Everything You Need to Know About Fortnite OG: Release Date, Weapons, and More.
Fortnite will return to its roots with the OG game mode. Here’s everything you need to know about this exciting trip down memory lane.
The long-awaited Season 1 of Chapter 6 of Fortnite, titled Demon Hunters, has arrived, and players are rushing to accumulate V-Bucks to purchase the new Battle Pass, which features characters like Ronin and Japanese warriors. Highlights include collaborative skins such as Baymax from Big Hero 6 and Godzilla. Epic Games has introduced new movement mechanics and gameplay items, as well as bringing back trains to the new island, which is filled with various biomes. While this new Japanese-themed season promises thrilling action, veteran Fortnite players are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the OG Fortnite mode.
The OG Fortnite mode, scheduled to launch on December 6, will be incorporated with an update on Friday, just days after the start of the new season. This mode will commence with Season 1 of Chapter 1 and will bring back the original Fortnite island that kickstarted the Battle Royale mode. It is rumored that iconic locations like Retail Row, Tilted Towers, and Dusty Divot will return, and the map will be complete rather than the smaller Reload map.
As for the graphics, the return of the classic Fortnite aesthetic is expected, including a more vibrant look and a skybox that longtime fans will recognize. The mode will also allow players to engage in both building gameplay and Zero Build mode. However, OG mechanics will return, with Turbo Building disabled and movement reminiscent of previous seasons.
It is speculated that the OG mode will feature a new season every month, starting in December with Season 1, and Season 2 expected in February. Over a ten-month period, players will journey through all ten seasons of Chapter 1, although it remains to be seen if the Chapter 2 island will return after this time.
Regarding the Battle Pass exclusive to this mode, Epic Games has indicated that it will offer a special pass called OG Pass, which players can progress by earning XP in any Fortnite mode. While many hope for the return of classic skins like Renegade Raider, it has been confirmed that the OG Pass will introduce a new set of skins based on versions of the Chapter 1 characters.
Finally, one of the most exciting announcements was the reintroduction of classic loot, including traditional Fortnite weapons, which will evoke nostalgia for OG players. The return of items like the OG Burst Assault Rifle, Electric Traps, and the Double Pump mechanic is scheduled, promising to recreate the same experience that players enjoyed in 2017.
