Fortnite OG will return permanently next month

Fortnite OG, which recreates the experience we enjoyed in the first year of our favorite battle royale, is going to be made into a permanent mode.

We love Fortnite OG; a chance to go back to the days of yesteryear and enjoy Fortnite as it was in those first few months. But, annoyingly, it has so far only been available as a limited-time mode. Thankfully, that's changing.

Fortnite OG to become a permanent mode from December

According to the most-reliable Fortnite leaker in the business, HYPEX, we can expect Fortnite OG to become a permanent mode, and it will apparently be announced at one of the major gaming events taking place in December, like The Game Awards. As HYPEX revealed:

BREAKING — FORTNITE OG RETURNS PERMANENTLY IN DECEMBER 🔥• ALL CH1 Seasons (S1-S10) will return MONTHLY• ONLY OG Loot + supports both Builds & Zero Build• Announced @ The Finale and/or The Game Awards

In other words, Fortnite fans are in for an amazing 2025, with permanent OG Fortnite, and a new Chapter 1 season to enjoy every single month. Epic know their audience.

Capitalizing on nostalgia has proven hugely successful in BR games, with Apex Legends also recently launching a "day-one experience" mode. But we're praying Call of Duty can hurry up and follow suit with a Verdansk remaster...

Will you be playing OG Fortnite to return, and what Chapter 1 season are you most excited for?
