For players who aren’t up to date with the game, the Fortnite OG, which was introduced as an LTM (limited-time event) in November 2023, is coming back.
And as Epic Games have confirmed—it is going to stay!
When the Fortnite OG event went live last year, the game regained a decent number of its active player base.
Undoubtedly, many of us were more interested in playing the old Fortnite than the current version.
From dropping in hot spots to getting destroyed by a nine-year-old with very high game sensitivity to having fun with friends, the OG Fortnite was a great experience.
Thanks to Epic Games, we will finally be able to experience that with the touch of modern mechanics like sliding and such with Fortnite OG game mode.
With that said, here’s the release date and countdown timer for Fortnite OG.
Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 1 release date and time
Fortnite OG’s Chapter 1 Season 1 will be released on December 6, 2024. Like any other, the game mode will be available to players on all platforms.
Epic Games has not shared the exact release time or the maintenance schedule, assuming maintenance will occur before the update is live.
That said, based on the release time of the past updates, Fortnite OG should go live around 1 a.m. PT.
