Fortnite OG: The return of Chapter 1 and its special features
An exciting reveal is the return of the Chapter 1 map in Season 5. Players who carefully followed Kado Thorne's time machine in the lobby screen were able to spot the date "2018 07 12." This date refers to the start of Season 5 of Chapter 1. Insiders such as ShiinaBR and HYPEX confirmed that a different season of Chapter 1 will come to life each week, constantly changing the map.
Why “Fortnite OG”?
The term "OG" comes from American slang and stands for "Original Gangster." In this case, "OG Fortnite" refers to the time around 2018 when the battle royale game experienced its first major hype. Similar to "OG Minecraft" referring to the game's alpha and beta phases.
Battle Pass and Season Duration
The upcoming Season 5 will be shorter than its predecessors. According to leaks and information from insiders like Shiina, it is expected to last only a month. This is further supported by the shorter Battle Pass tier count of 50 compared to the usual 100. This move should provide players with a more immersive gameplay experience.
The Battle Pass itself will also be more compact, offering only four skins. These changes are intended to challenge players to complete the Battle Pass in a shorter time.
With these exciting new additions and a return to Fortnite's roots, Season 5 promises to be an unforgettable gaming experience. Stay tuned for November 3rd to embark on a nostalgic journey that will surely delight longtime Fortnite fans. We'll continue to provide updates as the Fortnite saga continues.
