Summary
AFortniteleaker has claimed that OG will disappear with the new season, which could be bad news for fans. OG has drawn many lapsed players back toFortnite, but it may not be around for long based on this leak.
Many classic games likeEverquestandWorld of Warcrafthave opened legacy servers that allow gamers to play the original version. Loosely following this tradition, OG brought back many ofFortnite’s old-school itemsand points of interest. Shortly after the release of OG, the battle royale boomed in popularity to reach a new player record of 44.7 million players. With the OG season being such a success, many fans have hoped that it would stick around as an option like Zero Build mode. According to a new leak, these fans may anticipate something Epic Games isn’t currently planning.
Fortniteleaker HypeX recently stated that Epic Games doesn’t plan to keep OG going beyond the next season’s release. Beyond the prediction that OG was a fleeting idea, the Twitter user also confirmed the belief that the end of this season ushers in a new Chapter.TheFortnitemapcurrently has a meteor suspended in midair which ushers back to the end of Season 3. With OG set to conclude on December 2 with an Eminem live event, this meteor will likely smash into the map and create many changes. Unlike with Season 3 which kicked off a new season back in 2018, HypeX suggests that OG will be destroyed to bring in Chapter 5’s setting.
Epic Games brought back popular POIs like Tilted Towers, Dusty Depot, and Greasy Grove with the release of OG. While these locations may pop up in future maps as they’ve been known to do, it’s currently unclear when players can play Chapter 1’s iconic map again. Because new POIs are standard for each new season before OG, Chapter 5 will likely include several areas that haven’t been explored yet. As Chapter 1 and OG have been fan favorites, FitzyLeakz suggested that up to 4 million players who returned this season will leave the game again on December 2. WithEminem set to perform inFortnitethat day, these players could be leaving on a high note.
Given thepopularity ofFortniteOG, Epic Games may revisit the idea of bringing back an old map in the future. Because OG could disappear, fans may only have a few days left to enjoy the Chapter 1 map and its items.
