Fortnite Season OG Rumored to Return Permanently Starting Next Month

According to two prominent insiders, Fortnite Season OG will return permanently in December. The news was reported by HYPEX and ShiinaBR, who received the information from an anonymous source and were able to confirm its veracity. They also said all Fortnite Chapter 1 seasons would return monthly with an OG item pool. Moreover, both Build and Zero Build modes will be available. The announcement is expected at Geoff Keighley’s The Game Awards, which will take place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Thursday, December 12, starting at 4:30 PM Pacific Time.

Fortnite Season OG returned for the first time last November, marking record player numbers for Epic. The first day after the relaunch, the Battle Royale game registered the biggest day in its history with more than 44.7 million players. It came at the right time, too: just a few months before, Epic had been forced to lay off sixteen percent of its workforce. Fortnite’s comeback, which started with Season OG, was largely responsible for a much healthier state of the company’s finances.

Epic seems to have figured out Fortnite users are really into nostalgia. Right now, there’s the Chapter 2 Remix season available on live servers. Are you enjoying it? What do you think about these returning seasons? Let us know in the comments.
