Fortnite OG return date: When does the classic map come back?

There's been plenty going on in recent chapters to keep us entertained, like the recent Remix (starring Eminem, Snoop and Ice Spice) and the current Hunters chapter that's themed around Japan and even features Godzilla.

But we've been itching to return to that first map ever since last year's event. And, in an answer to our prayers, not only is it returning, but it looks to be staying.

Let's take a look at the second return of the classic map and what else we can expect.

When is the Fortnite OG return date?

The Fortnite OG map will return once again on 6th December 2024.

Check out the post on X below:

Chapter 1 Season 1 is will be back in all its glory on that date!

What time does Fortnite OG release?

Fortnite OG will arrive at the daily reset point when all new in-game content goes live, although it should not be confused with the shop reset time.

This means it will drop at 2pm here in the UK. If there are any issues, it may be delayed, but it's looking good to arrive at that time.

What's the Fortnite OG map?

The map will be the same as the one that the game launched in Chapter 1 Season 1, and it's hard not to get excited about returning to some classic locations like Moisty Mire and Pleasant Park.

The only difference is that if you play Zero-Build, ziplines and ascenders have been added to help players get around the map easier.

Here's each location featured in Fortnite OG:

• Anarchy Acres
• Pleasant Park
• Wailing Woods
• Tomato Town
• Dusty Depot
• Greasy Grove
• Lonely Lodge
• Salty Springs
• Fatal Fields
• Moisty Mire
• Flush Factory

What weapons are returning in Fortnite OG?

What helps Fortnite OG stand out is the original map, but maybe even more importantly, the weapons you'll be using while playing.

Here are all of the weapons returning with the mode:

• ​​Assault Rifle
• Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle
• Burst Assault Rifle
• Ceiling Zapper
• Damage Trap
• Grenade Launcher
• Pistol
• Pump Shotgun
• Revolver
• Rocket Launcher
• Scoped Assault Rifle
• Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle
• Submachine Gun
• Tactical Machine Gun
• Tactical Shotgun
• Wall Dynamo

Epic has also confirmed more weapons will be unvaulted as the season progresses, so if your favourite weapon isn't in the list above, there's every chance it's set to arrive later down the line.

What do we know about Fortnite OG returning?

The most important (and exciting) part of this news is that Fortnite OG will become a permanent fixture.

So, this won't be a temporary event you can miss, like last time. It's great news for fans who loved it initially but couldn't keep up with the ever-changing landscape.

And even if you've stuck with it over the years, sometimes it's a comfort to return to a place that feels like home.
