How would you respond to a human sized tomato on your lawn? Sounds like a piece of fiction or something straight out of a dream, but not for Timthetatman! The popular Fortnite pro came across a gigantic surprise just hours after Fortnite confirmed the return of root features from Chapter 1 in the upcoming release. As you may deduce, this surprise package accounts for a special initiative by Epic Games that’s implementing a perfect ‘nostalgic’ fest!
From Assassin’s Creed to Resident Evil Remake, the ongoing year has been all about nostalgia. Apparently, Epic Games is also looking to bank on the same with Fortnite’s new chapter, or maybe more. With the hype around Fortnite’s OG’, another big homecoming is expected to be unloading. A speculation that was fueled by a tweet of CouRage has now received a ‘stylish confirmation’ from the developers.

Also, a tweet from CouRage almost confirmed the speculations of the squad reuniting for the new chapter. One of his latest tweets read, “The return of Fortnite Chapter 1 means only one thing…The OG Squad must return too.”
