Fortnite OG is apparently making a full-time comeback next month as a separate experience for the all-new Chapter 6

This is potentially very good news for Fortnite players who just want to drop off the Battle Bus like it’s 2017 as it has been claimed that Fortnite OG is set to return next month on a permanent basis.

Last year, Fortnite OG saw the temporary return of locations and loot from Chapter 1 Seasons 5 to 10, with an entire month-long season dedicated to the return. After it concluded, Epic Games was quick to tease its return, posting on Twitter that it “far exceeded our expectations. So much so that we want to bring it back.” Considering last weekend saw the launch of Chapter 2 Remix (which is essentially the same idea, except with Chapter 2 content), it seemed like the developers might have just hinted at it, but according to Fortnite news and leaks -accounts HYPEX and ShiinaBRthose plans can be much larger.

According to an “anonymous source,” Fortnite OG will return full-time in December, with all 10 Chapter 1 seasons returning “monthly.” It’s claimed that only OG loot and weapons will be available, so it sounds like a faithful classic experience, but thankfully Zero Build will reportedly be supported as well as the regular build mode, even though it wasn’t added until 2022.

As for the announcement, it is claimed that we can expect it to happen during The Finale live event at 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 information about OG’s supposed return, HYPEX says.

However, this does not mean that new seasons and chapters just disappear forever. ShiinaBR adds that “Chapter 6 and this are not the same and it will still be released as planned” – so Fortnite chapter 6 is still expected to launch early next month when Chapter 2 Remix is finished. 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. It would certainly be the best of both worlds, although it does make you wonder which of the two would be more popular if players could choose between them – we may find out in the coming weeks.
