Last year, Fortnite OG saw the temporary return of locations and loot from Chapter 1 Season 5 through to 10, with a full month-long season dedicated to the throwback. After it wrapped up,Epic Gameswas quick to tease its return,posting on Twitterthat it “far exceeded our expectations. So much so that we’d like to bring it back.” Considering that last weekend saw the start of Chapter 2 Remix (which is essentially the same idea, except with Chapter 2 content), it seemed like the developers could have just been referring to that, but according to Fortnite news and leaks accounts HYPEX andShiinaBR, those plans may be way bigger.
As for the announcement, it’s claimed that we can expect it to happen during The FinaleFortnite live eventat the end of the current season on November 30, or at The Game Awards on December 12. Both HYPEX and ShiinaBR “can verify most” of the information about OG’s supposed return, HYPEX says.
However, this doesn’t mean that new seasons and chapters are just going to disappear forever.ShiinaBR addsthat “Chapter 6 and this are not the same thing, and it will still be released as scheduled” – soFortnite Chapter 6is still expected to launch at the start of next month when Chapter 2 Remix is over. With that in mind, it sounds like OG could become its own separate game mode, a bit like Reload which also has its own separate maps and loot pool. That’d definitely be a best-of-both-worlds scenario, although it makes you wonder which of the two would be more popular if players can choose between them – we might find out in the coming weeks.
