Fortnite OG is returning permanently in December


Popular throwback mode Fortnite OG is returning to Epic’s battle royale game permanently, it’s been announced.

Last November, tens of millions of players flocked to Fortnite to check out a new season called Fortnite OG, which gave fans a trip down memory lane by taking Epic’s game back to different phases of Chapter 1.

Fortnite OG’s launch sparked “the biggest day in Fortnite’s history with over 44.7 million players jumping in and 102 million hours of play”, according to Epic.

While that was a month-long event, the company confirmed on Tuesday that Fortnite OG is coming back for the long-term.

“OG is coming BACK and is here to stay,” it said on X. “Relive Battle Royale from the start and explore the OG map, collect OG loot, and relive OG seasons. Drop back in on December 6.”

Today’s announcement confirms a recent report by Fortnite leaker HYPEX, who said Fortnite OG would be returning permanently. They claimed last week that the first 10 seasons of Fortnite, which comprised Chapter 1, would be returning on a monthly basis.
