Highlights
Following a long wait of four years, Fortnite players can now rejoice as they will soon have the opportunity to venture back to their beloved spots on Athena island, thanks to the anticipated return of the original Chapter 1 map in the forthcoming season.
Recent leaks indicate that the beloved default skins from Chapter 1 may be making a return, fueling curiosity among players about the potential availability of the original weapons and items. Enthusiastic fans eagerly anticipate the chance to once again utilize the iconic vehicles, namely the ATK and Shopping Cart, which were highly favored in Chapter 1.
According to a subtle social media post, two OG vehicles are rumored to make a comeback in Fortnite when the island reverts back in time next season. The anticipation for the upcoming season is already high, as it has been confirmed that the original Chapter 1 Fortnite map will be reintroduced. Fans have been eagerly requesting the return of the original map ever since it was removed with the start of Chapter 2. Finally, after four years of waiting, gamers will have the opportunity to revisit their beloved locations on Athena island.
Even before Fortnite officially confirmed this theory, fans had already begun speculating about other potential returns. Recent leaks suggest that the current default skins will be featured in the Battle Royale playlist image, which is typically reserved for Battle Pass skins. This has led to speculation that the current default skins will be part of the Battle Pass, while the classic default skins will be re-enabled. These speculations have only fueled players' curiosity, making them wonder if they will not only have access to the first Fortnite map, but also to the original weapons and items.
More than just the map is making a comeback in Fortnite. The official Fortnite Competitive Twitter account conducted a poll asking fans if they preferred the ATK or the Shopping Cart, two popular vehicles from the game's initial release. These vehicles were often the stars of viral Fortnite videos during Chapter 1, so it's no surprise that fans were ecstatic at the prospect of being able to use them once again.
However, if the rumors surrounding the upcoming season are true, players might have to part ways with many of the quality-of-life improvements that have been added to Fortnite over the years since Chapter 1. Rumors suggest that players will no longer have the ability to mantle, sprint, or hurdle, and newly introduced features like grind rails and vines will vanish entirely. Hopefully, bringing back these vehicles will offer players an effective means of traversing the map.
With the much-anticipated conclusion of Chapter 4 Season 4 just around the corner, Fortnite enthusiasts can expect an abundance of noteworthy hints and an influx of enticing teasers. This is an established tradition prior to the commencement of a new season, but this time, Epic Games aims to captivate not only the existing Fortnite fanbase but also those former fans who harbor a sense of nostalgia for Chapter 1.
