Fortnite OG will soon be a new permanent mode: when will it be playable?
Epic Games plans to make Fortnite OG a permanent game mode within the overall Fortnite experience starting in December 2024.
Fortnite OG was the celebrated return of Epic Games’ popular video game to its first chapter, a month-long season event that took place in November 2023. Epic Games has continued this annual tradition with Fortnite Remix: Chapter 2, but it’s not stopping there, revealing its plan to establish OG as a new permanent game mode within Fortnite.
Epic Games announces the arrival of Fortnite OG as a permanent in-game mode in Fortnite
Via a post on Fortnite’s official social media, Epic Games has revealed its plan to turn the November 2023 Fortnite OG limited-time event into a permanent in-game experience, making it accessible without date restrictions. Starting on December 6, 2024, it will be possible to replay OG as its own game mode within Fortnite:
That is, from this date, OG will be part of the core of Fortnite game modes such as Battle Royale, Zero Build, Reload, and Team Friction. The news was generally very well received by the legion of fervent fans of the popular Epic Games title, for whom this nostalgic return to the map that was between 2017 and 2019 was a very good time of the game.
The main advantage of the arrival of this new mode is that it is a new option Epic has considered to continue offering a wide range of modes in which to spend time in Fortnite. On the other hand, there are those who believe that this diversification could result in less care and attention to the overall experience of the game, because with a more divided staff, Fortnite could be more prone to failures and bugs with its updates.
In any case, Fortnite OG is here to stay, so for all intents and purposes, it’s no longer a temporary event and has become just another Fortnite mode. This unexpected announcement could also mean that the same will happen with Fortnite Remix: Chapter 2. In this way, the current video game season, which serves as a nostalgic return to Chapter 2 and takes place between 2019 and 2021, could return in 2025 and become another experience within the wide range of game modes that Fortnite boasts.
