Fortnite announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, the throwback mode of OG Fortnite will permanently bring back Fortnite Battle Royale’s original island and will include the OG Map and OG Loot.
However, some players are apprehensive about the return of the original Battle Royale. X user @ddaceyv said that "OG Fortnite may not hit the same if" "OG burst, OG pump, OG graphics, and OG sound effects" do not return to the game.
It appears that players will be able to play across multiple seasons maps, with the OG mode starting at the pre-season one, 2017 map.
OG Fortnite launched last year in November as an LTM (Limited time mode) to incentivise players to play ahead of the release of LEGO Fortnite. During this LTM Players played on the Season 5 map of Chapter one.
Fortnite is currently in the midst of revisiting the Chapter Two Map, with an added twist of a Snoop Dogg location and an Eminem mini-gun.
It may seem the world is in a dark place, but the return of OG Fortnite will allow for some much needed rest and relaxation during the Christmas break.
