Fortnite returns to its origins: you can now play the game like in 2017

Fortnite is already seven years old. Almost eight. It’s a game with an age, and you can see that age in many aspects. For example, the number of people who feel nostalgic about how the game was in its early days. Not in its true beginnings, because no one remembers how Fortnite was at the very start, but when it introduced the battle royale mode. When it became what it is today: the game that changed everything with Season 1 of Chapter 1. Something that Epic Games knows well. Fortnite is returning to Chapter 1 very soon The […]

Fortnite is already seven years old. Almost eight. It is a game with an age, and that age is noticeable in many aspects. For example, the number of people who feel nostalgic for how the game was in its early days. Not in its true origins, because no one remembers how Fortnite was at the very beginning, but when it introduced the battle royale mode. When it became what it is today: the game that changed everything with Season 1 of Chapter 1. Something that Epic Games knows well.

Fortnite returns to Chapter 1 very soon

They know it so well, in part, because last November they launched a new season called Fortnite OG. The premise was that, during the season, they would relive different moments from Chapter 1 of Fortnite, recalling what the game was like back then. And it was a huge success. Tens of millions of players returned to the game after years of not playing. Something that Epic Games took note of. And now it is going to become a permanent mode for nostalgia lovers who still remember eating toast with Nocilla.

As commented from the official Fortnite account, Fortnite OG returns permanently. Starting December 6, we will be able to enjoy the original map with the original loot and even the original season, just as we remember it.

Additionally, the leaker HYPEX, has been able to confirm some more juicy details about this. Although it will start on December 6, we won’t have everything from the beginning. A new season will be introduced monthly in this first chapter. Chapter 1 consisted of 10 Seasons, so over the next ten months, all the seasons will be progressively introduced to form the entire original experience. Will they continue with Chapter 2 afterward or stop here? This is something we will still have to wait to find out.

This move makes sense when we consider that the launch of Fortnite OG managed to gather 44.7 million players. The highest number of simultaneous players for the game so far. Something they aim to replicate with the introduction of this new mode, similar to what others like Blizzard are doing with Overwatch: Classic, thus demonstrating that there is no weapon more powerful than nostalgia.

Fortnite, the third-person shooter with building and survival elements, is one of those games that needs no introduction. Known especially for its Battle Royale aspect, Epic Games' free-to-play cross-platform game has been providing frenzy and fun in a PvP (Player Vs Player) that has redefined the online multiplayer genre for years. And it doesn't matter how many years pass, the eternal rival of PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) or the more recent Valorant remains as fresh as the first day.
