The trailer which lasts for 1 Minute and 27 Seconds opens with a shot of the Monastery, Jay is seen training and in between we see him face off against a variety of monsters including a storm-infused crab, blue bear and finally the source dragon of motion (which LEGO Fortnite Odyssey players were able to see flying in the sky during their matches). While the first two battles don’t go well, Jay is determined to defeat the source dragon, we end the cinematic portion of the trailer with Jay using Spinjitzu which transitions into gameplay. We see our first look at Kai in a port area as he attacks an enemy with an emerald sword. Jay is then seen in a snowy biome with Zane (who uses ice powers), Jay uses his lightning infused Nunchucks against a bear.

We see Cole being able to dig underground with the Elemental Power of Earth, Zane is then able to freeze the water he walks on, Jay is able to shoot lightning rods similarly to the Thunderbolt of Zeus from Battle Royale Chapter 5: Season 2. The trailer ends with all four Ninja facing off against the Source Dragon.
