Fortnite’s OG season carried a trip down memory lane not only for current players of Epic Games’ title but also welcomed back returning players, offering them the chance to revive a cherished experience. Luckily for all those players who enjoyed the return of the OG experience, given their massive support, the Fortnite team was quick to announce that it will return next year.

However, the mode won’t come back in the exact form as players remember. Epic Games’ Exectituve VP, Saxx Persson, told Axios: “It’s just a matter of how and when, and how do we make it so it’s not just the same.”

The dev didn’t go into details about how the mode would change ahead of its 2024 return, but players have speculated it could last longer and revisit more maps, or even expand into Chapter 2.

We’ll be sure to update this piece as new information is announced as we get closer to the fan-favorite season’s comeback.
