Fortnite Drops the Trailer for Its Return to the OG Map

On July 21, 2017, one of the most successful battle royale games, Fortnite made its debut. Today, the game is over six years old and has millions of active players at any given point. The game was a success even during its launch, with over 30 million players jumping into the game within the first 6 months of its launch. Considering that, it’s safe to say that the original patches of the game were loved by players all over.

Although the game has grown to a whole new level with features like pop-culture collaborations for skins and events, the game takes things up a notch by introducing in-game concerts. While the new features keep the players engaged, some players miss the original map that was eaten up by a black hole in-universe. With that said, Epic has announced that the game is to touch upon its roots in the latest update.

Original Fortnite features to make a return in the new update

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 5 is generating a lot of excitement among players due to its nostalgic twist. The update features the return of the original Fortnite map from Chapter 1 Season 5. The OG map includes classic locations such as Tilted Towers, Tomato Town, Dusty Divot, Salty Springs, and Paradise Palms. The OG map might evolve throughout the season to feature more iconic spots from Fortnite’s history, like Loot Lake.

Epic is not just copying the original map but blending the old map with new gameplay features that were not present in the past. This offers veterans familiarity with classic POIs while enjoying enhancements. Players can expect the return of classic skins, gliders, pickaxes, and other OG cosmetics, enhancing the retro Fortnite feel. Epic may temporarily revert some weapons and items to their original stats, providing players with a taste of the past. There might be changes to lobby backgrounds and graphics. Even the user interface might change to give it an old-school look and feel.

Players looking forward to playing the old map can expect the update to drop on November 3, 2023. The new season will expect to launch after the standard downtime maintenance, typically around 2-5 AM Eastern Time.

Other Features coming to Season 4 Chapter 5

November to December might represent a mini-season where players revisit the original map, followed by the introduction of a new map in December. Recent leaks hint at the return of various classic weapons, including the Classic Pump Shotgun, Light Machine Gun, Classic Scar, Classic Tactical Shotgun, Classic Assault Rifle, and Classic Quad Launcher.
