Fortnite’s SeasonOGwent down a treat, but, with Chapter 5 already upon us, this walk down memory lane has come to a close. However, it looks like developerEpic Gamesdoesn’t want to close the door on SeasonOGforever.
TheofficialFortniteTwitteraccount made it clear that we may well see a return of the nostalgic season in 2024.
“Ngl, theOGseason far exceeded our expectations,” begins the post, “so much so that we’d like to bring it back opens 2024 roadmap doc. In the meantime, see you on the Battle Bus.”
SeasonOGdelighted long-time fans of the legendary battle royale game by bringing back weapons and locations from Chapter 1: Season 5 which was originally released in 2018. This included the return of Tilted Towers, as well as classic weapons like the assault rifle, pump shotgun, and hunting rifle. We also saw the shopping cart and the all-terrain Kart make a comeback.
As time went on, SeasonOGintroduced other updates from Chapter 1, offering players a sort of ‘greatest hits’ collection.

InTRG’s review ofFortniteChapter 4, Jake Green called SeasonOG"perhapsFortnite’s biggest win" of Chapter 4.
“The best part of SeasonOGhas been the weekly updates, which have dragged players through Chapter 1, from Season 5 to Season X. Planes were added in, as were new POIs like Loot Lake’s floating island. It’s been a mighty fine time to be aFortniteplayer, especially one that’s been with the game from the very beginning.”
