Fortnite OG returns next month and it is not a temporary event. Epic Games has confirmed that the original version of this free-to-play battle royale will be returning, with older seasons also making a comeback. Based on the wording used by Epic, fans will be able to play the OG battle royale for a long time.
A post on X (formerly Twitter) confirms that the original version of Epic’s battle royale returns on December 6. Fans can visit the game’s original map and earn loot from earlier Seasons. It’s not known how the previous Seasons will be brought up, but leaks suggest that they will be released on rotation.
Gamers everywhere have been anticipating the return of Fortnite OG ever since leaks of this event came to be. Based on the post from Epic Games, everything rumored about the OG mode has come true. It will be interesting to see how fans react to this mode once they get their hands on it.
Nostalgia has been a big part of gaming as of late and live-service shooters have noticed. Aside from the return of OG Fortnite, we’ve also seen Apex Legends and Overwatch 2 announce their nostalgic events. Both games limited their rosters and power-ups to make them feel like how they used to, with fans having mixed results on the matter.
Seeing Fortnite OG return like this should get fans talking. It’s easy to forget how this shooter wasn’t always used in crossovers and concerts. Older players will remember how the shooter had original characters who were supposed to save the world from aliens. The fact that it reached these levels of popularity shows just how vital and quality the original battle royale was.
