On December 6, 2024 Fortnite OG received full permanent status as a playable mode for all players. Fortnite OG reintroduces both the classic map layout and famous locations Tilted Towers and Retail Row and returns classic weapons including the Pump Shotgun and Scar.
There were 45 million players who participated in the OG event of November 2023 which led to the Fortnite team’s decision to establish Fortnite OG as a permanent game mode. During this event, the community demonstrated its profound enthusiasm for the basic gameplay features of the game.
Players who choose Fortnite OG get to enjoy the fundamental building features and weapon mechanics that originally made Fortnite so popular worldwide. The mode omits contemporary features including vehicles and crafting elements while preserving the essential gameplay elements from the original version.
The gaming industry follows a similar pattern as World of Warcraft Classic did by returning older versions to win back both returning veteran players and new players.
Through Fortnite OG Epic Games allows players to return to the original Fortnite gameplay and enjoy a classic experience that maintains the original spirit of the game.
