Insider Scoop: Unveiling the Next Update for Fortnite OG and Chapter 1 Map

Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 4 has only been underway for a short two months, but it's time to anticipate what's next. Interestingly, it appears that time will actually reverse in Fortnite once this season concludes. The time machine acquired during the heists from Kado Thorne's basement has proven to be more than just a mere prop.

The upcoming season of Fortnite is expected to bring about unprecedented changes, potentially featuring exciting collaborations with Lego or Doctor Who. Additionally, there may be an opportunity to explore an enhanced rendition of the Chapter 1 island. Now, let's delve into what we currently know.

When does the next Fortnite season begin?

The current season of Fortnite is set to conclude at 11 PM PT / 2 AM ET on Friday, November 3. Assuming the usual pattern, the new season should become available after a brief period of downtime. Players can expect the servers to be back up by 7 or 8 AM ET on November 3.

Is it the start of Fortnite Chapter 5?

No, the upcoming season is not the start of Chapter 5. However, it may not be Chapter 4 either. There have been rumors suggesting that this new season will only last for a month, serving as a transitional season to bridge the gap between the Chapter 4 island and whatever Chapter 5 holds.

What is Fortnite OG?

Epic has exclusively promoted the new season of Fortnite as Fortnite OG without any specific chapter designation in the promos. Instead, they have taken a unique approach by engaging in off-game strategies to build anticipation. This includes sending nostalgic items like the enormous Durr Burger to influencers and streamers who were part of the Fortnite community in its early days. So far, these unconventional methods have served to highlight the throwback theme of the upcoming season.

There have been numerous leaks surrounding Fortnite OG, although there haven't been any official gameplay teasers. We've been aware of the 30-day season for quite some time. However, this is only scratching the surface.

According to these leaks, the concept behind Fortnite OG is that when the new season commences, we will primarily be playing on the battle royale island as it was during the initial stages of Chapter 1 Season 5. However, it won't remain unchanged for long. Throughout the month, the island will undergo various transformations, transitioning from Season 5 to Season X.

Epic Games placed a gigantic Durr Burger in Ninja's yard. However, the island will not remain unchanged. The inclusion of Zero Build in Chapter 3 requires some modifications since there were inaccessible areas in Chapter 1 without building. As a solution, ziplines and other means of transportation will be added where needed.

There have been reports suggesting that certain modern features introduced in Chapter 3, such as sliding, sprinting, and mantling, would be removed. Nevertheless, the Fortnite social media team has refuted these claims.

Amidst our expectations for changes, the loot pool of the island will undergo a holistic transformation. This entails the inclusion of Season 6 guns and other devices during the Season 6 phase, followed by Season 7 guns and other devices during the Season 7 phase, and so forth.

Fortnite OG Battle pass

There is absolutely no information available regarding a battle pass for Fortnite OG. No rumors, leaks, official announcements, or any other form of insight has surfaced. Although we assume it will feature remixed Chapters 1 skins, we currently lack any details about its existence.

Will Fortnite OG include any collaborations?

While there has been no recent speculation surrounding potential collaborations with Fortnite OG, there were earlier rumors about two significant brands being connected to this brief season: Lego and Doctor Who.

The notion of Doctor Who being involved in a time travel-themed season aligns perfectly and the thought of them not participating is almost agonizing. Several months ago, there were reports that Fortnite would introduce a Doctor Who mini-pass in November, although it is conceivable that this rumor actually referred to Fortnite OG. However, there has been little discussion about it for quite some time, so it is possible that the collaboration may no longer be in the works.

The Lego collaboration is not mere speculation but an official partnership that has been announced. While no products from this collaboration have been revealed yet, it is known that it will allow for the integration of real-life Lego creations into the Fortnite experience. Given the ever-changing landscape of the current season, a Lego theme would be highly fitting, although the timing of Lego X Fortnite remains undisclosed.

As further information becomes available, we will keep this story updated with the latest news, rumors, and hints.
