For Fortnite fans who’ve been longing for a return to the game’s roots, the moment has finally arrived—Fortnite OG is back, and this time, it’s sticking around.

True Fortnite enthusiasts will recall that the original Fortnite experience wasn’t just about battling in a battle royale; it was about PvE base-building, fending off zombies, enjoying cutscenes, and grinding for rare color-coded loot in high-level zones. However, this latest version of Fortnite OG isn’t about that classic PvE mode—it’s a return to Fortnite’s battle royale days, right before Epic Games shifted gears to make the mode the massive global success it is today.

As Epic Games announced, "OG is coming BACK and is here to stay." The revamped experience will let players relive the early days of Fortnite Battle Royale, exploring the original map, collecting classic loot, and revisiting those iconic seasons. The game will officially drop on December 6, inviting everyone to jump back into the action.

What’s different this time is the emphasis on permanence. After a hugely successful limited-time return of Fortnite OG in November 2023, which saw over 6.1 million concurrent players at its peak, Epic has made it clear that this nostalgic experience is here to stay. Unlike previous throwback events, this version of Fortnite OG will remain a permanent feature, allowing players to dive back into the past whenever they choose.

The trend of revisiting the past has become a common theme for live-service games. Apex Legends recently returned to its roots with the "Launch Royale" limited-time mode, while Overwatch brought back classic heroes and maps in the Overwatch: Classic LTM. PUBG also joined in by redeploying its original Erangel map earlier this year. But Fortnite’s throwback celebrations are among the most extensive, with Chapter 2 Remix currently running, which features weekly drops of locations and loot inspired by early Chapter 2 gameplay. That’s running until November 30, just before the OG Battle Royale returns for good.

If you’ve been waiting for a chance to revisit Fortnite’s glory days, the time is now. On December 6, it’s back, and this time, it's here to stay.
