Fortnite OG: Return Date Revealed Soon!

Fortnite OG marks the early days of this battle royale game, taking us back to 2017 when it started as an extension of an existing title and transformed into a worldwide sensation. Many players are eager to revisit this classic version, whether to enjoy it for the first time or to return to familiar spots. Epic Games is set to make this possible by permanently reintroducing OG Fortnite, complete with the beloved original map, loot, and more! The opportunity to hop back on the battle bus and explore the original island is just around the corner, so here’s everything you need to know about the return of Fortnite OG.

What can players expect in Fortnite OG?

Epic has announced that “OG is coming BACK and is here to stay. Experience Battle Royale as it once was and explore the original map, gather OG loot, and relive classic seasons.” The promotional image refers to Chapter 1 – Season 1, indicating that players will dive back to the very start of the game. Expect the classic map to feature iconic locations such as Anarchy Acres, Moisty Mire, Tomato Town, and Wailing Woods. The loot pool will be simple, but you’ll likely find Sniper Rifles, Grenade Launchers, and Rocket Launchers, along with staple weapons like Assault Rifles, Shotguns, SMGs, and Pistols. Don’t be surprised if the Bush disguise and Traps return, so keep an eye on your surroundings!

Recently, Epic confirmed that the Double Pump shotgun will be making a comeback in Fortnite OG with its launch on December 6. A leak from Shiina suggests that the OG Burst AR will also return at a later date.
