towers destroyed most of the center building and the fragment that crashed into the Prison destroyed most of the prisons center. The fragment that landed at Risky Reels destroyed half of the cinema screen and landed amongst the densely packed cars and the final, tiny fragment, landed at the Motel, flipping over a bus and crashing into the motel roof.

Season 4

The meteor left behind Hop Rocks in the crater of Dusty Divot, these rocks grant Loopers who consume them a low-gravity effect for a short duration. After the impact, the The Government (also known as the the Unnamed Investigation Agency, or U.I.A) built a research facility at Dusty Divot to research and investigate a mysterious glowing rock which was left by the meteor.

While this was happening, a movie titled "It came from Moisty Mire" was being filmed near Moisty Mire when a meteor fragment crashed into the Prison. It was revealed that the supervillain Omega was freed from the Prison because of the meteor fragment, Omega began to assemble an army of augmented soldiers in his Villain Lair. In response, the superheroes, led by Carbide, began to formulate a plan at the Hero Mansion. However, all of this was later revealed to be part of the movie in the That's a Wrap! loading screen.

As time went on, The Government began filling in smaller craters and construction crews started rebuilding destroyed parts of Risky Reels and Tilted Towers. At the same time, the glowing rock in Dusty Divot began to crack and open, revealing a mysterious pod containing The Visitor, later revealed to be a member of The Seven. The Visitor broke out of the pod and trashed the research facility, and after escaping to the Villain Lair, transformed the fake rocket from the superhero movie into a real rocket by using Hop Rocks stolen from The Government.

After all of this, a hologram appeared in the Villain Lair which projected a three-day countdown for the Blast Off event on June 27th, 2018, followed by the countdown being broadcast on all televisions on the island and then a siren began blaring at the Villain Lair which could be heard from everywhere on the island.

Event and Aftermath

Once the countdown ended, the rocket (piloted by The Visitor) took off from the Villain Lair, leaving behind a thick trail of smoke as it ascended into the sky. It momentarily stopped mid-air to break off the rocket booster, before accelerating once more. Upon reaching a high altitude, the rocket shut off it's engines and stalled mid-air, before plummeting back down towards the island. As the rocket fell, The Visitor spoke, saying "Zero Point Oscillator on, setting coordinates. Engaging quantum field accelerator". The rocket then activated a laser that pointed to the center of Tilted Towers, and boosted towards the location. However, before the rocket hit, The Visitor activated a device which created a tear through space-time called a rift. The rocket entered the Rift and exited from one over Moisty Mire, flying across the island before entering another Rift near Snobby Shores. Finally, the rocket exited from a Rift at Loot Lake and accelerated into the sky, creating a giant Rift in the sky, known as a crack in the sky.

While the previous rifts created by the rocket closed, the crack in the sky did not, appearing to be permanent. As time went on, the crack in the sky began to crack more and more, causing space-time around the island to destabilize. As the season was coming to a close, small rifts began appearing around the island, rifting away objects such as the Tomato Town mascot, the Motel sign, and the Durr Burder head. As objects were rifted away, objects were also rifted onto the island from other realities such as a Viking ship anchor, dinosaur bones, and an ancient wagon.
