Fortnite is making a nostalgic return to its roots with the launch of a permanent mode called Fortnite OG, featuring the original map and gameplay that first captivated fans in 2017. Starting today at 9 a.m. ET, players can immerse themselves in classic experiences, with access to the original map, loot, locations, and the beloved OG pass, along with gameplay options like zero build, solos, and squad modes.
The Fortnite OG mode is set to remain available indefinitely, with Chapter 1 Season 1 running until January 31, 2025, at 2 a.m. ET. However, players should note that seasons in this nostalgic version will be shorter compared to the current Battle Royale mode.
Fortnite continues to thrive as a leading title in the online multiplayer scene, celebrated for its vibrant graphics, customizable character skins, and fun dance moves. Its launch back to the classic format aims to rekindle the sense of joy and community that initially fueled its meteoric rise, and with hundreds of millions of registered users, it remains a landmark in gaming culture.
As Fortnite OG opens its doors to returning players and newcomers alike, it underscores the game’s commitment to both innovation and nostalgia, reminding everyone why it became such a phenomenon in the first place.
