Fortnite veterans rejoice! The classic experience you’ve been craving is back for good. Epic Games has introduced Fortnite OG, a permanent game mode that lets you revisit the original Chapter 1 seasons, complete with the beloved locations, loot, and gameplay from 2017 and beyond. Relive the evolution of Fortnite as each OG season chronologically rotates, allowing you to experience the game’s transformative journey firsthand.
This isn’t just a simple rewind; it’s a curated blend of nostalgia and modern enhancements. While the core gameplay mirrors the original Chapter 1 seasons – including loot progression and feature introductions – quality-of-life improvements remain. Expect current building mechanics, movement options like sprinting, sliding, mantling, and door bashing, and even the ability to move while healing.
FortniteWhile the Fortnite OG experience embraces the past, certain modern elements persist. Expect contemporary building and movement mechanics, allowing for a fluid and engaging experience. The presence of quality-of-life updates ensures accessibility and enjoyment for both veteran and new players.
This nostalgic journey also includes the return of iconic features like Reboot Vans, sniper scope glare, the infamous double pump shotgun strategy, and more. For those who prefer a less construction-focused approach, Zero Build mode is also available in Fortnite OG, now enhanced with improved traversal options.
A dedicated Fortnite OG Pass features 45 tiers of rewards, all inspired by the game’s first season. However, this pass has a shorter timeframe, ending on January 31, 2025. This aligns with the accelerated season rotation within Fortnite OG, offering a more rapid progression through the Chapter 1 timeline.
Fortnite OG launches on December 6th, with the first season concluding at the end of January. Dive back into the history of Fortnite and experience the evolution that shaped the battle royale phenomenon.
