Epic Games has detailed a few more details on its much-anticipated Fortnite OG mode, which brings back the game’s beloved original battle royale Island as a newly-permanent addition.
As previously suspected, Fortnite OG will rotate through the game’s original Chapter 1 seasons. Today, we learned that these will begin with a season lasting until 31st January – so roughly two months.
This means, of course, shorter seasons than the original Fortnite Chapter 1 featured – and shorter than the game’s main Chapter 6 version. But we’re all waiting for the meteor impact and the volcano anyway, right? So this is good news.
Fortnite OG will feature solos and squads modes at launch, with both classic building enabled and Zero Build options.
Other improvements from the original Chapter 1 will include modern building mechanics and traversal options to sprint, slide, mantle, door bash and move while healing. Epic Games does not make mention of the very latest mechanics added in Chapter 6, such as wall jumping.
