Now Playing: Fortnite Chapter 4: Season OG Gameplay Trailer

Fortnite OG arrived today and is initially based on Chapter 1, Season 5, which originally launched on July 12, 2018. That means the assault rifle and pump shotgun have returned to the game, along with fan-favorite locations like Tilted Towers and Paradise Palms. In a week on November 9, the new season will get an update based on Chapter 1, Season 6.

People have been clamoring for a return to Fortnite’s Chapter 1 map for years at this point, and the OG season makes that hope a reality. But it probably won’t last long, as this season is only supposed to last for a month.

For more on the nostalgia-filled season, check out everything new in Fortnite OG. Oh, and just because the game turns back time, No Builds is still available for the return to the Chapter 1 map.
