Fortnite is taking a nostalgic leap back in time with its latest mode, Fortnite OG, whisking players seven years into the past to revisit the original map and weapon loot pool.
Launching in December 2024, this special and permanent mode reintroduces the beloved points of interest and arsenal from Fortnite’s Chapter 1, Season 1. Players will also find fresh spins on classic skins available in the dedicated Fortnite OG battle pass.
Here’s a rundown of what you can expect in Fortnite OG, from the revamped map to the retro weapons and the OG Pass.
The laid-back allure of the Fortnite OG map mirrors the setting from the Battle Royale’s inception in 2017’s Season 1, albeit with a few modern additions like Ziplines and Ascenders, added for those in the Zero Build mode.

Jumping back to the roots, the OG loot pool revisits the arsenal as it was on the very first day of Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 1, Season 1, complete with original traps. As the Fortnite OG season unfolds, more items will emerge from the vault.
Here’s a list, according to Epic Games, of “some” of the classic firearms you can anticipate in Chapter 1, Season 1 of Fortnite OG:
The Fortnite OG Pass is shaking things up with 45 levels of rewards that mix nostalgia with novelty. Old favorites like Skull Trooper, Renegade Raider, and Aerial Assault Trooper are back with a contemporary twist, reimagined as Skull Commander, Renegade Rebel, and Aerial Assault Bomber. Each of these revamped outfits will be obtainable through the pass, alongside alternative styles.
Mark your calendars—the Chapter 1, Season 1 OG Pass remains available until January 31, 2025, at 2 a.m. EST, suggesting the potential arrival of a Chapter 1, Season 2 OG Pass shortly after.
